Concealed Weapons Permits Nearing 1 Million in Florida According to Department of Agriculture and Consumer Aff airs’ Commissioner Adam Putnam, “Florida has 952,415 active permits for concealed weapons and is on pace to surpass the 1 million mark in six weeks to two months.” On Tuesday, July 24, in his Capitol offi ce, Commissioner Putnam spoke out in response to the publicity surrounding the mass shooting at the theater in Aurora, Colorado. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg had called for GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and President Obama to set in place stricter guidelines for gun control in the U.S. Putnam remarked, “Florida has a strong tradition in upholding Second Amendment rights. Th e Florida Legislature has been very clear about that.” “Th ere continues to be an extraordinarily small number of concealed weapons license holders who break the law. For the most part, they are overwhelmingly law-abiding citizens who wish to be given a concealed weapons permit,” said Putnam. Since 1987, Florida has revoked just over 6,000 permits due to criminal off enses and of that only 168 were for gun-related crimes, according to state records. Since 1987, the state has issued 2.26 million permits. In that time, 15,500 applications have been revoked, 5,190 due to prior criminal history. Th e rest were due to incomplete applications. Th e list of registered concealed weapons permits is kept private. Putnam’s offi ce has hired 50 full-time employees to process the applications from a spike in permit applications over the past two years with up to 50,000 permits being issued per month. Th e price for a permit was dropped from $85 to $70 earlier this year by State legislators. — information submitted by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Aff airs Stable Fire in Williston Kills 11 Horses Williston Fire Rescue responded to a reported fi re in County Fire Rescue for assistance, with extra manpower and 70 to assist Williston fi refi ghters still on the scene completing a horse stable in Williston on July 29 at 2:01 a.m..

www.levyjournalonline.com 8A The Levy County Journal Your Locally-Owned County Paper of Record since 1923 August 2, 2012 Gov. Scott Signs Bill Assisting Senior Aff ordable Housing Communities Governor Rick Scott signed CS/HB 249, a new law that exempts Florida’s aff ordable housing communities for seniors from wasteful, duplicative and unnecessary state inspections and licensing fees. Th e bill was sponsored by Rep. Leonard Bembry (D-Greenville). Today there are approximately 298 aff ordable housing communities for seniors in Florida that are fi nanced, insured or subsidized by US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) which serve the extremely low, very low and low income seniors. Because these buildings are subsidized or fi nanced by HUD, they are held to strict federal standards with tight regulations. Th ere is also a state inspection of these buildings conducted by the Division of Hotel and Restaurants of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Th e state inspection is duplicative of the two thorough inspections already being conducted by HUD. Representative Bembry’s bill will result in exempting these aff ordable housing communities from the extra DBPR inspections. “During these extremely challenging economic times, our state must fi nd ways to support the businesses of Florida. One way is to eliminate unnecessary, costly and time-consuming inspections, which are already being performed by other agencies” said Bembry. With a group of supporters watching, the Governor signed CS/HB249 into law. After the bill was signed, several guests were presented with their own signed copy of the law and a pen. Gov.
