No challenge Palmach, it just that you started your post with "still issues in Florida".
My feeling is the issues are with the gun ranges. I have a real anamosity over the ranges attitude that although 2A rights should be protected which also protects their business that THEY themselves should decide they are above the law.
There is zero legitimate reason that I can think of for gun ranges to require people not to carry. I can understand rules that say 'NO HANDLING OR FIRE OF YOUR CARRY WEAPON' and or have a separate unload / load area for carry weapons, so they can say that they do not have people waving loaded weapons around, but ALL WEAPONS MUST BE UNLOADED INCLUDING CCW is a no carry banner that violates the laws that we and supposedly they have fought so hard to put in place (I include gun shows in this group by the way). If they beleive that CCW is not trained well enough to properly handle their weapons in the shop of the instructors (that is where most of us took our course) then what does that say to the outside world.
If I say OK, the gun range has a right to restrict me, then I also have to say so does Disney, Walmart, Home Depot or any other business, and THAT is what the whole battle is about.
As I said, I understand your points fully.
What I meant by issues is the fact that there has been some incidents at one particular range in the Central Florida area where shooters have been followed home by the BG's. These people have left the range, and either packed their guns away or did not reload when leaving. They have been robbed at their homes of their guns.
The point I was getting across was about being aware. Gun owners, specifically those who are licensed to carry should always operate in the Yellow Zone. I just see too many people with no training that carry and are no better than the unarmed White Zone Sheep.
