We've all seen this lovely billboard that the Brady Campaign posted in Florida.
![]() Along with it, came this beautiful ad: ![]() Apparently, the dire warnings of the Brady brain trust over didn't exactly come to fruition. Quote:

Last I recall, the Brady campaign was something like 300K a year under on average, but receive major funding by Bloomberg, and the Mayors against illegal guns group...another one of their fails. But I am going to have to

Obviously the Brady campaign to warn visitors of the armed nervous (itchy trigger fingered) Floridians with guns is to thank for not seeing the streets run red.
BTW, got my non resident FL CCW permit all filled out. Waiting for the finger print card to come in the mail. Last edited by wrdavis; 11-17-2010 at 4:37 AM.. |

I like the top one. I wonder if it lowers the crime rate in the area.
Kind of a reminder for criminals that Florida residents may shoot back if threatened. Thank you Brady.

I'd love to have these signs on all of our borders, that would be a step in the right direction IMHO!

Our signs should be drawn by somebody who knows what a pistol bullet looks like, though.

Anybody ever hear the radio commercials in Alaska about their armed citizens? It's pro gun and warns potential criminals that Alaskans carry guns, and that they will use them. It played every hour when I was there last(06'). That's why they can leave their cars running while in the store and not worry about. People stealing them, etc etc.

I wonder how many criminals decided to vacation in California instead of Florida after seeing these signs??? It would be an interesting stat. if one could figure out how to conduct an accurate poll.

Well thank you brady bunch for warning potential criminals that citizens in Florida are allowed to be armed while they're in a period of a dropping crime rate.
This seems to be sort of similar to some of those radio ads that City Arms has been running for a while, or those cheesy little signs people put up with slogans like "premises protected by S&W security". |

If idiots like Meg Whitman can drop 160 million on a failed campaign, I'm sure there are plenty of other millionaire anti-2A idiots that will drop a few bucks in for a "charitable organization". Meg Whitman probably already did...

Los Angeles, San Jose, Chicago... all have high rates of violent crime.
I wonder how much the criminal lobby has put forth toward electing these officials to office? How much did their campaign coffers get for them to disarm their fellow citizens through legislative means?

I go to Fl all the time to visit my folks. When I go to Walmart I always see people LOC and seen a couple people get out of their car and put their pistol in the concealed holster. Everyone in my parents little town is nice.
A guy my dad worked with had his house broken into when he wasn't there. He called the police the next day they came and took finger prints and a report. Cop told them that they had a few break ins in that area and they might come back. He asked the officer if he was allowed to protect himself with deadly force. The officer said yeah, just wait for them to come back if anything happens call us. The guy waited and sure as **** they came back. He sat by the window that was previously broken and when the first kid came through he took a 12g shot to the chest with rock salt. The rest of the kids took off running leaving the friend behind. Man called the police and said he shot one of them. Cops came down and arrested the kid. Dunno how bad the kid was injured seeing as how rock salt at that close of a distance would prob do some damage, the robberies in the area stopped immediately tho.

I'm pretty sure San Jose does not have a "high rate of violent crime".
A few years back it was the safest big city in the U.S. It just kind of sucks because it's hard to find a decent place to get a sit down meal after about 9:00 pm. It is very dead at night. There are Mexican gang bangers in east San Jose but nothing like what you find a few (20-50) miles north in Fremont and Oakland. |

Let's see what a brady poster would look like for CA.
Maybe we can send this to them. I bet Helmke would be thrilled.. ![]()

Yeah, I don't know whether it still has that status (the continued influx of Viets and illegals has had an impact on the crime rates), but I'm quite sure it's not in the same league as Chicago or LA. In fact, the county sheriff, as part of her justification for denying CCW permits, frequently cites the "safeness" of the county as a reason that people don't "need" to CCW.
