LOLO, thanks for standing up and fighting our battles. however I wouldn't recomend it for everyone. you may be 100% in the right but arguing with a man with a gun and a badge likely isn't going to end well, the law is kinda whatever they say it is at the moment, you MAY be able to prove them wrong later, if you are willing and financialy able to go thru the hassle. it's taken time but I try to pick my battles more carefully now and look at: odds of winning and what do I stand to win vs what do I stand to lose.
Agree. I won’t dare argue with them in the field for obvious reasons, and anyone doing that is probably risking too much. Our job is to educate those LE officers and average people that are somehow unaware of the law. The point is, know your FL Statutes, WMA regulations, concealed and open carry regulation and quote them when stopped by the guy. If he is smart, he will at least check. If he is not willing to check, then “see you in court and I’ll prove you wrong”.

LOL, I learned from the best :clap Just kidding. I’m just passionate about what I believe is right. We all should be, and I know all here are passionate as well. We should never fear standing for what is right. I learned that while in the service and is what drives me every day. Just saying.
As a side note, but somehow related topic of standing to what is right and not to argue with idiots. I just came back from Ft. Riley where I spent the holidays with my son. When I got there, he asked me to go with him to a body shop where he left his truck tailgate for painting. The guy was a total #@$%. Took his deposit, did a crappy job and then asked him to pay the remaining portion. My son was disappointed to say the least. After watching them going back and forward for an hour I told my son to stop arguing and pay the guy. You should see their faces. What they both didn’t realized was that by him paying and the guy taking the money and giving him the receipt, they were completing their contract. Needless to say, it took me a couple of calls, a conversation with the post commander, and a threat to have the shop blacklisted by Riley to get our money back as well as the guys signed commitment to pay for what he damaged. Job was completed yesterday to my son’s satisfaction.
I hate ask this. I may sound stupid, but isn't a cwp advertisement to big brother "Hey I got guns" if they ever do get the ban passed the way they would like it?
From what I hear the proposed bill would allow people who own certain rifles and handguns to be grandfathered in provided they meet one of two criteria
1. Jump through a million hoops to be licensed to own it.
2. Allow it to be permanently disabled. (Make it a wall hanger)
None of my guns are registered and most have been bought from friends so if the law passed now nothing red flags me as an owner except a few forum posts. I just think cwp owners might be the first doors they knock on.
Sorry if I sound paranoid
