Personally, I don’t mind denying weapons to someone who’s pled guilty to a felony. He should be in jail anyway, and they can’t have guns in jail.

“I thought it was important to keep guns away from people who are not ready, or who are not able, to handle guns responsibly,” said the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Yolly Roberson, a Democrat.

Responsible gun handling is: Good body position, solid grip, clear sight picture, and breath control...

Seriously, does FL law equate ‘withheld’ to ‘expunged’? Perhaps one of the SHL’s out here can shed some light on this notion in FL law.

Bearing arms for self defense is a right, not a privilege. This is just incremental victim disarmament.

If you don’t trust someone to be armed on the street, you’d better keep them in prison because if they intend trouble they will arm themselves whether it’s legal or not.

I’m not in FL, so maybe someone can answer this who is :

Has there been a problem with a rash of permit-holders committing gun crimes there and is this bill a response to that?

Two bills have been offered in the state Legislature that would make it harder for people in Florida to get or keep licenses to carry guns.

The first bill will probably increase the age before someone can apply to 85.

The second bill will require a 15 year waiting period for background check ;-)

I don’t carry a gun…

… to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don’t carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun
because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid. I carry a gun
because there are real threats in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil. I carry a gun
because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun
because I understand the limitations of government.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry. I carry a gun so that I don’t have to
spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to
die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m a cowboy. I carry a gun
because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.

I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun
because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.

I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun
because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don’t carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun
because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

“Police Protection” is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves.

Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate
the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
