No more ‘gun-free zones’ in Florida? Lawmakers float plan to end them

Hahnfeldt said the only location restrictions that would remain intact would be those imposed by federal law, which the state cannot control. Private property-owners could still choose to prohibit concealed guns.
More than 1.7 million people have concealed weapons permits in Florida, the most of any state.
Gun Free Zones have been a major failure....Funny I remember when I was a kid we rode around with our guns in a rack in the back window of our trucks.
I know I was gone from Florida for 20 years while I followed my hubby around while he was in the army. So I don't know when they took that right away from us.
Back to the article, I like the idea, because the majority of CC people are law abiding citizens if the weren't they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of getting the CCP.
And a lot of them are ex military so know how to handle themselves in an emergency.
