WARNING Visitors Has anyone seen the big billboard just after you cross into florida on I-75.
It says
"WARNING Visitors, florida residents can use deadly force"
and it has the state of florida with a trigger and a barrel, makes it look like a pistol.
I laughed when I saw it the other day.
It should just say "Don't **** with floridians"
Here it is.

I went to their web site. That's the Brady bunch - the anti-gun freaks that are trying to take away gun rights. They meant that sign as an insult. Trouble is, most people take it as a good thing - try to rob a Floridian, go to the morgue.

^^^ like stated.....florida has actually one of the good set ups when it comes to guns and residents.....we punish the criminals that use guns severly...but its smiled upon for a civilian to protect themselves.....
lil tid bit.....australia took away guns from civilians in cities about 6 years ago....crime involving guns went up 22% across the board (robbery, murder, rape, etc.)
a criminals going to get a gun if they want one, but if we make it hard for the law abiding people to own them, then crimes going to go up
the only down part is if i show up for a call involving a gun at a residence i really dont want the resident to be holding onto that gun when i show up....i believe crime will go down slightly because of this new rule...but when there are incidences there going to be complicated.....
i think everyone should own a gun, make it easy for the law abiding citizen to get one...BUT make them take a course on gun safety and laws....a criminal wont break into someones house if he knows there armed....

Oh, wow, yeah I thought it was a pro gun kinda thing, HA. And you pass that sign so quick, you don't get a chance to see the website, so I think they are wasting their money on that one.
I think its a great law, the only thing that scares me, is that you can't even get in a fight anymore without being worried about getting shot. All a person has to do is be in fear for their life and they can shoot you.

I personally don't think civilians need guns. If no one had one, everything would be cool. Poeple do have them though, so I guess statistically it's safer when everyone has one. The only gun I would ever sonsider owning is an M249 SAW, which I'm pretty sure I can't just walk into a store and buy.

if guns are outlawed then only outlaws will own guns.. leaving everybody else w/ no protection for their families... if everybody owned a gun there would be way less crime in my mind (would a criminal rob a person if he knew they had a gun...prolly not)....
the Second Amendment- the right to bear arms
i personally was happy when the brady bill expired (a bill that banned "scary looking guns")

good response..just think. after banning all guns..knife crimes will go up...then we will ban knives in the world..then after we know it there will be an increase in stranglings and beatings with your own hands..then we will have to outlaw hands

You should read some of the other rights (or lack there of) for australian citizens, they still treat everyone as if they were a criminal.
I personally don't care for guns, and I can't stand people who always brag about the guns they own, or the ghetto rats who are always like "yo dawg, don't be playin' I gots my 9 in my pizants," you get a lot of that working security at a bar or club. Once I get out of college and start my career, I'll prolly buy 1 or 2 hand guns just to have in the house or apartment just in case of an emergency, and I've always wanted a police issued rapid fire shotgun, first gun I ever shot lol!
