Successful fiction has to resemble reality.

Over 800,000 people have concealed weapons permits in Florida and yet since 1987 (when shall issue concealed carry passed) no scenarios similar to the one you described have occurred.

While I don't support the "T-baggers" I can point out that they caused no problems with the firearms they openly displayed at their gatherings. I will admit that I felt their open display of firearms was both foolish and also didn't help their cause. Of course much of their agenda is foolish and misguided.

But as dripping sarcasm if that was what you intended, I would find your post humorous and appropriate.
