It is relatively easy to get and C and C permit here in Florida and no uptick in crime rate. The fact that one out of fifty you encounter may be packing may be more like a deterrant.
I kinda like the idea of an old forty five colt stapped on gunslinger style. NOTHING concealed. You know what I have.So bad boys what you going to do. Bwahahahahahahaha!
I am with you on that. I think we should all be carrying firearms. I suspect you might see less road rage...:)
What? Florida didn't become the "Gunshine State"? Neither did Texas, or any of the other 35 some states which have "shall issue" CHL and in Alaska (one of the 35) and Vermont which provide for "Carry What you want, when and how you want to", just like "right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" requires.
I was living in FL in '87 when the shall issue CCW law was passed. IIRC the FL murder rate fell by almost 1/3 within the first 5 years after the law went into effect. The antis tried to account for the drop in crime by all kinds of other excuses, but everyone knew that the fact that law abiding people could now legally carry concealed firearms was primarily responsible.
