Florida and particularly Miami, has gotten pretty bad. This is the reason I have aquired gotten my concealed weapon's license and started to carry. In some parts, crime and people have gotten really out of hand and one should be more careful and ready. Even my sister who was a long-time "I will never own a gun" advocate has changed here mind recently and even went with me to the range last week to try it out and will probably be carrying soon.

doncha just love it when a plan comes together? armed guy, looking for trouble gets his wish, and nobody even got hurt.

[WayneS]

That’s one IGA that may not have to worry about any armed robbery attempts in the near future.

I thought Horatio Cain was cleaning that place up?

Horatio Cain: Or out. (Puts on sunglasses as he walks out of frame)

This is the perfect example of where the gun grabbers think that a full scale shootout is inevitable. Guess what... it didn’t happen. The good citizens protected themselves and their business and showed perfect restraint in not firing a shot. Guns in the hands of good people is not a problem, we’re not all gang bangers and drug addicts.

I couldn’t have said it better.

[xcamel]

Indeed.

[stuartcr]

Was that guy a criminal before he drew his weapon?

[DuncanWaring]

And in the end, West Palm Beach police arrested customer Marshall Hugo Grant for ... carrying a concealed firearm.

From this, I would infer that Mr. Grant did not have a concealed-carry permit, and that his acts should not be associated with those who carry concealed lawfully.

It’s nothing like that in the Keys. I don’t even lock our doors in the daytime. I have about as much use for a gun as a humidifier here.

Where is youtube when you need it?

We live in Delray, but there are a lot of places here in S. FL that I just don’t go by myself. Of course, the fact that even in the better areas the drivers are clueless doesn’t help....

Hey, they rhyme!

[Resolute Conservative]

Watch for the managers to be fired for carrying at work just like Dominos and Pizza Crap has done.

[WayneS]

For your sake, I hope you are right.

Personally, I prefer to have it and NOT need it, then to need it but not have it.

[stan_sipple]

count all the votes! (sarc)

"Personally, I prefer to have it and NOT need it, then to need it but not have it."

Agreed. I carry my .40 caliber Springfield Armory XD concealed on my person at all times unless I am teaching, entering a government building, or traveling by plane.

[brytlea]

Yeah, I didn’t live here during that election, but I have to say after I moved down here, suddenly it all made sense.

The managers, who witnesses said never returned fire, ended up surrounding Grant, who hid behind a vehicle

Must be some pretty big boys...
