Tax Collectors In Florida Openly Carry Guns, While Public Is Banned From Doing So

[Swordsmyth]

“A Central Florida tax collector says a new policy (https://www.ammoland.com/2017/07/florida-tax-collectors-to-openly-carry-while-state-forbids-the-right-to-citizens/#ixzz4m4A4lxVP) will allow his employees to openly carry firearms while they work,” The Associated Press reports (https://www.clickorlando.com/news/seminole-county-tax-collector-will-allow-employees-to-carry-guns). “Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg told the Orlando Sentinel that according to Florida law, he and his employees are considered ‘revenue officers’ and are exempt from the state’s ban on the open carrying of firearms while performing their duties.”

Why is this a problem? Government functionaries have always been allowed to carry when mundanes cannot. The privilege to bear arms is afforded to them because they keep the government in power. If they allowed tax scofflaws to bear arms just think of the ramifications.

Personally if a tax collector is armed I would just as soon see what he has .

You can't carry firearms in Florida?

Not openly. One of seven or so states. You can conceal, but you need a license.

Of course they would carry guns. Tax collectors have a long and honored military tradition. Revenue services, in fact, fired the first naval shots of the civil war.

I like to know what my options should be . Revenuers should know not to come down the lane . I made a little conversion chart with pictures for the Grandkids . Like if the evil govt agent has a 9mm , get the Semi Auto 12 Ga , if the evil govt agent has a .357 , get the AR15 .......

15 years after the Declaration the govt was taxing to build an Army to use as Revenue Agents ( Whiskey Rebellion ) .
