Florida Agriculture Commissioner suspends concealed-carry permits of Capitol riot suspects

[Zorro]

Florida agricultural commissioner Nikki Fried suspended the concealed-carry permits of nearly two dozen Floridians who are suspected of involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots Tuesday, according to her official Twitter account.

"I just suspended the concealed weapons permits of 22 people involved in the insurrection against the United States of America instigated by Donald Trump on January 6, 2021," Fried said, calling the former president out by name in the post.

Florida is among the nation's leaders in arrests related to the Jan. 6 riot in which hundreds of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building in hopes of overturning the election results. There are 55 charged defendants in connection with the Capitol riots who were Florida residents, according to the U.S. Department of Justice Tuesday.

At least five Brevard County residents were charged in connection with the insurrection, according to the DOJ.

1. Agriculture Commissioner?

Does the State Police decide on fertilizer allotments per farmed acre?

2. Last paragraph in the linked article ...

Paraphrasing:

The licensing branch of the agriculture department can suspend licenses of those involved in felonies.

Didn't specify which license.

3. Nikki Fried is bad ass.

So glad she's an official in my state, one of the only good ones.

4. I like her, too but I think I like Charlie Crist better

Yes, she has full authority to do this. Too bad she can't just take the guns away from them and ban them from ever having any again.

6. I am thinking of supporting Val Demings, but not sure at this point.

One thing I do know for sure, I'd NEVER even consider voting for Death Sentence.

7. The latest info I read about Val Deming

Is that she will probably forgo the governor's race and run against Marco Rubio. I really like her, too! In fact, I was kind of hoping she would be President Biden's choice for VP.

8. Yeah, I realized that as I was going to sleep last night.

I thought about getting up and changing it, but nah, too tired.

Yeah, it's the Senate she's running for. I too was rooting for her for the VP slot, though Harris is a fine VP and I totally support her.
