The meeting was arranged in response to a series of stories in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel last week exposing problems with the state's handling of gun licenses. The newspaper reviewed permit holders in the first half of 2006 and found more than 1,400 who had active licenses despite having pleaded guilty or no contest to felonies, including six registered sex offenders. Several hundred others had kept their licenses despite open warrants for their arrests, domestic violence restraining orders or convictions for gun-related misdemeanors, such as firing a gun into the air in celebration. I guess these people never heard the term innocent until proven guilty. They want to take our guns from us for simply having a police warrant filed against us. Or a restraining order. God forbid you shoot a gun in the air. Taking our guns away for a speeding ticket would be next.
