Docs vs Glocks

I have some good news to share with you. In the case Wollschlaeger vs. Farmer the federal judge today decided in our favor permanently baring the State of Florida to enforce the gag law preventing physicians to discuss firearm safety issues with their patients.Now we can continue educating our patients about the safe handling and storage of firearms, thereby preventing the accidental injury and death of children. I am very grateful for the opportunity to represent the Florida Academy of Family Physicians which supported our case all the way to victory. Wollschlaeger vs Farmer "The State is permanently enjoined from enforcing § 790.338(1), (2), (5), and (6). The State is also permanently enjoined from enforcing § 790.338(8), to the extent that it provides that violations of § 790.338(1) and (2) constitute grounds for disciplinary action. The State is further permanently enjoined from enforcing § 456.072(1)(mm), to the extent that it provides that violations of § 790.338(1), (2), (5), and (6) shall constitute grounds for which disciplinary actions specified under § 456.072(2) may be taken. A separate judgment will be issued forthwith pursuant to Rule 58 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure." Yours Bernd
