Yes, it's true, but that debate was in 1999.  Times have changed and
there are new members on this list, new ideas to explore, new people
to offend!.

Here's my opinion: go ahead and pass the law, Florida, but make it
absolutely mandatory that the handguns NOT be concealed.  If one
leaves one's home with a handgun, it should be a felony to carry it in
a concealed fashion on one's person; rather, it should be displayed in
a shoulder holster outside the outermost layer of clothing, for all to
see and admire and fear.  Like Don Johnson of the Miami Vice; or like
Steve McGarret of the Five-O, or even Eddie Murphy of the Beverly
Hills; I could go on....

It is in this way that carrying a firearm in public will attain its
maximum deterrent potential and minimize the shedding of blood.
