SENT ON BEHALF OF MAYOR SCOTT MADDOX:
Thank you for alerting me to your interest in this regards. My comments were in no way meant to dissuade any person from defending him or herself or from receiving firearms training. The concern I stated pertained to liability issues that would attach to the City of Tallahassee should it provide firearms or firearms training to citizens. I am sorry if my statements were misunderstood.
Respectfully,
Mayor Scott Maddox
*** MY RESPONSE **
I think he missed the point, I think the City would have FAR LESS liability if we provided or at least ENCOURGED firearms TRAINING by qualified instructors in firearms safety..
