yea when you live right near so many states its silly... but down here in florida where you can drive 5 hours and still be in the state its kinda nice. I know i certainly wouldnt use my weapon to kill any stranger, the only time people who legally own guns might get into trouble is if they loose there temper and react and do something crazy but that would happen anyway you loose your temper and kill your wife with a steak knife ;).
I was just boggled by it coming from MD where the laws are so tough and you can be stalked and still get denied for a concealed carry permit and come to fl and they practically give them out to anyone..AND YOU DONT have to speak english i heard they give the tests in SPANISH Too. haha ----- Original Message ----- From: "Timothy Heald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 10:09 AM Subject: RE: Possible Sniper Arrest > North Carolina isn't much different. I understand Virginia has concealed carry, but I am not yet sure of the specifics, but until we get some kind of legislation at a federal level that makes other states recognize a permit it doesn't matter. I spend almost all of my time in DC, and they would probably arrest you for a pocket knife around here. > > Tim > > -----Original Message----- > From: William Wheatley [mailto:bill@;ediets.com] > Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 10:05 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Possible Sniper Arrest > > > :) thats the one nice thing about FL > a 3 hour course and you have a concealed carry permit. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Timothy Heald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 9:19 AM > Subject: RE: Possible Sniper Arrest > > > > No fear man, I know concern is the root of your position.
