Letter: Two birds with one stone

You know those Truck Nutz that the legislature is talking about outlawing? Why don't we just REQUIRE those people who are leaving their guns in their parked cars at work to shoot them off the pickup trucks when they see them? Wouldn't that take care of the problem without going to all the trouble of passing a law... ? The added benefit is that our friends that "carry" will have extra target practice and will be better shots... -- Jack

Dear Jack: Let's hope the Legislature doesn't hear your suggestion.

GUN Nutz here.
Who would honestly care what someone has locked in their car in a parking lot??
I had 40 employees and never even thought of what they might have in their cars, really.
Just another thing for peaceniks to spin.
I do think in ten years or so, you will see a lot more of the public arming themselves for protection.

what in the world is wrong with my last blog Howard.????????????

Goobye ~~~

Guy: I posted it. The filter is tripping on the word "n--z", which is a commonly used misspelling by folks who try to get around, uh, filters. I put yr comment through manually.

Thanx old pal~~~

Got to get all these bad dreams off my chest in the AM

LOL ... I agree Guy.. What people don't realize is that Florida is tops in Concealed Weapons Permits over any other State. The gun to work thing is for people who have concealed permits. To get the permit they have done back ground checks and is only valid for 4 years at a time.
Its not the concealed permit people one needs to worry about, its the one that buys them outta the trunk of some thug off the street that carries and uses a gun illegally.

About This Blog

ANNOUNCEMENT: WEEKLY LIVE CHAT: Join Howard from noon to 1 p.m. each Tuesday here on TroxBlog for a live online chat about current events in Florida and the Tampa Bay area.

TroxBlog is the blog-home of Howard Troxler, a St. Petersburg Times metro columnist since 1991. His print column normally appears Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays on page 1B.

Born March 19, 1959, in Burlington, N.C., Troxler writes a mix of reporting, analysis, satire and commentary on state and local matters. He considers himself politically unpredictable with libertarian leanings ("I'm for gay marriage WITH gun ownership") but readers routinely conclude he is hopelessly biased against whatever it is they happen to be for. He is married to a woman who has more sense than he does and lives in St. Petersburg.
