It is no surprise to me....I just wonder how the so called conservative southern reps that got elected will vote on this issue....Our fight against the antis will go on way past my life time.....We had man killed here in Bradenton Fla yesterday....He came home and found two perps who were breaking into his house. He confronted them with a knife and was shot and killed...To bad he did not take advantage of Florida CCW laws and then he might have stood a chance...He should have pulled back and called the cops..It is sad to see that he left a wife of 32 years....I try all the time to tell friends you do not have to be a victim....
Bradenton's about 30 miles north of my AO. Yes, I read about that poor fellow in the Herald-Tribune today. From the sound of it, one of the perps is related to a neighbor (where the Sheriff found the BG's car in the driveway).
This old fellow made several large tactical mistakes in engaging the bad guys, not the least of which was immediately attempting to go head-on at them with a knife. Of course, it's a helluva note to think that your average homeowner would need to benefit from tactical training in their own front yard.
