The shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman has sparked a debate over Florida's stand your ground law but also about gun laws in general. Zimmerman is one of nearly a million people who hold concealed weapon permits in Florida, more than any other state that keeps comprehensive records. Florida is an acknowledged testing ground for laws that either protect gun rights or enhance them. What do you think? Is Florida a positive example for other states to follow when it comes to Second Amendment protections, or is the state passing reckless legislation that makes the Sunshine State a more dangerous place? Talk about it!

NO ONE in Florida (or any other state, for that matter) should have a concealed carry permit. It is a violation of the Second Amendment!
What part of “shall not be infringed” do they fail to understand?
