First off, Open Carry is NOT Allowed in Florida..., at least NOT yet. There is a Bill before their Florida Legislature to Amend this next Year for Florida Permit Holders.
Secondly, Duke WAS Mad about His Wife having lost Her Job..., just BEFORE Christmas! This is Understandable, Especailly at this Time in The Year and with this Economy.
Duke WAS Standing Up for His Wife, as I am sure any other LOVING Husband would.
Thirdly, Florida has a Very Strict 'Gun-Free School Safety Zone' Law AND a 10-20-LIFE Law.
In Florida, it IS 10 Years in Prison to Pull a Gun for ANY Criminal Purpose, 20 Years in Prison to Shoot the Gun for ANY Criminal Purpose, and LIFE if you Hit another Human Being with the Shot, when Fired during ANY Criminal Purpose, whether said other Person Lives or Dies.
In Florida, it IS a Felony to even have a Firearm in, or within a 1000 Feet of a School.
As you may Imangine, School means ANYTHING that can Construed by Uber-Florida-Liberals as such, even IF North Carolina would NOT consider the Place as a School, including Private Schools AND Home Schools.
Neither Federal Law OR Florida Statute 790.115 Stopped Duke from doing what He did.
In fact, as I said under The Florida Link, NO Statute has EVER Stopped any Violent Florida Criminal, never-has and never-will.
It is time to Face the Facts: Utah, Rhode Island, Alabama, Michigan, California, Delaware, AND New Hampshire ALLOW ALL Law-Abiding Citizens with Permits to Carry Firearms in Schools, Colleges/Universities, and School Boards/Meetings.
It IS Time for The Florida Legislature, The North Carolina General Assembly, and others, to WAKE UP and Follow the Lead of the Aforementioned States concerning this Matter.
The TRUTH is, The 'Gun-Free School Zone' Crap IS just a FACADE, and most Propably always will be..., BUT until This Nation WAKES UP, this Crap will Continue happening.
The Security Guard is a Hero, well..., fine, BUT if ANY Citizen were to Open Fire, then, that Citizen WOULD just be Prisoner No. so-and-so.
I have an Idea..., The North Carolina General Assembly SHOULD REPEAL North Carolina General Statute 14-269.2 OR The North Carolina General Assembly SHOULD Alter General Statute 14-269.2 by Adding (i) to read:
It shall be a Defense to any Violation of this Section that The Person who Possesed ANY Article, Device, Item, or Object Enumerated under (a)(4) of this Section that such Person WAS Licensed under General Statute 14-415.11 in Accordance with Federal Law 18 U.S.C. 922(q)(2)(B)(ii).
[...] ..., Fat Chance, huh!?
