Flags Half Staff
 
Anybody know the reason for some flags in Lady Lake being flown at half staff?

There are only 2 people who can order the US Flag to be flown at Half Mast, the President and the Governor.

Any Flag being flown at Half Mast in Florida right now, violates US Flag protocol.

There was an order for that from on high.
Flags to Fly at Half-Staff to Honor Victims of the Tragedy in Nashville, Tennessee | Office of Governor Jim Pillen

The school shooting in Nashville is the reason. Just like all the other times we've seen are flag at half staff. You'd think people would get tired of seeing it like this way.

That has nothing to do with Florida.

The President of the United States ordered US flags to Half Mast until sunset on 3/31/23.

Any US Flag flying at Half Mast today in Florida, is not only violating US Flag protocol, it's disrespectful.

Getting back to Florida it’s a slap in the face to everyone signing a new law in Florida okaying concealed carry without permit. Not signing in public but closed meeting!

To add, the 12 month period ending June 30 '22 there were 7000 permit applicant that were denied a permit. Be careful out there they will be carrying on July 1!

Why were they denied?

Was it a simple clerical problem with the application? Or did they fail a background check?

If it's the latter, it's possible that they should not be allowed to own a firearm at all...

Quote:
President Joe Biden ordered flags at half-staff today to honor those who were killed at a Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday.

In response to Biden’s proclamation, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ordered the flags of the United States and the State of Florida to be flown at half-staff at all local and state buildings, installations and grounds throughout the state until sunset on March 31.

There are probably some people who keep them up longer than March 31, 2023.

Uneducated Question: understand that there is no need for a concealed carry permit BUT Is a background check still needed before the actual sale/delivery of the weapon? If so felons (etc) would be caught at that point. NO???

No. Not to mention people with mental issues.
