Went to the Tax Collector's office October 27th to apply for my CCW. Had my Florida license, my DD-214 and that was it. Sat down at a computer to fill out, I think, 3 pages of questions and name/address/etc... electronically signed it, scanned the DD-214 and clicked submit. Sat down for a picture, paid the fee, and was out.

Got my CCW in the mail on the 1st. Literally less than a week from application to "Here's your CCW, welcome to Florida, enjoy your frankin' FREEDOM!"

That's fast!

Good for you.

Every state should be so easy...in Pa it takes at least 30-60 days after handing in all the paperwork and the $$ fee in person...you have to list 2? People to vouch for your good intentions, mental status and the need for the permit....

It is not as easy as what you just described...

Amendment #2: "...The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

What you just described is 100% infringement and is a violation of our 2nd amendment right. Much like state laws in CA, NY, etc...

IN took about two weeks to receive, but otherwise similar process. I wasn't displeased.

Frankie, let's break down that sentence real quick here. What you have is a prefatory clause, "A well regulated militia....," and an operative clause, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Note that the preface can't stand on its own as a statement, whereas the subject portion of the statement very much can. So it's a really an example of what an armed individual can do as opposed to a restriction against why they should be armed. Without the armed individual, there is no ability to raise a militia, should it be needed.

Not my work, for the record. Simply paraphrased SC interpretation. Makes sense to me though.

SCOTUS is only the ultimate arbiter when the results are acceptable.

Where is Robert?

In my county in California….we infringe! Already ruled unconstitutional.

It is impossible to get a CCW in my county.

If i was staying here I would have applied and then been summarily rejected and sued. Just for fun!

It has. People in NY brought it before the SCOTUS and it was, in fact, ruled unconstitutional.

See if your weak mind can follow along, Tony. I'll type r e a l s l o w.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." There's the entire text. I highlighted the important part.

Now... do you think that requiring a permit is the same as "asking permission"? (This is a softball, pal... spoiler... it is!)

And if our right to own and carry shall not be infringed... don'tcha think making us ask permission to exercise a right is infringement? (another softball, buddy... you got this one!)
