We hear much about the continuing exploits of Florida Man. He’s become the object of a lot of well-deserved ridicule around the Intertubes.

Remember, no one needs an AR-15 rifle. Weapons of war like that have no place in a civil society. You might have a hard time convincing a Lithia, Florida woman of that, though. Or her husband.
