...effect Oct. 1, makes Florida one of the easiest states in the Union in which to acquire a gun; eleven other states have similar laws. Moreover, a loophole in the Florida law also enables any resident to carry a handgun without a license as long as it is in plain view...

Jumbo military transports belatedly began ferrying minesweeping helicopters from Norfolk, Va.
