TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - The Florida Senate has passed a bill that will force lawmakers to keep their hands off a trust fund that covers the costs of the state's concealed weapons permitting program.

The bill (SB 1158), a top priority for the National Rifle
Association, passed Tuesday. It now goes to the House where a similar measure (HB 651) has cleared committee and awaits floor action.

The Legislature recently has been raiding trust funds, earmarked for specific purposes, to help cover shortfalls in general revenue.

Gov. Charlie Crist vetoed a $6 million raid on the concealed
weapons fund last year. It's financed by fees collected from permit applicants.

The bill passed 31-9, with all the no votes cast by Democrats.

I think they should replace what they stole with welfare money.
