The problem with the Orlando shooting was it happened in a place that serves mainly alcohol, off limits to those who carry a concealed weapon. Had it happen at one of the squares, a regular restaurant or movie theater here in TV, I think the outcome would of been different. In fact, I always believe that's why we haven't had a mass shooting in Florida until this latest. In the past we've had mass shootings in states with strict gun laws such as California #1 and Connecticut #5.

I think you will find that a lot of your neighbors have had training in the use of a gun. I know in my neighborhood we have a couple of former special services members, a CIA person and several policemen.
