*you know the drill*

We should have that anyway.

We should have that anyway.

We should have that law, yet still not allow concealed weapons.

Exactly

Criminals don't care about the 10-20-Life rule.  If they're gonna kill someone, they will.  Making concealed guns legal for them is only going to drive up the crime rate.  I will absolutely vote no on this bill.

Exactly.  If you're going to kill someone, you won't stop to think about what will happen after you kill them.

Then why has crime dropped over 5% in Florida since the concealed weapons law was passed here in Florida?

Because crime has been falling nationwide.  It's part of a trend

Crime falls for a REASON, Governor.

Yes, a higher standard of living, more education, more gun control... then again, I have no clue why crime was so high during the Reagan and Bush years, before crime started decreasing.

Finally, I bet Florida's crime decreased because they've gotten a higher standard of living lately, and have been getting way more prosperous

To Mr. Ford:

Wouldn't a terrorrist be able to get an AK-47 whether they were legal or not?

Not if we make sale/importation of such weapons illegal except for the military in any and all circumstances, not to mention pressuring all other countries to do such

Just kidding.

Exactly.  That's why ordinary citizens need to be allowed to carry firearms to protect themselves from those criminals who would do them harm.

Right-o.  The criminal will sure do the following:

"Hello, sir.  How are you?"

*brandishes gun*

"Well, I think I may just shoot you now.  However, I think that I'll wait here considering whether to shoot you... or perhaps I shall do a happy jig for no reason."

*stands there for 2 minutes, then does a happy jig for 2 more minutes*

"Righto, I'm going to shoot you now.  I-am-going-to-shoot-you!"

---

The thing is, I think most criminals won't give advance worning that they're going to shoot someone.
