83. You have every right to be angry about the schools, but it's not the gun owners' doing
Florida schools would still suck if there were no gun permits whatsoever.

I know- I'm the 'beneficiary' of a Florida public education. The schools were generally
bad in the Seventies and worse today. I just lucked out in having gone to high school in
a 'nice' suburb. The district was happy to spend money on the schools in the mostly
white/upscale sections of the county (Palm Beach).
If you were poor and/or African-American, too bad so sad!

The $3.8M has already been paid by the permit applicants. None of it would be
in the general fund if it wasn't for them.
And (as others have pointed out) the state
is actually running a profit from the permit fees.

So, why the hate?
