Why I left Florida

[sipowicz]

Tampa, Florida -- A woman was accidentally shot in a hotel bathroom after police say a gun fell out of another woman's holster in the next stall.

Tampa Police say 53-year-old Janifer Bliss was shot in the lower left thigh when the small caliber handgun hit the ground at the Clarion Hotel in Tampa.

Bliss was transported to Tampa General Hospital with minor injuries.

The handgun belongs to 56-year-old Debra Monce. Monce has a concealed weapons permit, but the case has still been referred to the State Attorney's Office to determine in any criminal charges are appropriate.

Now I wouldn't be surprised if this was picked up by large news networks and broadcast so everyone can see how dangerous guns are....

How many are left to go Sip? If you don't find someplace you like you will be a man without a country.

I copied this post from another site. Not usually my thing but it is worth your attention. Pretty soon there will be no states left that are worth living in.

Since I will one day be retiring to New Zealand, no problem...and I won't have the hassle of safeguarding a handgun in my house like here in America since in NZ, they keep them for you at the range...how convenient is that!

 

[Aussie44]

Sip,Move here and you can keep them at home.

Believe me, you DO NOT want to come to Florida. I real good friend runs the local gun shop. I hang out there a lot. No offense to any elderly folks but there are lots and lots of people who have guns that shouldn't. They have no idea what they are buying, most have so much trouble pulling a slide back, then they look at the revolvers and end up with a who knows what. they shake when holding the gun, never practice, just load and go.

The CC weapons permit is a joke. There is no actual qualifying needed. Just sit through a 2 hr class on how to file the paper work, fire one shot (blanks can be used) sit back and wait for it in the mail.

Drop your gun in your purse and/or pocket and go to Wal Mart.

Sad but true from the GUNSHINE STATE

 

[ingmansinc]

Florida is not only for the old. This has long been known as the State of the newly wed and the nearly dead.

As for a ccw being a joke, look at a person who buys a boat, if you can write a check and turn a key you are a ship captain and we don't even want to go to the dept. of motor vehicles.

Re:sb2099

According to the Google sources SB2099 is totally bogus. Goes back to 2000 and never really happened or was enacted.
Another false alarm.
