The AP analysis shows that from March 2018, when the law was enacted, through December 2019, there was a wide disparity in its per capita usage in Florida’s 67 counties. Twenty issued at least one for every 5,500 residents during that time period, the statewide average. Three issued at least one for every 2,000 residents, including Gualtieri’s Pinellas County, which includes the Tampa Bay area, and has nearly 1 million people. Highlands County, near Lake Okeechobee, ranked No. 1, issuing one for every 850 residents.
On the other extreme, 12 counties issued one for every 30,000 residents or less. Two neighboring Panhandle counties — Escambia and Santa Rosa — issued one for every 100,000 residents or more. Another nine small, rural counties issued none.
Sheriffs from the counties that had sparingly used the law or not used it at all told AP in a questionnaire that they are not “philosophically opposed to the law” but rather “just haven’t needed it,” AP notes.
Florida is one of 17 states that now have their own versions of “red flag” laws. The District of Columbia also has a similar law. Eleven of these laws were enacted after the Parkland shooting, AP notes.
