In the so-called Gunshine State, home to the most gun permits in the country, firearm violence has fallen to the lowest point on record.
As state and national legislators consider gun control laws in the wake of last month's Connecticut school shooting, Florida finds itself in a gun violence depression. The Firearm-involved violent crime rate has dropped 33 percent between 2007 and 2011, while the number of issued concealed weapons permits rose nearly 90 percent during that time, state records show.
"We're happy to have facts and statistics put into these debates, because every time they do, we win," said Sean Caranna, executive director of Florida Carry Inc., a pro-gun-rights advocacy group.

Who does not posses a Florida carry permit?

:) That's where I got mine. Can't beat it, send in your DD-214, application and check. Plus, if some foul newspaper in NC decides to publish NC CCW owners, I won't be listed.
DeleteGood for you.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind being listed, though. I'm quite certain that I'm in quite a few lists, and I've committed a single crime in my life, sans a parking ticket in Norway.
How many permits do you posses? I've got my MN, Utah, and FL.

Just FL, but it does have a few more states than NC reciprocates with.
