Here is an interesting statistic.....

In Florida 1 out of every 8 adults 21 or older has a concealed carry permit.

I would have expected a sizeable crowd....even before this latest terrorist attack on our own soil.

Compression, you said you bought several items, so I'm guessing that you shop around. Do you find that you can get better prices at the gun shows vs. walking in to a local shop? I've never been confident that I can get the best deal at a show...just wondering what your opinion is.

Over 40 people shot over the weekend in Chicago,a state with some of the toughest gun control. I'll take a stab at it and bet these guns weren't purchased at a gun show!

So what are you saying? It is because of other states and localities with weaker laws? How would you propose to keep criminals from obtaining firearms? How would you propose that we solve the illegal narcotics problem? Similar issues here. Outlawing narcotics has not stopped their usage nor will outlawing gun ownership stop criminals from obtaining them. It will only stop a law abiding person from the ability to protect themselves from harm from said criminal who has obtained a firearm illegally.

The what about other means of harm including knives, hammers, rocks?

What I mean is no matter how strict the laws are, criminals are criminals and will find a way around them.

Just like illegal aliens will find a way around the wall in Trumpnation. Only Trump will waste billions of dollars. Sale logic.
