Movement under way to let Floridians openly tote their guns
Mike Thomas

COMMENTARY

11:43 p.m. EDT, October 20, 2010

So you are walking down Park Avenue, window shopping for all the stuff you once could afford, and suddenly coming down the sidewalk you see three gunslingers.

It's like the Wild West except they're drinking lattes, and instead of six-shooters, they have Glocks clipped to their matching Gucci belts.

Would this bother you?

Well, it could happen because the "open carry'' movement has come to Florida.

. . .

POLL: Guns in the open
The "open carry" movement advocates are pushing legislation in Florida that would let people openly tote their guns. Do you support the move?

Yes. It's a right to carry weapons, so why not display them, which could deter crime.
No. It's bad enough that guns are already prevalent in our society. This just increases the chances that an innocent person is going to get caught in the line of fire.

The disclaimer under the one at the sun-sentinel should read "Results not even freaking close to scientific, because this poll is so unbalanced moveon.org won't touch it with a ten foot pole."

If at first you fail miserably, continue to fail miserably for decades.

Stupid is as stupid does. Did I just Gump the Bradys? I think I get a prize for that.

Should somebody start a poll to determine the

I want it to be a salad made from the printouts of every word I ever wrote here saying Open Carry will never happen in FL....

[sigh] I hate salad.
