Florida was one of first states in the last two decades during the modern push for concealed carry privileges to obtain them.

In other words, except for the state that adopted concealed carry earlier, Florida was one of the first!

State pride prompted me to point out that Indiana has had this legislation since the 1930's (and our laws are still far superior to all the Johnny-come-lately states that have adopted concealed carry in recent years). But I realize your point is also valid -- Florida was a leader in push for this legislation in the last few decades.

"since the 1930's (and our laws are still far superior to all the Johnny-come-lately states that have adopted concealed carry in recent years). "

I can't let this get by without at least a question or two. I assume that you are considering TX a "johnny-come-lately state" in this matter. No argument about that. But TX has some of the most stringent licensing requirements in the nation. I have not checked to see if we are reciprocal with Indiana, but why do you claim that your laws are "far superior" to ours?
