[Vision2020] GEORGIA UNVEILS NEW SLOGAN: “WE MAKE FLORIDA LOOK SAFE”

[Paul Rumelhart]

"Comfort zones", which I'm assuming means places where guns are not 
allowed, only work if you surround them with concrete and concertina 
wire and post armed guards at the entrances. Otherwise, you are relying 
on potential mass murderers to respect people's wishes not to be shot by 
people with guns.  At least with competent, trained permit holders 
carrying concealed you have a chance at stopping them.

I would rather not live in a world where our schools are surrounded by 
concrete and concertina wire.  Maybe that's just me.

>> “When Florida passed Stand Your Ground, we knew we were playing

>> Gov. Deal said he hoped that the state’s newly enacted Safe Carry
