The Concealed Weapons Laws And Why You Should Not Be Caught Off-guard

By Larry Kelly


We seem to have folks who want to have gun owners lose their rights to own firearms. There is an anti-gun agenda to keep pushing until that happens. Today, they are starting with assault rifles, tomorrow they will move to go after other guns, making it almost unbearable to own anything that fires a bullet. The concealed weapons laws have been with for years now. Over the years running a think tank, I've been a lot more concerned with other more serious WMD abilities that criminals, terrorists, or humanity haters might develop or currently have the technology and know-how to bring them to fruition - bioweapons for instance - that is really scary stuff, a lot worse than assault weapons. Okay so, let's talk shall we?

The reality is that mostly men will buy a gun. If they want to carry a concealed weapon it will require getting a permit. Today, many citizens are afraid of guns and they don't like violence. It is okay in a movie or in a television program, but not in real life. Nice people don't have to protect themselves, which is what the police are there for. That is the prevailing attitude of the general public. Let the police handle it. Yet some people are still feeling it is important to be purchasing pepper spray for personal protection instead of buying a gun, let alone getting a permit to carry one.

There are three additional policy considerations that are triggered with current state laws requiring waiting periods is the "cooling-off" period established of sufficient duration between the sale of a firearm and delivery valid permits to possess a firearm do not exempt a purchaser from the waiting period transfer of the firearm must not occur until after the required background checks have been completed regardless of any waiting period.

It is pretty straight forward. Assuming that you exist in any of the areas recorded above you should not have the ability to lawfully possess one. Those states moreover convey pretty hardened disciplines assuming that you are gotten with one.

So, if the new gun laws cause you to take action and make a firearms purchase and get some extra ammunition more quickly, then that will be good for you. However, don't let it all distract you from job one: getting food and other supplies readied.

The Florida legislature understands that we are living in a dangerous crazy world, and they do not want their residents to feel like they are not able to protect themselves for fear of legal ramifications. The is why they created a law which gives every person in the state the right to defend themselves by whatever means necessary should they have reason to believe that their life is being threatened.

Only three states, Florida, Illinois, and Texas, prohibit the open carrying of handguns in public. Thirty-five states allow persons to carry handguns in public without a permit, but three of those states require the handgun be unloaded. The remaining twelve states allow for the open carry of handguns but require a valid permit. Most states, however, do have exceptions that prohibit the open carry of handguns in certain places such as schools and school zones, state-owned buildings, courthouses, places where alcohol is served or sold, and on public transportation.

Florida has seen a rise in Justifiable Homicides and Murders that involve a gun. These statistics can mean several things. More people are able to protect themselves, and an increase in murders with a gun does not necessarily mean an increase of murders or that the guns were legal. It is difficult to look at statistics and see exactly what is going on with a state, and many statistics can be used in order to skew the truth.
