Every day- Every where. Don't take chances. Get a permit and pack the heat.

Some of these guys, they watch way too many TV shows/movies, and this concept that they need to carry a gun around to be cool or tough or whatever...it's pretty ridiculous.

I know American TV and movies focus on guns on nearly every episode of most tv dramas...but for Joe Shmoe to 'pack heat' to visit the beach and do flamingo bird watching or whatever, is just ridiculous.
obviously you haven't lived in miami.

Moderator cut: Trolling/Personal Attacks not allowed

I pack everywhere I go, even before I was a LEO. I'm not about to be a victim to the south florida criminal scum.

I am a bit divided on whether or not a citizen - with a weapons permit - should be allowed to have guns in his own dwelling. Tallrick, I can understand your concern.

How about this? Don't like guns? Don't get one. In the meantime, I will choose to exercise my god-given right to defend myself and my loved ones inside or outside the home.

No you don't.

All the way at the bottom of this statute:

Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes :->2000->Ch0790->Section 25 : Online Sunshine

And then for definitions of "securely encased," near the bottom of this statute:

Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes :->2000->Ch0790->Section 001 : Online Sunshine

Why anyone would think they needed to carry a gun is beyond me. Those people are a danger to themselves and society.
