Answer 1

That is the way they do things. Do as I say and not as I do. Totally hypocritical.

Answer 2

Florida adopted this law about a year ago, and as a handgun owner, and a conceal carry permit, this law makes me feel a bit more comfortable as a citizen who has his life threatened by some thug who wants to take something that isn't theres. It also makes those thugs think twice about trying to harm you or take your vehicle. I think you will be happy with the new law.

Answer 3

They already have the right to defend themselves with deadly force. The bill he voted against was unnecessary. The only real change was removal of the duty to retreat clause. That clause is only there to prevent murder in the name of self defense, so there is no reason to repeal it. Oh, but that doesn't fit into your neat little story, does it?

Answer 4

Exactly, but isnt that the way the libs operate? Their hypocrisy would never be exposed if it werent for Fox news and "the new media". I support Rep. Miles in his right to defend himself. Even though he's a hypocrite.

Answer 5

Or, you can look at it like this.

He doesn't approve of changing the laws, but he's willing to follow the laws as written.

Answer 6

Yes, he's a hypocrite.

Just like that republican vitter that was seeing prostitites through the dc madam.

no party has a monopoly on hypocrites.
