I still don't understand why people feel they need to be armed at all times. Clearly, if this man had no gun on him, this wouldn't have happened.
This guy should not have carried his weapon into the theater. The FL laws states that, if an establishment so posts, the carrier must obey. in any event, he should be tried for murder 1.

However, I think the correlation between the need for concealed carry depends on where one lives. In the TV bubble for instance, I see no need. Other towns in Central Florida ... not the same. Agree however Wesley CHapel is a nice place.
