All of the front line people in the service industry and particularly the public transit workers were much more helpful and friendly than here. I actually nominated Miami-Dade for an award.

Well, you really stepped on your generative organ this time. Guess which state STARTED the liberalization of CCW? Guess which state has the LARGEST NUMBER of citizens carrying concealed handguns? Florida. Yes, I know Scotty. And I know about Jeb Bush. I'm Canadian. I probably know more about Florida than most Floridians. I'm just being honest about our experience in South Beach. The people were kind, and I did not sense any gun culture there. I'm also aware that South Beach is a pretty unique area. That's why they call it a CONCEALED weapon. You were without a doubt in the presence of several people who were armed, and the REASON you felt safe is BECAUSE of Florida's CCW program, which radically reduced street crime, particularly in Miami and its environs. Oh, I could see various crimes taking place right in front of my eyes. But it was the type of community where people walk with their head up and say hello, and don't act like they'll whip out a semi-auto and blow you away if you look at them wrong. |

Again, merely because you did not "sense" something does not mean that guns were all around you. They were. You can bet on it.

Again, merely because you did not "sense" something does not mean that guns were all around you. They were. You can bet on it. The fact that people don't openly display them is merely proof that your "gun culture" appellation is spurious. Gun culture is not about the existence or non-existence of guns. Obviously there tends to be a correlation, but the link is not causal. That's why they call it a CONCEALED weapon. You were without a doubt in the presence of several people who were armed, and the REASON you felt safe is BECAUSE of Florida's CCW program, which radically reduced street crime, particularly in Miami and its environs. Oh, I could see various crimes taking place right in front of my eyes. But it was the type of community where people walk with their head up and say hello, and don't act like they'll whip out a semi-auto and blow you away if you look at them wrong. Hyperbolic amphigory. Perhaps only because you have been a gun nut for so long that you forget what it feels like to live without fear. |
