Alright!

[BlueNgold]

I’m starting to send a trend of individual protection matters to enhance organizational protection.

The AD force continues to rely on the organization to protect the individuals...

[Mollypitcher1]

Good for Scott. He gets most things right.

Jihadis will now avoid the Florida National Guard.

“Qualified”

Last I remember, every single one is required to demonstrate proficiency with both a rifle and pistol, maybe a shotgun.

LOL You’re joking right. All they are plumbers, roofers, etc with a uniform and I have been on the range with them and they are frigging awful at shooting , well most of them anyway.

[DoughtyOne]

That’s all well and good, but how about open carry on our military bases?

Why are our armed forced unarmed. What the hell is that all about?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Right now we would even take “frigging awful” over naked to any terrorist who waltzes up.

I am so glad he won reelection. I was a little nervous with the whole fan thing that Crist did. Thankfully Floridians voted for the right person.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Agreed. It is b.s..

[DoughtyOne]

= :^)

The Executive Order specifically says "full-time" guardsmen. That would probably narrow the field substantially. But, it's a start I suppose.

Hey! Don’t tell that to Juan Williams, who is on record as saying:
“Not in my strip malls, they won’t!”

**All they are plumbers, roofers, etc with a uniform and I have been on the range with them and they are frigging awful at shooting , well most of them anyway.**

528 plumbers and roofers died in Iraq and Afghanistan as a direct result of hostile activity while protecting your sorry ass.

Just saying.

That’s four states now - Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Florida - right? What about the other 53, or did I miss some?

When are you going to fumigate Florida’s sanctuary cities, Rick?

Don’t leave it to Blondie—She’s already shown her RINO colors.

I doubt Gov. Scott has that authority. Military bases are federal property.

I had to demonstrate proficiency with a shot gun too, 12 gauge - 1963.

So far TX, AR and Fl. I am waiting for Nathan DEal to step up here in GA.

I agree with that, and I didn’t mean to imply he should do something. I think it’s reasoned for folks to take away that I did. I realized he couldn’t change that. Probably should have mentioned it.
