Bring your vest to the Sunshine State

The Brady Campaign to Control Gun Violence doesn't want you to get a cap busted in your ass next time you visit Disneyworld. That's why they have produced this warning across the world to individuals who may visit Florida. The warning is in response to the "Stand your Ground" or "Shoot First" law, which permits Florida residents to shoot you if you give them the evil eye. Well, there are probably some more details involved, but in short, the NRA loves it, so you should probably watch yourself.



Under the previous law, gun owners had to first attempt to withdraw and avoid a confrontation, and were authorized to shoot the threatening individual inside their home or property. So I guess this new law allows people to instigate confrontations in public and when things get heated, you can legally bust out your piece and unload. I'm sweating bullets just thinking about it (bullets, get it?) . This law seems completely out of control. Floridians can't even count votes, should they be trusted with the right to shoot at will? I'm not sure how I feel about the international scope of the campaign though. I mean every Euro thinks we're a gun crazy country anyways, is it really necessary to rub it in their faces? Either way, approach Mickey Mouse with care, I hear he's strapped, and with the law on his side, I doubt he's afraid to shoot.
