Just about everyone who wants to carry, has been carrying concealed and theres been no Wild West Shootouts at Walmart or Target.

I agree wholeheartedly. Just thinking out loud, how many constitutional amendments has our current administration broken and to this point what has been the outcome? I’m not sure so I’ll have to take a break and look. 2nd amendment, yes it does protect this court’s ruling. I agree wholeheartedly.

You took a chance and it paid off for all Floridians. Criminals carry guns freely and the jails have a revolving door for violent offenders. Business owners, of course, have the right to set their rules. Just as I determine who is armed in my home. The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian. Let, therefore, the gun be the companion of your walks. Well done, Stanley. You took a chance and it paid off for all Floridians.

The Constitution lays out the structure of government for The United States of America. It generally says what powers the federal government is allowed or forbidden and what powers the state and local powers are allowed or forbidden. The second article of amendment is special in that it lays out the right of all the people and forbids infringement of that right. It can be inconvenient, unreasonable, expensive, frightening, but it is the supreme law of our nation. No subsequent amendment has been passed to restrict this right. Live with it or change it. Just don't pretend it doesn't apply. “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”.

An excuse for insurance rates to rise. A reason for boycotting businesses that have a policy, which you oppose. The list goes on. At what age might an adult exercise the open carry right? I see a new business opportunity of providing secure lockers for weapons to be placed and locked before entering an establishment. More considerations to ponder.
