Me too.

In response to your question about tasers and mace: Here is the direct quote from the Florida State Statutes
790.01 Carrying concealed weapons.
4) It is not a violation of this section for a person to carry for purposes of lawful self-defense, in a concealed manner:
a) A self-defense chemical spray.
b) A nonlethal stun gun or dart-firing stun gun or other nonlethal electric weapon or device that is designed solely for defensive purposes.
When you go to a store that sells these items they will tell you what you can purchase and how it can be used.

You can find these laws by looking at www.flsenate.gov/statutes. When you get to that web site choose the chapter on CRIMES, then select the topic of your interest.

Thank you for asking a very important question.

Thank you for answering. =) It is appreciated.

Thank you LCSO Rep. :-)

I would implore everyone to just go get the concealed weapons permit, then you can carry all kinds of deadly stuff. Knives, guns, clubs.... whatever floats your boat
