(Katherine) Harris aims to renew (gun) permit
http://www.sptimes.com/2006/05/12/State/Harris_aims_to_renew_.shtml

After getting death threats as secretary of state in the 2000 election, she got a concealed weapons permit.

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris will spend the weekend in the Tampa Bay area where she will take a required class to reinstate a lapsed concealed weapons permit.

Harris, a congresswoman from Longboat Key, received threats when she was secretary of state during the bitter presidential recount in 2000. The threats were investigated by the FBI, and Harris said Thursday they have stopped.

"For me, I just want to have a permit in an overabundance of caution," she said. "I want to go ahead with getting it for practical purposes."

"During the first Bush (presidential) election, people forget how quickly she had all those death threats on her life," Bunting said. "You never know if there's a nut out there."

5. Even the Florida Repub Party thinks Bill Bunting is a nut!
And just for the record, I think he is too.

Somebody leaked a bunch of Republican e-mails to the St. Pete Times last year, and they were refering to him as a nut.

4. Concealed weapons permit?
What about those two unconcealed Howitzers?
(for the record though, I think that moxy and spunk are her two finest assets.)

6. I think your statement is highly inflated
and extremely full of hot air.

I doubt her howitzers would have much firing power.

21. Ya Know....
"Looks Bashing" just seem so...so sophomoric. How about some real discourse on issues, rather than how the bush onetime hack looks like on a horse

If ever there were a case for profiling, this is it.

Quite a team she has.

24. She may be a good shot
But her campaign is definitely shooting blanks.

And what's with all this paranoia? She's hinted a few times about "backstabbers" coming from her own party.

Does she really thing the GOP leadership is out to actually do her physical harm?
