ORLANDO, Fla. — A group of mothers wants to keep open carry of guns illegal, and they're asking Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer to help them do it.
It could have an impact on tourism, and that's why the mothers want Dyer to weigh in.
The group called MomsRising is asking Dyer not to back a bill that would allow open carry in Florida.
MomsRising said it defends families and the tourism industry in Central Florida.
"Best case scenario, I would like to see this go away. We don't need this on the books here in Florida. It's not good for families, and it's not good for our economy," said Sili Recio of MomsRising.
