I’m pretty sure they have shooting ranges in Fl.

Of course they do. However, ranges aren't what I'm talking about, as you probably already know.

“Besides, up until a few years ago the guy in charge of the Dept of Agriculture’s name was Charles Bronson. So everyone’s carry permit was signed by Charles Bronson.”

That is seriously cool, and should have set precedent for each office holder afterwards to also assume the name. LOL

So, 168 out of 700,000? Next to none. Then, define "gun crime".

1) That's 168 over 25 years ("the life of the program", from 1987 to present), or an average of 7 per year. Compared to 700K current permit holders, that's an insignificant percentage.

2) "Gun crime" is likely defined as any offense involving a gun, and which would include carrying a gun into a restricted area, etc.

3) If there were any significant number of real crimes involving CCW holders, the papers would have a rogues gallery of CCW mug shots to accompany each new crime involving a CCW.

Heh, thanks for posting.

I suppose I’d have one just like that if I’d sent off the paperwork as soon as I got it from FL (out-of-stater). I just couldn’t make myself pull thr trigger (so to speak) to seek gov’t permission to exercise a Constitutional right. A local LEO here would prolly think it’s a joke with Charles Bronson’s name on it, but still - had I known, it mighta been worth it just to get the “endorsement”... LOL
