You can't make this **** up.
Wow.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott will allow guns at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, despite pleas from city officials to temporarily ban the state's lenient laws at the politically charged event.
The GOP governor cites the Second Amendment to Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn in a letter obtained by the Tampa Bay Times, arguing, "It is unclear how disarming law-abiding citizens would better protect them from the dangers and threats posed by those who would flout the law.
"It is at just such times that the constitutional right to self-defense is most precious and must be protected from government overreach."
Existing state laws in the Sunshine State allow residents to carry concealed weapons.
