"Florida lawmakers pass "take your guns to work" law"
 
By Michael Peltier
Wed Apr 9, 3:49 PM ET

"TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Reuters) - Most Florida residents would be allowed to take guns to work under a measure passed by Florida lawmakers on Wednesday.

The bill, allowing workers to keep guns in their cars for self-protection, was approved by the Florida Senate by a vote of 26-13. It now goes to Republican Gov. Charlie Crist to sign into law.

Backed by the National Rifle Association and some labor unions, the so-called "take-your-guns-to-work" measure would prohibit business owners from banning guns kept locked in motor vehicles on their private property."

       They have some nifty gun-safes designed for cars, like this one and the trunk of course.

Maybe we can become a more considerate and polite society. The next person you chew out might blow your fucking head off.

Mr. CEO, remember that whole thing about you pissing away people's retirement plans for your own personal gain? Well see, there's a line outside...and they're all armed to the teeth.

Cool.

Certainly it would decrease the population numbers, and that can't be all bad.

That's not Most Florida Residents, that's those Florida Residents who have passed the background check and the minimum training to get a concealed carry permit. Hardly a majority of residents.

So your solution, then, is to not have any law-abiding citizens allowed to have their guns? Yeah, that worked great at Virginia Tech. That was a "gun free" zone too, wasn't it? And the campus shooting in....Indiana was it? Made a huge difference there too, right?

Not sure about that. I know for me, I would be a lot less likely to take a gun to work and shoot people, if I knew the chances were really good, that they would be armed also.

You have a point. People should keep their firearms on their person under their immediate control at *all times*.

Status: offline 		Crime rates lower in Florida ? Lol, I wish. That's just not the case. Remember, in Florida, we're used to seeing running gun battles between folks with assault weapons chasing each other on the interstate. True story. What other state can claim that, huh ? Huh ? Not even the cowboys in Texas, I believe. Yup. yup, in Florida, some can't even poke their chads properly. But, if'n ya piss us off, make sure yer locked and loaded. Oh, and make sure we don't "feel threatened" or it's sayonara, baby.
