I think you can carry a concealed machete for self defense in Florida!

Was this the Galleria? Sawgrass Mills?
Never had any problems at Town Center (Boca), Dadeland (Miami), and the Falls (Pinecrest).

No discription of the attackers? Machette attacks are usually done by Turd Worlders.

The robbers knocked him to the ground and took $180 and some credit cards. At least they didn't leave with his head.

Come to South Texas, try that stunt on me, meet Mr Glock.
One can carry in FL; maybe Mr. Reiter will now.

It's time to write your congressman and senator to push for a complete ban on all assault machetes immediately...it's for the children.

"This is why I carry EVERYWHERE I go."Roger that!!
In this day and age; a citizens right and need to 'carry concealed' cannot be emphasized enough.
Have a safe 2005.

Do you think the lying bastards at the Brady Center will now call for a ban on machetes?
