Local Law Enforcement Will No Longer Enforce Florida’s Open Carry Law
September 11, 2025
Local law enforcement agencies said Thursday morning that they will stop enforcing Florida’s open carry law.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office, and the Pensacola Police Department all said they will not enforce the state law banning the open carry of firearms. The move follows a decision Monday by the First District Court of Appeal that found the law unconstitutional.
“Recently, the First District Court of Appeals declared Florida Statute 790.053 (Open Carry Ban) unconstitutional. While it is possible that the State of Florida could appeal this ruling, it seems unlikely. As such, I am instructing my deputies to no longer enforce the open carry ban found in FSS 790.053,” Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons said Thursday morning.
The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office and the Pensacola Police Department also said they will comply with the court decision.
New Military And Veteran Resource Center To Expand Into Century
September 11, 2025
A soon-to-open military and veterans resource center in Milton will expand with services, in Century.
The “Mission Next Center,” which opens later this year in Milton, is a partnership with the VetCV Foundation.
“We have one of the largest veteran populations in Florida,” said Rep. Michelle Salzman. “As a veteran myself, it has always been one of my priorities to try to help veterans however I can. Creating a resource center that provides care for that veteran not just for the education, or for the benefits that you receive from the federal government, but maybe you need a wheelchair ramp, maybe you need help on getting to and from doctors appointments or whatever the case may be.”
“There’s a lot of nonprofits out there that don’t have a way to connect. So, we’ve created that, I think.”
“There are a lot of fantastic organizations that are ready to do a tremendous amount of work,” said VetCV Foundation Chairman and Secretary Niels Andersen. “We are just excited about this.”
The Milton location is expected to open in October in donated space at Pensacola State College in Milton and will soon thereafter offer services at space in Century donated by PSC. More details on the Century opening will be available here on NorthEscambia.com as the date nears.

Remembering: Our 9/11 Museum, World Trade Center Site Photos
September 11, 2025
The images are burned in our minds. The sight of two planes crashing into the twin towers of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
The site where the towers fell is a quiet spot in lower Manhattan that is home to 9/11 Memorial.
For a photo gallery, click or tap here.
The Memorial remembers and honors the 2,983 people who were killed in the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. The design, created by Michael Arad and Peter Walker, consists of two reflecting pools formed in the footprints of the original Twin Towers and a plaza of trees. The Museum displays monumental artifacts linked to the events of 9/11, while presenting intimate stories of loss, compassion, reckoning and recovery that are central to telling the story of the 2001 and 1993 attacks and the aftermath.
The Museum’s mission is to bear witness to 9/11. This place of violence is resurrected into a place of peace; a safe gathering place to mourn, comfort, heal and think.
We took our NorthEscambia.com cameras to New York to bring you a look at the museum and reflection pools.
