As many as 25,000 people may have been temporarily denied the right to purchase a gun in Florida. Those would-be gun owners haven’t been told no, but have been told the decision is pending and left on hold, often for months at a time.

Florida Carry, Inc., represented by constitutional attorney Eric Friday, has filed suit against Florida Department of Law Enforcement arguing that the states inability to provide a solid ‘yes’ or ‘no’ within 24 hours deprives Florida citizens of their constitutional right to own a gun.
