An article in today's Daily Sun stated that the mail order concealed weapon permit industry has flourished in Philadelphia. It seems that even though Philadelphia applicants are rejected for concealed weapon permits in Philly, they can apply in Florida and get the permit by mail order. Pennsylavania and Florida have a reciprocal agreement to respect each other's gun licenses.

Increasingly, Philadelphia police are discovering suspects arrested have Florida concealed weapon permits.

Minor brushes with the law or chracter issues are not considerations for rejecting a permit in Florida. The key is that the applicant has not been convicted of a felony. A cottage industry has sprung up in Philadelphia to ease the application and approval process for obtaining a Florida gun permit.

Kind of gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling that Florida is arming criminals in 31 other states with their lax requirements for concealed gun permits, doesn't it? Basically, you could liken this to "doctor shopping" when addicts go from doctor to doctor to see which Pill Mill will give them their prescription for drugs. Well, the "gun license shopping" ends up in the Gun License Mill - FLORIDA!
