Woman Shot After Man Drops Gun In Store- Man Says He Never Carried Pistol In Public Before

Sixty-seven-year-old Woodrow Monlyn Jr. was arrested in connection with carrying a concealed firearm. He told police he had never carried the .25-caliber pistol in public before and didn't know he needed a permit.

People are living in fear, and so as a by product the number of concealed carry permits have doubled in the last few years here in Florida. It doesn’t matter that this man, who was obviously not of the criminal element had this pistol, because he could have dropped it whether he was licensed to carry concealed or not. Here is the real crux of the matter. Go to a pistol range and just observe what goes on there sometime. What you will see are many people who are extremely unsafe in their handling of a loaded firearm, as well as a large number of people who can’t shoot a tight group on a stationary paper target, even at close range. Heaven help us all if these people ever end up in a close quarter situation in a supermarket full of shoppers where they feel the need to exchange gunfire with an assailant. Many of these people are uninformed about the various type of rounds and their application, so they are carrying a pistol full of ball ammo which skips around so nicely on a tiled concrete floor and block walls. Here is an example of what can happen.
