Following a meeting at the Florida Capitol Building, state Rep. Michelle Salzman, a Republican, was accused of harassing and threatening members of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly of Florida because of a video that exposes why she will not support a constitutional carry bill.

On Jan. 18, Santiago Avila, Jr. and 10 members of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly of Florida (RNHAFL) met with Salzman in a conference room at the Florida Capitol building in Tallahassee. Santiago told Salzman there were two bills they wanted to address; a pro-life bill (Senate Bill 146) called the Fetal and Infant Mortality Reduction Act, and a constitutional carry bill HB 103 Carrying of Firearms Without Licenses (pdf).
