We'll just have to wait and see. Give it a year then let's look at the 'numbers" from Florida. Plus, if you don't like this idea, then you don't have to live there either.
Also, the "disastrous" scenarios mentioned above assume that everyone has a license to carry concealed firearm and with the new bill, fire indiscriminately at all times. What are the gun laws in Florida? Are grandma & grandpa "packing heat" at the bingo parlor? I think that it will help to add "preventative effect". We cannot rely on policemen to be stationed on every corner (we aren't willing to pay for it) so we must protect ourselves (our right to do so).
In my opinion, there isn't anything inherently wrong with this bill, it gives an added layer of protection to law-abiding citizens. Sort of like leveling the playing field a bit.
Let's see happens. And for those of us who are nervous about it, we can avoid the "hanging chad" state (hahahaha!).
Mojo, the numbers may or may not lie but can still be manipulated. It is better to have multiple sources that are balanced over a breadth of biases to get a more "complete" picture (in my opinion). In other words, your two sources, plus maybe US Buraeu of Crime statistics or something like that. Just for balance and to support your argument more strongly.
Mojo, the number may or may
