As to your “urban conditions”, you liberal clown: blacks account for 21% of the population, yet urban blacks commit 54% of gun murders. Were it not for your “urban conditions”, many wouldn’t have to carry their gun everywhere they go.
Uh, no, rather it enforces the original intent of the CCW legislation and protects "gun-toters" from malicious, opportunistic, or misguided prosecution ("getting the Nifong"). Moron.
Ah, so it's perfectly OK for you to force YOUR perceived solutions on rural communities, but for them to force stuff on you is out-of-bounds, then?
Maybe there's another one. ;-)
And which party is responsible (and so if they're offended by the solution, too bad) for the 100 years of statist rights-suppression that led to that situation?
Huh? Led to what situation? The situation where someome may feel uncomfortable seeing someone carrying a gun openly? Didn’t know that was party specific.
Well, it may not be, but it's certainly specific to statist vs. freedom loving pols. Particularly in the South, Dems are responsible for gun control, as they passed nominally color blind laws prohibiting all sorts of gun-related rights exercise including CCW, which were intended and enforced in such a way as to make sure newly freed blacks were defenseless.
As time went on, the laws began to be interpreted literally and enforced more equally upon everyone. One can't help but assume that that effect of that, coupled with the way the government-friendly leftist media treats guns and gunowners has largely contributed to people's discomfort with guns in public in the hands of those other than their tax-paid employees (isn't THAT an odd inversion of logic?).
Like SCOTUS ruling that machine guns need not be treated as "in common use" when they were very much in common use till THE GOVERNMENT made it so onerous that no one bothered anymore.
See the circularity? FAR too convenient and tempting to entrust to someone with the ethics of a politician.
7 little words. None of which require the murkier recesses of an unabridged dictionary to discern the meanings thereof.
None of this legalistic crap would be needed if we just applied the Second Amendment as it was designed.
I agree that the laws and demonizing of guns has made that perception in people. I also think that people get nervous around guns because of gun violence alone too.
Another example would be the poking their nose unConstitutionally and unwelcome into healthcare, then justifying restrictions on what we may or may not do because the taxpayers are funding our healthcare.
I'm sure there's some truth to that as well, but it should become less and less connected the more people see the law abiding going about armed.
The real mayor there, Shirley Gibson, I think she also ran for Meek’s seat (our critter), has actually done a great job for Miami Gardens by cleaning up the city which is a neighboring city to ours north of county line road. Joe Robbin Stadium resides there together with Calder racetrack
this is about removing all the illegal to florida laws from the local rules.
many of these local idiots pass gun laws with full knowledge that they can not be enforced. They do it for feel good PR. You can never know the laws as they change from county to county.
This will neuter the leftists and ths socialists.
Minnesota did it right when they wrote their statute....
“on or about one’s person or clothing.”
Your cover garment blows in the wind....
No big deal.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
And yes, it has happened.
Florida has gun registration? Or registration of firearms owner?
Or a calm and reasonable person calls who simply doesn’t know carry is legal and the cops stage a major operation anyway. Carvers? Culvers?
