if he'd showed up at my house. No way I'm letting anyone with a gun into my home, unless it's because I've called the police, and I'm a gun owner (for defense only). This is getting way too serious.

Otherwise I wouldn't have let him in...but I asked him about it. He's an independent contractor, and said he had a permit. He had "rights", etc.

Obviously, I got on Angie's list five minutes later and found another bug company. I just don't like the idea of all these folks carrying guns around. I have never carried a gun anywhere except from the gun safe to the range and back.

Actually, I don't hunt or shoot anymore - Florida's just too crowded and I'm not interested. The fishing is nice though.

I told my wife recently, that I may just drop the guns at the next police buy back. I wouldn't sell them to a stranger since they may end up on the street and there are just too many guns around here.

other people may not want him either

done...

I would have asked him to dis-arm, or leave, his choice.

His rights are seriously under scrutiny when he steps onto your property and seriously curtailed when stepping into your house. Public property may be up for discussion or not, but private property is a whole different ball game.

here in Florida our crazy legislature is constantly passing laws to allow guns everywhere. I think we stopped them from allowing guns in schools, but they tried. It's a good question though? I'll try to find out.

This guy is a poster child for "should have the book thrown at him", on general principles and from both sides of the gun control debate. Wonder whether that will happen.

At the minimum assault with a deadly weapon; personally I would go for attempted murder.

While I am pro2A I have no issue with enhanced penalties from crimes involving a gun or dangerously irresponsible behavior.

That's bullshit, but some folks believe it.

yup

... Push the groups farther and farther away from center and common sense.

So when we are done being "extreme", we'll still need a calculator to keep count of the bodies stacking up.

My wife and I live in Florida and are deeply concerned about the use of the stand your ground law by gun humpers to get away with murder. I have met many gun owners that are rational- but the gun humpers are different; they seem sexually excited by the prospect of shooting someone and getting away with it by claiming an imagined threat. And because gun humpers are craven cowards in a never-ending state of absolute terror of president blackenstien- they represent a serious threat to rational. normal folks.
We have decided to let all of our gun-humper acquintances know that they are not allowed to bring guns onto our property. There will be no warnings or discussions about it. If a gun humper brings a gun onto my property we will contact the leo immediately and press illegal weapons possesion charges. My family's safety is more important than a gun humper's fetish.
Does anyone know how many unlawful gun possesion charges it takes before a gun humper loses the right to own said gun?

unless they have permission. With the LEO exception.
