TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- A gun control group is set to start running ads contending that a new Florida law allowing people to act in self defense without first trying to flee will make it more dangerous to come here.

On Oct. 1, the day the new law takes effect, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence will run ads in newspapers in London, Chicago, Boston and Detroit that contend that visitors will now "face a greater risk of bodily harm in Florida," The Miami Herald reported Friday.

The group will also hand out fliers to arriving passengers at Miami International Airport drawing attention to the law, which passed the Legislature overwhelmingly earlier this year.

The measure says people who are under attack don't have to retreat before responding, but can meet "force with force" as long as they're in a place they legally have a right to be.

Hey there, JB.

Hypothetically speaking: what if I have a daughter and we're at a theme park enjoying ourselves when suddenly we're confronted and attacked by a bunch of thugs. Can I shoot her attacker? Legally speaking, of course. To make it more interesting, they're wielding clubs and knives and I've got my trusty old Desert Eagle Hand Gun fully loaded.

Sure ... you can waste them here now (Oct 1st) ... just be sure you can demonstrate that you are/were ... "in fear of great bodily harm or death" ...

Ha! Nice! Payback time for that mongrel bastage who stole my girlfriend in high school.

Now all I need to do is get him to Florida and get him fired up so that he come's at me.

just make sure that you carry some knives with you, so after shooting them, you place the knives in their hand.. it will be easier for you to be belive when telling that you were affraid of them ...

That's so sweet. Imagine someone surviving an attack and being able to say that they were shot by a dolphin while surfing. That would be so sweet! Ultimate pickup line!

Ever hear how Aubbie tried to pick up Hope the first time?

Greg: [while coughing] Cough. Look over here.
Greg: Excuse me, Hope?
Hope: Yes? What is it, Greg?
Greg: I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants party.
Hope: Excuse me?
Greg: [struggling] The... party. With the... with the pants. Party with pants?
Hope: Greg, are you saying that there's a party in your pants and that I'm invited?
Greg: That's it.
Hope: Did Wingy tell you to say this, Greg?
Greg: No! Yes. He did.
Hope: Okay. No. I don't want to go to a party in your pants.
Greg: Very well. Eden, would you like to go to a party in my pants?
Eden: Sure, Greg!
Greg: All right. Let's go.

KANSAS CITY, KS—As the debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools continues, a new controversy over the science curriculum arose Monday in this embattled Midwestern state. Scientists from the Evangelical Center For Faith-Based Reasoning are now asserting that the long-held "theory of gravity" is flawed, and they have responded to it with a new theory of Intelligent Falling.

"Things fall not because they are acted upon by some gravitational force, but because a higher intelligence, 'God' if you will, is pushing them down," said Gabriel Burdett, who holds degrees in education, applied Scripture, and physics from Oral Roberts University
