Apparently a DeSantis campaign event is banning the attendees from carrying.
Ann Stone appears to be utterly stone deaf with regards to the objections being raised about banning guns from the event.
It would appear that the rules for the governor attending create an illegal situation with regards to the venue.
The cops say and the law says are different things. Again.
Considering that gun owners with carry permits are, by far, the most peaceable and law abiding demographic in the nation, Ron's got very little to fear from someone who's legally carrying.
Yet, it would appear that someone is being paranoid. Again.
It's not a good look for a pro-gun governor to put such restrictions on attendees and for his campaign manager to ghost requests for comment about it.
While I might not vote FOR Suntan Charlie, I can be convinced to stay home and not bother voting.
Gods I am getting sick of this kind of shit.
Especially when I've stood less than a yard away from Bobdole and Phil Graham with a loaded shotgun.
We gun owners are very safe to be among.
Someone should remind the politicians of that before we decide that if we can't be trusted with our guns, they cannot be trusted with our votes.
Though I strongly suspect that this is FDLE and their "only cops should have guns" attitude on display rather than something the governor's office generated.
But I won't know that until his campaign manager breaks silence.
Not only that... if I were a homicidal maniac bent on mass murder... the idea of potentially getting shot by you guys would have me second guessing that venue as well....
ReplyDeleteDoes DeSantis even know about it? A lot of time these kind of boneheaded decisions are made by some underling, or sometimes even forced on them by the venue, etc. Not saying that's what is going on here... but if there's dumbassery sometimes the exact source of it needs to be found. Sometimes then it can be dealt with. The fact that the Campaign Director appears to be slippery on this makes you wonder though how far up the rotten goes.
ReplyDeleteSeriously... as far as committing violent crimes licensed carry permit holders as a group are less likely to be convicted of such than such other groups... like law enforcement officers and even pastors (including priests, ministers, rabbis, imams, etc). Not the people that need to be worried about.
i get it but i don't...of course they don't ask you who you are voting for when you walk in so some very lefty lefts could try to do the unthinkable...but damn, pro-gun but f-you is what they are saying...panzer guy
ReplyDeleteWell, our former president Donald Trump has a scheduled campaign rally in Robstown Texas (adjacent to Corpus Christi) this weekend. The same venue also has a gun show (!!!) at the same time. According to the Trump web site, one of the items listed as 'You Shall Not Pass' into the rally area are firearms. I do get it in his case - would not be surprised at all for one of the Loonie Left to try and take him out. Desantis is hated, but not nearly as much as Trump is to the Left. They have stated the words 'By Any Means Necessary'.

I agree that we gun owners are a very safe, law-abiding bunch. Laws prohibiting us from carrying into certain situations/venues is silly since we've jumped though all the legal hoops and training to obtain our permits. That said, I have no issue going unarmed to an event/place that prohibits firearms.
ReplyDeleteIt's about quality of life. I'm not going to limit my enjoyment of life by staying home because I couldn't pack the gat in certain situations. -Jking
