And in case of they decide to memory-hole their idiocy, I saved a screen capture.
I do need VPC to explain how can we be both racist and push for minorities to be armed in self-defense. Better not, I simply do not have the patience to hear/read contorted philosophical verbiage trying to come up with what they think is reasonable.
They are idiots.

Tacoma is being destroyed by riots.
Seattle is a shithole of drugs, vandalism, and total chaos.
In Redmond, two cops on bicycles detain a guy for going down the street on a skateboard.

They actually put more force into detaining this guy than neighboring cities put into detaining Antfa smashing windows.
This is the other half of the coin that causes good people to turn on the cops.
Not protecting people from actual violent crime is one side, two cops manhandling a guy on a skateboard for jaywalking is the other.
Florida Legislature 2021: SB 498 – Safety of Religious Institutions – Letter sent.
The bill picked up several sponsors, but not yet a companion in the House. Truthfully I am not happy with this bill and I have it tagged as Bad Bill for the reasons I express in the letter sent to Senator Gruters and the co-sponsors.
Hoping I did not screw the pooch too much, but here is what I wrote.
Regarding you proposed bill SB 498 – Safety of Religious Institutions, I would like to suggest a couple of ideas.
First, when it says “a posted policy” I might be wrong, but it reads as if there has to be signage prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons in church and I see a couple of problems.
First, the requirement of non-specified signs regarding size, location and language can cause unintended “traps” for those legally carrying. Also it would be a “camel’s nose under the tent” opportunity for other locations to demand the same which may lead down the road to a reduction where law-abiding Floridians could carry. I believe that keeping it simple and just allowing to carry in all places of worship would be enough.
But if the signage is a must, I would earnestly suggest to change the penalty from a a second degree misdemeanor to a Non-Criminal Violation in the form of a fine not to exceed $200. A second degree misdemeanor is still a too powerful temptation for some to abuse power on what could be a simple mistake on the part of the person carrying a concealed weapon and unfortunately, some prosecutors run away from the pack and may use the statute for less than noble intention as we have seen in the past, thankfully just in uncommon exceptions. After several decades of statistics, Floridians with Concealed Weapons’ Permits are one of the most (if not the most) law abiding citizens of the state. Since its inception, less than half of one percent of all licenses issued have been revoked by any cause or crime and we should not be penalized for simply trying to stay safe while professing our faith.
Thank you for taking the time to read my ideas and I hope they provide a measure of help.
Good luck and God Bless.

Feel free to copy the idea (not copy/paste, you lazy bastards! 🙂 ) and I plan on writing my representative later tonight or tomorrow first thing to see about a companion bill.
I’ll be going over other bills as the week progresses. Join the fun!
And for some stupid reason, I want one.
