Here's a Glock 19 and a Sig Sauer P238, there is probably at least 500 to a 1000 of each right now among the 40,000 homes in TV. Both are very popular and well made handguns that sell for about $600 apiece. Each and every gun has a safety, and that starts between your ears, not with something you hold in your hands.

Florida will soon issue it's 1,000,000 concealed weapons permit. That means 1 in every 18 Floridian is probably carrying a gun legally. I believe that's one of the reasons we don't see events like this in florida.

I think its pretty sad that you can only put three slugs in a shotgun when your hunting deer but you can put a hundred round it a semi-automatic gun for protection. I think the deer are safer than we are.
Hunting deer with a shotgun seems awfully inhumane, I much rather you use a single shot from high powered rifle if you have to kill wildlife. At least the deer would be dead before he even hears the shot. I wonder how many would be hunting if the deer shot back, it seems like it's not a sport if only one side knows they're playing.
