Florida's "lawful carry if encased" law extends, to my personal knowledge, back for over 61 years and we haven't experienced your "shoot out at the OK corral" yet. Pretty good record. During that same time frame, in other jurisdictions there have been mass murders in "gun free zones."

I guess I also did not word my joke very well concerning "shootout at the OK corral" With some of the nuts on the street, things could escalate beyond the typical road rage incident. However, I do not feel any safer in Florida, as opposed to other areas in the country that have gun free zones, because almost anyone in Florida could be packing a gun. I really do not see the cause and effect for mass murders and gun free zones.
