(17,502 posts)33. could be the waiting period
Florida has a three business day waiting period for handguns, which does not apply to CCW holders. In other words, I have to make two trips to the gun shop, your husband and the other two guys take it home the same day.
Because they can? Could have been. I took a CCW class just out of curiosity. Most of the students were former New Yorkers and New Jersey folk who had no clue. They would be no threat to public safety because they couldn't figure out how to load the house revolvers. Is "because I can" a valid reason? It's a free country, why not?
