FL's murder rate is down 58% since the shall issue CCW law was passed in 1987. I was living in FL when that law was being debated. It was passed once by the legislature but Democrat Governor Bob Graham vetoed it. The next year it passed again, and this time Republican governor Martinez signed it into law. The media was beside themselves when the law was being debated, they were predicting wild west shootouts on every street corner and at every traffic light, and blood running like rivers in the gutters.

Now 20 years later neither the media nor the Brady Bunch has conceded that the result of the CCW law has been exactly the opposite of what they had tried to con the public into believing. You would think that if reducing crime is truly their goal they would be glad to see the dramatic reduction in crime which is undeniably linked to the passage of CCW laws in almost every state. But of course that isn't their agenda and they will continue to demand more gun laws until the RKBA is totally eliminated. We have to make sure that our Federal and state lawmakers are aware of the new FBI crime stats, and emphatically remind them that we will hold them accountable at the polls if they try to resurrect the AWB or pass any more restrictive gun laws of any type.
