Florida government
In Florida, hundreds of people got concealed carry licenses who were prohibited by law from doing so.
Update: David says:
None of the people the media is shrieking about are convicted felons.
Seems the convictions were withheld.

And of course the VPC had to chime in. I’m trying very hard not to curse in your blog right now.

I have to say, “So what?”. Yeah, that’s right, so what? The fact that the rate of violent crime in Florida began falling almost immediately after the enactment of concealed carry laws proves what gun rights advocates have always said. Firearms in the hands of the law abiding does more to stop the criminal than any law. Even criminals with a permit to carry must have received the message that a bad actor could get his ass waxed by granny if he didn’t mend his ways.
The proof, even though some prohibited people slipped through the system, the crime rate still fell. And these prohibited persons would have been armed anyway, whether or not they had a permit. The only difference in then and now is that now they know they may not be the only ones in any given location that is armed.
So back to my original question. So what?
