Currently 1,033,849 people have valid Florida concealed weapons permits in our nation and 909,260 are held by Florida residents. Since the program began in October 1987 a total of 2,372,788 permits have been issued yet only 168 have been revoked for a crime involving the use of a firearm after the license was issued.

From what I understand of the shooting, I feel Zimmerman murdered Martin. However I do support our system of justice and believe that it is superior to trial by the media. Zimmerman will have his day in court and a jury will consider all the evidence and determine his guilt or innocence.
I realize that you are on a mission to ban legal concealed carry in our nation which is fine with me but somewhat like Don Quixote tilting against windmills. I often wonder why you never mention improving and better enforcing laws to stop violent criminals from carrying concealed handguns.
