In reply to the discussion: Action put off on guns-in-parks issue [View all]spin
(17,493 posts)54. Your desire to live a world where honest people can't carry firearms...
does not trump my right to obtain a "shall issue" concealed weapons permit from the state of Florida. Depending on where you live, there is an excellent chance that I can legally carry my handgun in your state.
Concealed Carry Reciprocity
PLEASE NOTE: The reciprocity information on this page is ALWAYS CURRENT. The Division of Licensing constantly monitors changing gun laws in other states and attempts to negotiate agreements as the laws in those states allow.

It is important for license holders to understand that when they are traveling in or through another state they are subject to the firearm laws of that state. We have provided links to the state laws or to the licensing authorities' Web page of each of our reciprocity states so that licensees can do the necessary planning and research when preparing to travel.

(1) While Florida's law allows licensees to carry stun guns, knives, and billy clubs in a concealed fashion, the laws in these states allow for concealed carry of handguns or pistols ONLY, NOT WEAPONS IN GENERAL. Florida license holders are prohibited from carrying other types of weapons while in these states.

Of course, you have every right to attempt to change the laws in the state where you live. If you do live in a state that does not allow honest people to carry, that will probably change in the near future.
Question: Do you fear police officers with firearms?

I find it offensive that you put individual gun carrying above public safety.

My desire is to live in a world where nobody carries handguns in public.
