Gun law information readily available

I have been reading up on Florida Senate Bill 234. I suggest all of the people who have been debating this recently do the same. I am an avid and licensed hunter in the state of Florida and part of that privilege is learning the law. Because I am pursuing a concealed carry license, I have done just that. The law states that you must have a concealed carry license to open carry. Anyone visibly carrying will most assuredly be checked by police. So the idea that any student can carry is a ludicrous idea. You will be required to have a concealed permit, and you must be finger printed to have this license, so not everyone will be carrying these weapons. How many of the 50,000 are under 21, which is the legal age for concealed carry?

If women are concerned about being taken advantage of, then do not drink to the point at which you cannot control yourself. That is Safety 101. Guys who complain about free drinks for women? Really? Are you really going to try to hook up with a girl who is going to a club or bar just to get hammered? Doesn’t seem to be where you need to look for women anyway, so why does it matter?
