Not really politics, but man, there is a huge rush on the Dept of Agriculture here in Florida for CCW's......

Florida struggles with backlog of 95,000 CCW permit requests
Talk about a state agency under the gun. The Miami Herald reports that the state Division of Licensing has a backlog 95,000 applications for concealed carry weapons permits and budget shortfalls are preventing it from keeping up with the spike in demand. As a result, the legislature may consider a midyear budget transfer of nearly $4 million to help ease the situation.

A friend of mine is on day 120 and still waiting and the state law requires issue within 90 days of recieving application. They just approved 60 temp workers to be hired to try to help with the logjam in Tallahassee.

I was at the range last Weds and the AR's are flying off the shelves and ammo is getting harder to come by. If things get too bad, I'm holing up at Jordan or Elderboy's house and I'll bring the MREs.

Just in case, I am hitting the gun show this weekend and seeing what i can stock up on....
