Comments on: Take Your Gun To Work? Two States Say Yes

New Laws In Florida And Georgia Allow People To Take Their Weapons To Work With Them

When the center cannot maintain itself--the country falls apart.

I am a gun owner--to encourage this kind of action, will ensure more deaths as people snap due to the economy and their personal lives--the Government will then claim the right to search all cars at any time due to possible guns and people will continue to get tazed and/or shot as we descend down further into madness. And everyone thought the terrorism and mayhem would come from outside the country. We have met the enemy and he is us.

Now when workers go postal, they can just go out to the parking lot to retrieve their guns to kill their coworkers. (happens every single year in America) LOL

"If there''s a man that''s going to attack me, there''s nothing I can do personally, but if I have a gun, of course I can," Stone said.

Just this month, Georgia and Florida expanded state gun laws. People can now bring guns to work, so long as they leave them in their parked cars, joining gun owners in six other states with similar laws."


Hmmm what is asinine about this? Imagine Stone being accosted while walking to through the parking lot to get to her car (where the gun is locked up) So she is going to say "Just let me get to my car first, Mr. rapist?" LOL

Wild, Wild, West gone South. LOL

I can see both sides and respect them. However, you have to admit that if someone which a firearm who is determined to come into your place of worship, place of employment, shcool or a business with the intent on shooting someone, no one stands a chance on stopping the shootings unless someone who is licensed to carry is availiable at the time to put a stop to the carniage by the individual that is willing to commit suicide after shooting the place up.

Having a few employees with the proper training and permission to carry in the work environment could and would most likely stop a bad situation from being a worse situation.

You can''t be a nut job and get a CHL. Employers, educators and religious leader should allow certain individuals who have CHL''s to carry do so. You never know what is going to walk into your front door and start shooting. If you save one life that''s one more that did not have to die.

Did you actually get past grade school? My 10-yr-old can write better than this.

Ban crime, not my right to protect myself.

There must be thousands of laws describing what I can not do with the firearm I legally carry.

Criminals have full protection under our laws once they have committed a crime.

If I ever had the unfortunate opportunity to fire my firearm to stop a crime against myself, family or other innocent person, I would be in the most devastating financial and criminal trouble trouble of my life. The criminal would on the other hand be protected by a thousand laws.

I have no doubt that I would save myself and family but it makes my doubt if I would intervene to save your son or daughter. I may turn away and let the police draw the chalk outline.

Florida and Georgia are setting prime examples of why this country is turning into what you find on the bottom of your shoes at times. Help decrease the population and fire away!!!! Posted by lugarbow


Why the heck do you think we need to be armed down here? Orlando is not safe. Don''t bring your families down here either. You can blame Bush for the state of the rest of the country.

[lugarbow]

Go ahead and use your guns, these southern biggets deserve it. go ahead and blow each others brains out (if you had any) and don''t forget to give our kids guns to take to school. Florida and Georgia are setting prime examples of why this country is turning into what you find on the bottom of your shoes at times. Help decrease the population and fire away!!!!

Posted by GOP_forever: Miss Stone is wrong, there are many things she can do about it like dressing in Christian appropriate attire like dresses that do not show bare ankles. Also she should not patronize places that dirty women go and she shall be fine.

Oooh those evil bare ANKLES. What planet are you living on? She shouldn''t patronize places dirty women go?? Like to WORK?? To CHURCH?? Maybe GROCERY SHOPPING??

Just remember: When seconds count, the police are MINUTES away.

It is true that violent criminals have a history of being treated leniently by the courts. I see two reasons for this; 1) the drug laws - far too many non-violent drug users are behind bars; 2) 3rd strike laws - far too many triple offending shoplifters are behind bars for 20 years. Both these lead to overcrowded courts and prisons. This leads to the real bad guys getting through the cracks easier. I''d like to see a bring a gun - do 30 years, no parole law nationally - that would lower the rate of violent crime far quicker than locking a kid up for 10 years for smoking dope.

[usclimey]

The reality is this country doesn''''t prosecute violent offenders very harshly. Therefore, the prison door is a revolving one. If you want to be safe in your person, you had better be ready to meet the threat of a violent criminal head on. Criminals are not going to show you mercy, gun control or not.

Actually the NRA does promote paranoia. They make it sound like death awaits around every corner. In reality the chances of getting shot to death, even in this country, are only around 10,000 : 1 on average. I''d bet the average defensive gun owner thinks the odds are much higher than that.

I would also dispute the "Criminals are not going to show you mercy, gun control or not" part of your statement. Stats show only 2 - 3% of violent crime result in a murder - thus, for the most part, I would have to conclude that the vast majority of criminals don''t actually want to kill you. Most of them are not pure sociopaths as the NRA would have you believe.

[cheddarboy82]

yea for guns !!!

[lochlan-2009]

With all the guns around being a deterrent to crime, how come your chances of being shot and killed in the US is 50 - 100 times what they are in Western Europe, Japan, or Australia?

Posted by usclimey

That''s easy. Education (and I don''t mean in gun safety).

[usclimey]

Why. Bill Clinton and the liberals in congress are soft on crime. That is why.

Posted by redbds

Ummmm. In case you hadn''t noticed, Bill hasn''t been president in over 7 years and congress has been a Republican love-fest for longer than that. I do not understand your point.

The issue here is not wheteher or not you can own an firearm for self defense, but whether or not you have the right to take it onto private property. A business is private property. Property owners should have the right to say whether or not they want to allow guns on their property. These laws will definately be overturned in the courts.

"Take Your Gun To Work? Two States Say Yes (Florida And Georgia)"

What do they say about taking your gun to church?

[thetackman-2009]

GOP forever, You have to insult people because you lack statistics to back up your position. What does dressing like a Christian have to do with anything. In the midst of making yourself look like an ***, you must have forgotten about the Amish school shootings. I doubt if they were wearing Jeans and T-Shirts.
