florida's take your gun to work law starts july 1
does anyone else find it insane that florida lawmakers passed the 'take your gun to work law' and that people will have the ability to leave their gun in their car? do you really want a 'wesley higdom' happening in south florida? do you really want something like that happening to you, or worse, your family?
until they overturn this law (which i can't imagine it'll take very long - and only a few innocent lives will be lost in the process) i've written a guide for those of us who are attempting to make it through the day without a gun…
survival guide for the gunless...
tips to survive the drive…
#1. if someone is tailgating, do not attempt to slow down to ‘teach them a lesson’- there’s a chance you will be shot
#2. if someone is honking, do not attempt to honk back – there’s a chance you will be shot
#3. if the other car is slow to drive when a light turns green, do not attempt to honk – there’s a chance they’ll let slow down to let you pass, and then you will be shot
when you arrive at work…
#1. if there is a dispute over the last parking spot – do not attempt to argue with the other driver – there’s a chance you will be shot
#3. if you know someone leaves their gun in their car – do not park near them, there’s a chance someone has broken into their car, stole their gun and then you will be shot
#2. if you get in an argument with someone – do not proceed to the parking lot with them, there’s a chance they’ll go in the car, grab their gun and then you will be shot
#4. if a cazy-mad-man decides to break into all the cars in the parking lot, steal the guns, then shoot-up your place of work – do not stand near the guy who goes to run to his car to get his gun to be a big hero because then you will be shot in the cross-fire
#5. if the big hero some how manages to make it to his car without being killed, grabs his gun and makes it back into the building - do not stand near the big hero because you will be shot.
instead cower in the corner, dial 9-1-1 and live to tell the story to your kids.

Guns don't kill people.
People kill people.
You won't get it unless you are a sane person who owns a gun.
This is the USA. Why can't I have a gun in MY car at work. It's MY car and MY gun.
What if I want to go to the shooting range after work with my friends?
I have to go all the way home and pick it up? That's insane.
Paranoia is clinical insanity after all.

cavalier... i grew-up around guns. i've shot more guns than i can count. and i agree... people do kill people. it's just now almost anyone can kill anyone, almost anywhere.
this frightens me even more considering florida has some of the most lax gun laws in the
country. what happened, to the principal of a well-regulate militia?
and the real issue i take fault with is that not allowed to take your gun onto your employers propery. you have to leave it in your locked car. now, i don't know about you, but i've had my car broken into 3 times since i've been in south florida. now imagine i had my gun in my glove box. i don't feel more safe... do you?
thanks for the comment :)

As we all know, your Employer's property is not your property.
It's tough to argue that one.
I think that the lax attitude on education and the loss of individual accountability is the problem in the U.S. today.
And guess who has been at the wheel for the last 8 years.
Mr. Education/Accountability.

da lizza,
Pure paranoia... perhaps better directed at doctors (who kill many times more people than guns... in medical "misadventures" and assorted mistakes). It hasn't happened elsewhere and it won't happen in FL. The crazies always ignore restrictions and then have an unencumbered turkey shoot as they have in the past choosing "gun free" zones like schools and workplaces due to their low likelyhood of meeting resistance...
I suggest professional help for your feelings of persecution and perhaps a little more civility in your driving since you seem to fear your bad habbits and aggresive behaviour might get you shot...
