Gun Shy can almost hear the sound of Bloomberg and friends ringing their hands over this one. I am sure their group of whiners will make an appearance here in Florida.

Tallahassee, Florida (Reuters) - Florida Governor Rick
Scott has shot down a request by Tampa's mayor to allow local
authorities to ban guns from the city's downtown during the Republican
National Convention in August. Citing Second Amendment protections in the U.S.
Constitution, Scott told Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn that conventions and
guns have co-existed since the nation's birth and would continue to do
so during the four-day event beginning August 27. "It is unclear how disarming law abiding citizens would
better protect them from the dangers and threats posed by those who
would flout the law," the Republican governor said in a letter on
Tuesday. Local officials need
Scott's permission to enact the temporary restrictions after state
lawmakers last year passed a measure that prohibits local governments
from adopting gun ordinances that are stricter than state law. Florida has some of the most lenient gun laws in the
United States and by some counts leads the nation in gun ownership, with
about 6.5 percent of all adults licensed to carry a concealed weapon,
state records show. New applications for concealed gun permits have quadrupled since 1998.
Did the readers notice that Reuters, a European news agency stated that Florida has the most 'lenient' gun laws in America? Actually, truth be known, Florida has the most 'Constitutional' gun laws in America and New York city aka Bloombergistan or 'gun free paradise' has the most anti-constitutional gun laws in America. Maybe Tampa's democratic mayor would be happier in the 'gun free paradise' of Illinois, from which he hails.
