Man disarmed during beach floatie spat (VIDEO)
This happened on a Destin beach but it just goes to show the type of touron we seem to be catering to in our area. Now you have to watch out for sharks in the water and guns on the beach. This argument was over a freak`n inflatable octopus.
What are our beaches turning into?

You all can take this where you want. I remember not that long ago when there was targeted advertising. I am curious if we still do that or if it is more general in nature. I wonder if some of the change was throwing in with Visit Florida which wasn't necessarily targeting the crowds that many seemed to be accustomed to in SoWal. That being said the folks we have visiting Walton County and especially moving to Sowal do seem to be able to afford living / vacationing here, so maybe it is just a different generation of folks who can afford to visit. That being said, I am glad tourist come here and until there is some other job producing industry that provide jobs to our folks, year round I hope they continue to come.

So what is our plan? Do we stop every car and do a search? How do we pay for it, do we set up road blocks at every every entry point? Is this a year round effort and how many additional folks is it going to require?Bob i think you could figure a way and answer all of the questions. VOTE OUT

Bob i think you could figure a way and answer all of the questions. VOTE OUTI doubt it, but I wasn't having issues with it either. Sometimes I wonder how much thought goes into comments we make. I know I.am guilty, at times, without thinking things all the way through. Other times I think them through and say things just to get a rise and to start a conversation. But that is just me.

All the more reason to have a weapon handy at the beach. One tucked into your trunks and one in the cooler. You never know when you will need to "stand your ground" over a sandcastle. The NRA claims more guns make us safer. Don't you want to be safe?Your sarcasm is idiotic.

Your sarcasm is idiotic.The proliferation of guns in our society is idiotic. People keep voting for the same 2A expansion politicians and then are shocked when weapons suddenly affect their world.

If you have it stored properly no problem if it is loaded and under your seat or in your glove box illegal if you have a concealed carry license for florida and you have it on your person fine i am not looking to stop legally permitted guns just the illegal guns and the illegally transported guns
I think a road block to search vehicles for weapons would pretty quickly be deemed an unreasonable search, which is illegal.

I will bet that the Venezuelans wish that they had a "problem" with proliferation of guns. Look at history. Governments often turn on their citizens.

And all of this has nothing to do with the idiots bringing guns to the beach, both tourons and vendors.
No one needs to bring guns to the beach. Period.
People DO have a right to possess guns.
It all comes down to competency. Our tourists coming here now don't even understand that its inappropriate to urinate in the dunes...
That what we are working with....

I hear you, that blithering buffoon tRump is making us all nervous.Yeah, those 1,000,000+ added jobs and one single $30B investment in Wisconsin

The first half of 2017 has numbers that exactly match the last half of 2016 and the man and his family who make all their products overseas is suddenly a genius American job creator.

That's right. Hate to get off topic, but it amazes me that the Trump cult is totally oblivious to the fact that job growth and stock market appreciation was amazing under Obama. I don't know what rock they were living under.

Almost like our HOA, make all these rules and nobody to enforce them. Unfortunately, I think we`ll see more guns in our area and on the beach.
