Gun Licensing Trust Fund Raid

May 21st, 2009 by flanews

If Governor Charlie Crist approves a legislative plan to raid a gun licensing trust fund the state could lose track of who has a conceal carry permit.

The NRA is asking Crist to veto the six million dollar trust fund raid. The money is supposed to keep the conceal-carry database and licensing equipment running. NRA Spokeswoman Marion Hammer said taking money from the fund could force the state to issue licenses without doing background checks.

�The law says they have to issue a license with in 90 days after they receive the application. If you�re computers are down and you can�t do any processing you�re just going to have to start issuing licenses. Now that�s not what any of us want,� said Hammer.

The NRA and the Commissioner of Agriculture are both asking the governor for a veto, partly because demand is way up. The number of requests for conceal-carry licenses has almost double since last year.
