Went to Early Vote today, walked up to the table of Poll folks with my Florida Concealed Carry Permit and my Voter Registration Card Proudly in hand.
The lady was very courteous and when she’d verified that I was Me returned my ID and Voter Card and said, “Thank You for showing your Permit”.
I told her, Permit as much a RIGHT as the RIGHT to Vote.
MY Thanks to ALL of you out there who have and do Serve in OUR USA Armed Forces and those who SERVE us as Our First Responders.
Won’t say who I voted for but I did vote for some Changes.
I like voting on election day and I am proud to show my picture ID.
