Regarding the guy who shot the robbers inside the Ocala internet gambling hall - very reckless to start shooting inside the building which had quite a few people in it. If I remember correctly, the robbers got away.

Well, as it turns out, you remember incorrectly.
The guy who was carrying a concealed weapon prevented a robbery, or worse, inside the building. His actions interrupted the felony in progress. Both criminals were shot, and then later arrested.

I think that, had one of the SC victims been carrying and reasonably competent in the use of a firearm, there's no doubt most of the nine dead people would still be alive.
