Except that we've heard it all before.

What will happen?

Nothing.
Agree! We should eventually have less crime because the robbers don’t know if you have a gun and they don’t want to be surprised. I suggest the OP move to Chicago where they have the strictest gun laws and we all know the shootings that go on there every day. Chicago isn’t the only city that’s bad, NYC, LA, SF and many others that have strict gun laws that protect the criminals and screw the law abiding citizen

What’s your point? Every stop had always been a potential shooter. This new law doesn’t change that.

Criminals don’t pay attention to laws. If guns were illegal to have only the criminals would have them.

But those cities let criminals run free, at least Florida locks them up. Milwaukee, WI is almost as bad with several shootings a night. You do need a permit to concealed carry. Felons and those under 21 are not allowed to carry a gun. It doesn't seem to stop them, after all criminals don't abide by laws. In Milwaukee, most gun crimes are dropped or pled down. I'd rather take my chances in Florida.

Bullspit. If you were a "career criminal" would you choose to "do business" in a State like Florida? Or, might you feel more at ease someplace with harsh gun laws, like Chicago, New York, St. Louis? Sorry, but the ONLY thing that will deter bad guys with guns is good guys with guns.

You still have a background check to purchase a gun, so not everyone can buy a gun. The “bad” guys already have guns. Most crimes are done with stolen weapons.

Yep.

Proof of that was some years back when permit-to-carry went into effect in Minnesota. Minnesota is super-restrictive in a lot of ways but surprisingly not when it comes to carrying firearms. You can open carry in that state if you have a permit and some did, though my personal opinion is that the ONLY person who needs to know if I am carrying or not is me.

Anyway, there were all the usual doleful predictions about what horrible things were going to be happening once permit-to-carry went into effect. The anti - 2nd. Amendment folks spared no effort in trying to convince other Minnesotans that the street departments of the various Minnesota cities were going to be sweeping up dead bodies on a routine basis every morning. Didn't happen, of course. But one thing that DID happen was that there were a lot of businesses that had signs prominently posted in their windows "Guns Not Allowed On These Premises". They came down right quick when it became apparent that those were the businesses being targeted by the criminals!

Bad guys don't like their victims shooting back.

Statistically, the opposite is true.

Maybe not "no one;" I counted at three posts with that assertion on the last two pages of this thread.

Pathetic response! You a lobbyist for the NRA/Gun industry? There is no truth to what you have stated. Again, Pathetic!

Why is it so scary??? Do you really thing the Bad Guys out there have Carry Permits? People have been carrying guns without permits for a very long time. Nothing will change.
