Comments on: Florida Gun Laws: More Restrictions Needed? http://www.myfloridadefenselawyer.com/defenseblog/2008/florida-gun-laws-more-restrictions-needed/ Florida Criminal Defense Lawyers Fri, 13 Aug 2010 12:57:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: dmatson http://www.myfloridadefenselawyer.com/defenseblog/2008/florida-gun-laws-more-restrictions-needed/comment-page-1/#comment-141 dmatson Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:04:17 +0000 http://www.myfloridadefenselawyer.com/defenseblog/?p=28#comment-141 Tommy, Thank you for making such a personal and thoughtful post. I understand that cases like yours do absolutely happen. It's a just a fact that bad things happen, and people get hurt and killed, no matter what the laws. All we can do is try to make the best decision to minimize the tragic results. Your opinion is perfectly reasonable, and I respect that. But many other reasonable people disagree, including most Florida police officers, who are in favor of greater gun restrictions. And I don't think any credible gun restrictions would limit your ability to carry a weapon as a law abiding former officer of the court. But thanks again for commenting, and all the best to you. Tommy,

I resepect your opinion which you have a right to but you are wrong to want to curtail the carry permit laws in Florida. You site an anomaly case to take away proteciton from prosecutors who do not have the same carry rights as police officers when they have retired or left the job. More prosecutors are murdered than police bc we are the ones who point the finger at the Defendant, who may in some of my cases been a rapist murderer, and I have received many threats. All due respect, do not use anomolous situations to get me and my girlfriend murdered. All my best to you, but you do not know the realit - - try dealing with the Outlaws "Jesus forgives Outlaws don't" I wake up with this every day and you want to strip my right (and i served our country in the military also). All blessing to you but you are hurting good people by bringing up these type of anomolies. On the mass killing just about every one was under a psychiatrist care and "medication" these "anit-depressive" drugs should be banned. Don't get me wrong, you are fully entitled to your opinion but without that carry permit I would be dead and my girlfried would be dead - - there is no protection for x-prosecutors unlike cops who have a union etc. All love and light to you and don't take me the wrong way I only wish you all joy and happiness in life - - Tommy as an ex-prosecutor the fact I have a carry permit has saved both my life, and another time my girlfriends life.
