Since the courts struck down the open-carry ban, I’ve been hearing the same questions over and over:

“Can I carry anywhere now?”
“What about grocery stores?”
“Do restaurants count?”
“Can I get arrested if a business asks me to leave?”

The short answer: Yes, open carry is legal — but the rules are far from limitless.

I recently published a detailed blog post that covers:

✔️ Where you can openly carry in Florida
✔️ Restricted locations that still trigger criminal charges
✔️ How private businesses can legally ban fi****ms
✔️ What qualifies as a “menacing display” under Florida law
✔️ How permitless concealed carry fits into the current rules
✔️ What to do if you’re questioned or arrested

If you carry in Florida — open or concealed — this is information you should know.

Big changes just arrived in federal sentencing — and they could make a real difference for people facing charges or already serving time.

Amendment 821 updates two major parts of the federal guidelines:

🔹 First-time, non-violent offenders with zero criminal-history points may now qualify for a two-level reduction in their guideline range.

🔹 The old “status points” system has been reworked so that many defendants no longer receive extra criminal-history points simply for being on probation or supervision.

Even more important: these changes are retroactive.
That means people already serving federal sentences may be eligible for a reduction — but relief is not automatic. A motion must be filed, and the judge makes the final call.

If you or someone you care about has a federal case in Miami (past or present), these updates may significantly change the sentencing landscape. I’m always happy to help people understand what their options are.
