Yet here in Florida, and thanks to our wonderful governor, we have gone in the opposite direction of reducing gun violence and the misuse of firearms. Lifting the permit requirement for concealed carry of a firearm is a huge mistake and will only contribute to more injuries snd deaths from the hands of uneducated snd untrained firearm owners. The only good thing about the NRA was the promotion of training. Knowing both the law and competence with a firearm is at least one way to minimize firearm related injury. I was formerly an NRA member and instructor but the organization is not what it used to be and is now only a proxy for gun manufacturers. Firearm safety is no longer a priority and constitutional carry scares the hell out of me.
