This is what I sent back to Congresswoman Castor's reply,reiterating my initial message.
Thank you for responding in a candid manner. Again, as a retired, disabled Florida law enforcement deputy, my life would be threatened by dangerous people that have my harm at the center of their desires. They have no compunction to obey any laws, are known to be armed, and like to hunt in packs. Limiting my magazine capacity to 10 rounds would
severely handicap me in attempting to defend myself until Tampa Police could respond in sufficient numbers to defend me. I would be obliged to leave my state of residence, of over 50 years to be safe, should those I - by reason of service to my community - have angered. They are angry that I stood between society and anarchy with courage, and faced
them, halting their violent felonies. If they did not hesitate in violence against the public, how eager might they be to come after me, knowing I am limited while they are not.
Thank you again for listening and I trust you will represent me, your humble
constituent.
