Florida Agriculture Commissioner suspends concealed-carry permits of Capitol riot suspects [View all]

Florida agricultural commissioner Nikki Fried suspended the concealed-carry permits of nearly two dozen Floridians who are suspected of involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots Tuesday, according to her official Twitter account.

"I just suspended the concealed weapons permits of 22 people involved in the insurrection against the United States of America instigated by Donald Trump on January 6, 2021," Fried said, calling the former president out by name in the post.

Florida is among the nation's leaders in arrests related to the Jan. 6 riot in which hundreds of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building in hopes of overturning the election results. There are 55 charged defendants in connection with the Capitol riots who were Florida residents, according to the U.S. Department of Justice Tuesday.

At least five Brevard County residents were charged in connection with the insurrection, according to the DOJ.
