You guys need to start posting in here when you're going out to shoot. I'm laid off (again) so I've got plenty of free time lol.

Once I'm convinced you guys aren't a bunch of wack jobs I'd love to invite you over to my buddy's farm. Him and I both have some toys that we play with over there at least a couple times a month. Last year for halloween we got some dollar store zombie masks and some old clothes and put the masks on gourds and pumpkins and made zombie targets. We even got fake blood packets and put them inside their shirts lol. Exploding targets, incendiary tracers, mag dumps... anything goes, except of course, improper gun handling.

RE: Your Feb. 5 article involving concerns expressed by some in the Philadelphia Police Department about Florida's concealed-weapons licensing program.

The article says that a police lieutenant complained that our program is run by civilians - not law-enforcement authorities. As head of the Florida Department of Agriculture Consumer Services, I am a statewide elected official and certified law-enforcement officer, and we employ more than 250 sworn officers in our office of agricultural law enforcement.

Every application we receive for a concealed-weapon license is sent to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and FBI for a criminal-background check to determine if the applicant is qualified to receive such a license.

Since the program's inception in 1987, we have issued 1,704,624 licenses and only 5,308 license holders have committed offenses warranting revocation - a rate of just under a third of 1 percent. What, of course, is impossible to know is how many of the law-abiding citizens who possess such licenses were able to protect themselves, their families and property during the 23 years of the program's existence because they had the right to carry a weapon.

Pennsylvania is one of 33 states with which Florida has a reciprocal agreement, meaning those possessing licenses from those states can legally carry a weapon in Florida, and Florida license holders can carry a gun in those states.

States that enter into the reciprocal program must be satisfied that the states with which they are involved have standards and laws at least as rigorous as their own.

For whatever reason, the city of Philadelphia appears to have adopted standards and screening processes that go beyond Pennsylvania state law, according to your article, including arbitrary assessment by local police of an applicant's "character and reputation."

We have followed the law - and always will - in issuing concealed-weapon licenses to law-abiding citizens and in suspending or revoking licenses of license holders who commit offenses under the law disqualify them from continuing to have that right.
