Florida lawmakers pass a "Take Your Guns to Work"

[rjc]

This can and will be argued in court for years, but in the meantime I can legally carry again. From personal experience, I can tell you that there are 3 people alive today because I had a gun and knew how to use it. I have no intention of stepping on anyone's personal rights, but I also have the right to protect myself and my family and every intention of doing so. I would never take my gun into someone's home without their knowledge and permission, but it will be in my car (which is locked and the alarm on).

I will now step down off my soapbox.

I haven't found anything on it, but supposedly they're trying to get it passed so that if you have a permit in Georgia, you can carry your gun anywhere, including government buildings and schools.

I know a lot of people will oppose this, but the more places people are likely to carry guns, the less likely someone is to go on a shooting spree.[/quote]

Alan, though I am not in GA any longer, I believed they passed this last Friday night. It was one of those late night, last second, good ole boy, legistlative deals.

If they did, I guess I waited too long to renew my permit. It supposed to be really hard to get one after they pass that. I'd like to know the details. My understanding was that I'd be able to carry concealed even while working in the schools. Granted it is kinda hard to carry a Smith & Wesson model 411 concealed during the summer.

I think there is alot of gray area on this, and that is part of the problem, we talk about it being in a person's car, I don't see how that should effect anyone. Carrying it on themselves might be a different manner. serving customers while carrying a sidearm could be proved to be detrimental to business in some ways. I don't think a responsible gun owner would be a problem if the gun were kept in a vehicle, or even in a locked cabinet or locker for personal belongings, but I can understand a business owner not wanting it carried while working.

You've got it only partly right. The new bill that passed, if signed by the governor would allow a person with a concealed weapons permit to carry a weapon in State parks, on public transportation, and in restaurants. You still won't be able to carry in a government building or school.

The law of nature. It is better to be judged by 12 than carried by six.

Ok, do you come up with all these on your own, or do you have a book?

I usd to have a pick-up truck with 2 gun racks in it. One was above the seat in front of the window that was kept empty, the other was was down behind the seat, out of sight, where there was usually a loaded high-power rifle and or a loaded shotgun. (for food hunting, varmit hunting, OR, whatever).
