On Thursday, Governor Scott signed measure HB 4009 that deletes part of state law which has prohibited the manufacturing or sale of a maritime tool known as a slungshot.
According the a Senate analysis of the bill:The slungshot often consists of a weight affixed to the end of a long cord of being wound into the center of a knot called a monkey’s fist.
Although the slungshot is a maritime tool, it became an improvised and very effective weapon, widely used by street gangs in the 19th Century.
