Sheriff Gorda Smith. Please don’t advise people to use wasp spray. With out stupid like real court, the rapist blinded by the spray will win a large lawsuit while in jail. The victim victimized again.

I first want to thank Senator Evers for being a man who understands that WE no
longer live in an America that we grew up in.
Churches were Sacred even to the most hardened criminals, but today that respect has left this great Country !!!
We had the Lords Prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance every morning in Public
School, but some how We lost that reverence to our GOD.
Now, some how, and WE know who has taken Respect away from our Law Enforcement Officers, and they are there to protect US, don’t forget they are our
Friends. GOD BLESS AMERICA- IN GOD WE TRUST.

Please remember that criminals don’t care about gun laws or any other law. It is so easy for them to buy a gun on the streets from one of the gangs, or steal one from someone’s car. The police can’t be everywhere at once to protect people. Sometimes you have to protect yourself.

Dear concerned America,
you are not innocent until proven guilty you are given the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law.
if you kill someone And are found not guilty that doesn’t mean you didn’t do it

Being the NRA nut that I am, I have had a CCP for years. I don’t back the open carry bill per say, but it would be nice to have to prevent a run in with law enforcement because some “there’s a man with a gun” nut happens to notice my weapon. The Second Amendment GUARANTEES the RIGHT to bear arms. It was put into place to protect us from a government, along with the other 9 Bill of Rights. The second protects the other 9 from being taken away. The ones with the CCP are the least of safety concerns to the general public. It’s the ones who are barred by law from owning a firearm that are a major safety concern. Those and others who do not follow the laws are the ones who love the “gun free zones”. A person holding a CCP will not violate the zone to protect the CCP from being taken away. Burden of proof falls to the state……innocent til proven guilty. TAYLOR vs KENTUCKY, 436 U.S. 478, 98 S.

Open carry is not needed “to bolster [one's] manhood.” Most people who rob concealed carry people end up wishing they hadn’t. If the would-be robber knew beforehand that the person (s)he was about to rob had a firearm, then most likely (s)he would not attempt to rob the citizen. More people with open carry firearms, I am CONFIDENT, will result in lower crime rates in the end. Don’t follow your “heart” or the indoctrination the left pushes on us. Research it for yourself and use COMMON SENSE!

“they are only protecting themselves from other who carry. Not the general public and not the many visitors to Fla”

@Kate,

No, I would be carrying to protect myself against the CRIMINALS who would do me harm and have NO RESPECT whatsoever for gun laws. I am one of those who carries with a C&C permit. Most people wouldn’t have a clue that I had a pistol in my purse or pocket. If open carry were passed, I would place it on my hip UNDER my shirt for easy access if needed. I don’t intend to monitor law abiding citizens or visitors to our state for harmful intentions, unless they demonstrate to me that action is needed. Most who C&C are very common sense people. Folks like you make out like we are all rabid animals who must run around waving our guns to feel like something special. You could not be more wrong.
