Yep, as is typical, the Democrat mayor wanted to ban guns. The Republican governor said he saw no point in violating people's 2nd Amendment rights. Another instance of the same old story.

If he doesn't run, SOMEONE needs to run. Anyone. At this point, Kinky could win without campaigning.Blindref757 wrote:Jerry Patterson should run for Governor.

Where is a dang good reason to carry a gun at the RNC: http://www.baynews9.com/content/news/ba ... otest.html
Police arrest a protester with a machete strapped to his leg:
Police arrest a protester with a machete strapped to his leg:
My main question though, the danger aside, is a "full-sized" machete like a "high caliber" handgun or one of those high capacity magazines that hold 100 bullets?TAMPA --
A Republican National Convention protestor was arrested while he allegedly carried a machete strapped to his leg, according to deputies.
According to Hillsborough County Sheriff's officials, Jason T. Wilson, of Tallahassee, was arrested as he walked in the RNC Event Zone carrying a "full size" machete.
When deputies approached Wilson, they said he continued to walk away despite orders to stop.
"When deputies caught up to Wilson, he advised he did not have to stop and that he was allowed to carry whatever he wanted," HCSO spokesperson Larry McKinnon said.
When deputies attempted to physically stop him, Wilson allegedly began resisting arrest and was physically restrained.

Perhaps it was an assault machete. It probably had a black handle as well.

Wow, I really like this guy.
"It is unclear how disarming law-abiding citizens would better protect them from the dangers and threats posed by those who would flout the law," Scott wrote in a letter to Mayor Bob Buckhorn. "It is at just such times that the constitutional right to self-defense is most precious and must be protected from government overreach."
He said it perfectly!"Who would obey that law? The good guys," he said. "But the idiot carrying a gun to shoot up a crowd, you think he's going to be deterred? No. All you've done is create a target-rich environment."

Since they are not going to allow CHL'ers to carry inside the convention hall, a "locker" room would be really slick.
