They have given in to the gun grabbers down here in Florida and stopped selling guns of any kind.<BR/><BR/>You can't even get a pellet gun at Walmart in South Florida.<BR/><BR/>I wrote them a "nice" letter informing them of my displeasure with this poor business decision.<BR/><BR/>They could give a rats ass. They gave me some hogshit about how they weren't making enough money from firearm sales in certain areas so that is why they stopped selling them.<BR/><BR/>Florida is a pretty big pro-gun state. I'd like to know how the whole state of Florida doesn't buy enough guns from Walmart for them to make a profit.<BR/><BR/>Sunsabitches.Assrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093506505019819353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-70546957301286758942008-01-13T15:54:00.000-06:002008-01-13T15:54:00.000-06:00LD, thanks for posting the link to the bill.

Could you explain Texas' carry law? When visiting, I see signs in businesses to the effect "It is illegal to carry a concealed weapon on this premises" or something...

If I had my way we wouldn't have any gun laws. The laws don't stop the criminals only law abiding citizens. Anyways HB915 is a big improvement in Georgia's gun laws. If you are interested, you can read about the racist roots of Georgia's gun laws <A HREF="http://www.georgiacarry.org/cms/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/racist-roots-of-ga-gun-laws.pdf" REL="nofollow"> here</A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-4657474148458330482008-01-12T14:29:00.000-06:002008-01-12T14:29:00.000-06:00I don't know if I have this right, but it sounds l...I don't know if I have this right, but it sounds like Bloomberg thought he could say "look at GA not making their gun dealers comply with Federal law."

The reason this was put in here is to stop NYC Mayor Bloomberg's straw purchase squads. A few gun shops here in Georgia were targeted by his thugs, last year. The gun shops and some local legislators, have petitioned BATFEces to prosecute Bloomberg and the straw purchasers, but BATFEces has failed to take any action. Apparently if you or I make a straw purchase, we are dangerous criminals. If a government official abuses his authority and hires some private investigators to make straw purchases, well he is a visionary leader. If you haven't heard about Bloomberg's shenanigans you can read all about them on David Codrea's blog The War On Guns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-47486448963066838962008-01-12T02:16:00.000-06:002008-01-12T02:16:00.000-06:00Doesn't behavior like that ascribed to First Data ...Doesn't behavior like that ascribed to First Data fit the definition of Prior Restraint of Trade?<BR/><BR/>Just asking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-6621937781899499642008-01-11T23:06:00.000-06:002008-01-11T23:06:00.000-06:00Please remember when spending your hard earned mon...Please remember when spending your hard earned money, or sending it anywhere, that First Data is also owner of Western Union Financial Services, which is also your local Western Union.<BR/><BR/>Hit 'em where it hurts, folks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-61504826946921931292008-01-11T22:58:00.000-06:002008-01-11T22:58:00.000-06:00I meant 10 year prison sentence.

So you can't "entice" (I <I>love</I> that word) a dealer to give a gun to someone who isn't shopping for it? I guess so you can't send someone other than the buyer to pick it up for you...which they can't do anyway since they can't sign for you without being guilty of forgery? Am I missing the big deal here?Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604068110452745043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-3098415667350706352008-01-11T22:13:00.000-06:002008-01-11T22:13:00.000-06:00Speaking of Walmart.
