Rick McAllister Quotations

The reality is, everybody was just fine before this bill was filed. Nobody was complaining they couldn't take their gun where they wanted to.

I wouldn't trade our economy for any other state's. We seem to be the steady Eddie.

It doesn't stop at Wal-Mart, it's either the right thing to do or it's not. If our country wants to say that health care insurance is a right of every individual in this country, then the government needs to have that debate.

It doesn't stop at Wal-Mart, it's either the right thing to do or it's not.

It depends on the weight of the issue. This issue has become heavier and heavier and heavier to us, so it carries more weight.

We're very pro gun ownership at the Retail Federation. We just don't think they need to come to work. We love the NRA, but we simply have to do everything we can to stop issue form passing.

The problem is the cost of health care is out of control. Most employers would love to be able to do it, but it's becoming more and more difficult because of the skyrocketing cost.

We were talking about the long run. It's way too early to tell.

There's no question that we're going to see continued growth. Tallahassee is still having huge new population shifts, and you're going to see retail follow those shifts.

It's a little worrisome. I'm worried that important issues can get caught up in internal bickering.

It's not really about guns, it's about property rights. It wouldn't make any difference if it was guns or bananas.

It's going to take a little more work.

You will see some inside politics being played in the session. No question about that. Where folks see an opportunity, they will take it.
