I know we praise Florida many times for their stance on the right to carry and other firearm related laws, however I'm of the opinion that they really got this wrong. I consider this almost as distracting as cell phones, texting, eating, reading and applying make-up in the vehicle. More importantly, the driver can not hear the sounds around him/her, while the music is that loud. I've seen countless times, people failing to yield to emergency vehicles because they could not "hear" them and were too involved with other matters to see them. In addition, it's impossible to hear if you're vehicle is malfunctioning, etc.

 

I don't understand how this ruling has anything to do with freedom of expression. Maybe someone likes to "express" themselves by driving naked with only shoes on. I'll contend that it is safer than driving with blaring music, however it's against the law. It doesn't make sense to me.

Its stupid this was even a lawsuit, but I agree with the court. Also, if you're listening to music so loud to drown out a 100+ decibel siren, chances are you're going deaf before 30 anyway.

Ehh. U can barely hear emergency vehicles in luxury cars with sound dampening. I would think they would regulate it over the fact that no one wants to listen to ur music. It's annoying and disruptive.

Just another example of the direction this country is going in...loud music, pot smoking, burning flags...protesting at military funerals...

the fudd does loud music and pot have to do with flag burning and the like? Or was that sarcasm?

my opinion of things this country can do without... nothing else..just my 2 cents

Well when he gets t-boned by an emergency vehicle because the music was too loud and he missed the siren he can still be happy with his decision. I just hope the emergency personnel don't get injured. This guy...could care less what happens to him

You don't have to have the music up very loud to drown out emergency vehicles that aren't practically right on top of you. Many cars today have good sound isolation. I've been in some that make it hard to hear sirens until they are pretty close with nothing turned on but the HVAC. You turn up the music to mild listening levels, and the list of vehicles that happens in is quite big.

When I used to be an auto mechanic, my reply to people complaining of a noises would be to tell them to turn the radio louder.

I think this is an exact Nixon quote from 1972. Those damn kids and their loud music and smoking the pots.

I think the only people who do that are the one stupid family that calls itself a church (not using their name on purpose).

 

IT"S THOSE DAMN KIDS WHO SMOKEN THE POTS!!!

In this thread: Why people who base their entire opinion of a state on its gun laws are idiots.

I see that in not just this thread, buy many others here on NJGF. Whether we like to admit it or not, there's more to a state that how they handle and manage their gun laws.
