TALLAHASSEE (AIP) – Florida Governor Ron DeSantis today
signed a bill into law that he said will hopefully clarify traffic rules regarding
car parking on Florida streets and in front of businesses in the Sunshine
State.
“There seems to be some misunderstanding among our visitors
and residents about proper parking protocol,” said DeSantis. “This new law should go a long way toward
answering what appear to be lingering questions.”
The new law, popularly known as the “Quick Draw” statute
allows all parking disputes in Florida to be settled by gunfire between the parties.
“Let’s say that you both want the same parking spot and had
both arrived on the scene at the same time,” explained DeSantis. “At that point the fastest to draw, fire and
kill can lawfully claim that parking space.”
“In a case where both drivers are wounded, the longest
surviving driver is entitled to the spot.
This goes for regular and handicapped parking spaces.”
Unofficially parking enforcement officers are urging citizens
currently possessing .38 caliber or smaller handguns to upgrade to larger
models to increase their chances of closer parking to their intended destinations.
