Gun law is a very touchy subject in the US and many a politician has risen or fallen based on his or her stance on it.

During our brief stay in Florida, a law was passed which allowed you to shoot any person (on your property) whom you PERCEIVED to be a threat, with no consequences, no possibility of prosecution, and no questions asked. On the very first day after the law was passed, a Black motorist left his disabled car and walked up to a nearby house in a predominately White neighborhood, to ask if he could use a phone to call AAA (as reported by his passenger/wife). The homeowner came to the door with a shotgun and shot him dead before he could even speak one word. He later claimed he perceived the man as a threat (although the man was well groomed and in a suit and tie) and was never charged.

Here in Georgia, a new extension of the gun law that would allow guns to be carried openly in bars, churches, college campuses, and even up to the boarding areas at airports, has already passed the house and is expected to become law in the next few days. Guns in bars? Gosh, what could go wrong there. Better wrap that Tyros in some Kevlar. You never know when one of those nursing home residents will whip out a muzzle-loader and open up if they don't like what you're playing . A few of you need to be extra careful . JMO.
