As a American veteran I am outraged over the latest news concerning the latest Florida gun promoting legislation, commonly known as the "Warning Shot" bill. I will continue my oppositional rant below after I cool down enough to write rationally.
If I was still working as a high tech consultant and I was offered a job anywhere in the state of Florida I would turn it down flat, even if the pay was $300 per hour and included an extra $50 per hour as combat pay. The recent gun promotion legislation passed in Florida (and soon to be signed by Rick Scott) allows anyone to fire a WARNING SHOT ANYWHERE THEY FEEL THREATENED without any legal or CIVIL repercussions. Additionally the identity of the person who fired the warning shot is automatically expunged from any and all public records. In other words fire a warning shot and you automatically become a "John Doe" to the public record. This legislation is an example of ignorance run wildly amuck. This legislation pays absolutely no attention to the discharged inflight bullet(s) and dismisses any and all liability from the shooter for any subsequent damage the respective bullet(s) may inflict during its flight path in some RANDOM ARBITARAY DIRECTION before it finally comes to rest.
Here is an example that I do not consider to be at all far fetched. Suppose you take your wife and kids to Disney Land, and every one is having a great time. While the family is walking to another amusement your 10 year old daughter suddenly falls to ground with blood flowing from a head wound. Pandemonium breaks out and your daughter is rushed to the hospital where she is later survives but is destined to remain in a vegetative state for the rest of her life due to a critical brain injury. A follow-on investigation determines that the bullet came from a weapon of a "john doe" who reportedly fired a warning shot in some location near the park. Under the new Florida law you are automatically denied any legal redress in this matter whatsoever. I hope this example makes it clear that this law is designed to UNCONDITIONALLY punish the INNOCENT in the most vicious and deadly fashion possible.
When a state conspires to legalize horrific unfair anti-Constitutional law such as this "Warning Shot" legislation, the only sensible remedy is an uncompromising economic boycott of the entire state, both its tourism and its products. International tourists also need to be informed of the dangerous conditions that will exist within the state once this legislation is signed into law. Since those of us who live outside the state of Florida have only the boycott to use as a weapon to force some sense of legal sanity upon Florida's legislators, I say use it and damnit use it well!! Maybe after the states' income revenues experience a significant drop, those NRA campaign checks won't continue to look so attractive to Florida's legislators, and they will seriously start thinking about the repeal process not only for the "Warning Shot" but for "Stand your Ground" also.
