HA! Florida's "shoot first" legislation is starting to take a bite
http://news.scotsman.com/international.cfm?id=2014492005#d



T IS Britain's most popular transatlantic holiday destination, attracting more than 1.5 million visitors a year with its sun-drenched beaches, theme parks and wildlife.

But Florida's £30 billion tourism industry is under threat from a campaign launched by a gun-control group which warns visitors they could be killed.

A series of alarming adverts, to be placed in British newspapers, warns potential tourists about a new law allowing gun owners to shoot anyone they believe threatens their safety.

1. It's a truly idiotic law....
Jebbo and the NRA deserve all the fallout they get.

2. I can predict the Republican response:
"We didn't think of that."

Idiots.
