A:
Florida Statute 790.25(2)(c) outlines certain exceptions to the state's general laws regarding the carrying of firearms. Specifically, this section allows individuals who are employed by a county's emergency management agency to carry firearms while performing their duties, even if they are not law enforcement officers. It is meant to provide emergency management personnel with the ability to carry weapons when necessary for public safety or in response to emergencies.
This exemption is important for county emergency management officials who may need to carry firearms for protection or to manage specific situations during emergencies or disasters. However, the statute still implies that the firearm must be carried in the course of their official duties and within the scope of their responsibilities.
It's essential to understand that this provision does not grant the right to carry a firearm for personal use or outside the context of an official emergency management role. If you're an emergency management official, ensure you are following the specific guidelines and procedures set by your agency and local government to comply with this statute.
