Ban on Concealed Weapons- Tampa/RNC

[Saturation]

I am interested in hearing other's views on this topic.

Basically Tampa (FL) City Commission wants Gov. Scott to impose a 'special events' ban on concealed weapons during the Republican National Convention.

Apparently Gov. Scott fired that response back the same day as receiving the request so he, apparently, knows horsehockey when he sees it.

If that were the case Romney's dinner date Bloomberg would've hooked them all up most rikki-tik.
