LINKS: Effort Underway in Florida To Allow Gun Owners to Pack Heat in Public

This comes just a day after the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down the handgun ban in D.C.
Friday, June 27, 2008

A day after the U.S. Supreme Court shoots down the handgun ban in D.C., a move is on here in Florida to allow residents to bear and wear their arms.


The support for allowing resident to pack heat in public comes from Mike Stollenwerk of OpenCarry.org.


He tells Dave LaMont on WIOD he sees no reason why you shouldn't be able to sit in Starbucks with your semi-automatic.


He says most states allow open carry.


Florida did until 1987.


Critics are concerned about a rise in violence, but Stollenwerk says he believes most criminals use concealed weapons anyway.

Hello Mike & Thanks a Million for all your hard Pro-2nd & OC work.

Awesome! This would be so much help if this works out. I do not feel it is fair nor right, that as a legal law-abiding citizen, I should have to put so much effort into concealing something I am given the right to have and tobear by the consitution.

Open Carrying is a right, just like driving a car with a valid license- it is my right as a citizen of this country. Comparing a driver's license to a right to carry openly, there are rules and boundaries with both, but it is a right.

I signed the petition, I hope this makes continual progress.
