A Florida appeals court on Wednesday ruled the state’s decades-long ban on openly carrying weapons in public violates constitutional rights, sparking celebration from conservatives.

The First District Court of Appeal of Florida issued a decision striking down the state’s 1987 ban on the open carrying of firearms, writing that it infringes on Second Amendment rights. Offenders charged under the law faced a second-degree misdemeanor with a $500 fine or a maximum of 60 days in jail.
