Concealed carry in Florida is popular - but there are places you will be arrested if you carry. A prime example is in a bar or bar area of a restaurant. There are signs on the outside door at the Sheriff's stations saying that you - not a police officer- cannot enter with a weapon.
Basically, it seems that so many do not understand what a gun free zone means.

You are correct but most schools have no security. Gun free means there will either be no security or limited sources of a threat to stop you in a public area. I believe most people understand what gun free means. However in some gun free zones its well know that there is no one armed in the area. I believe Georgia now allows you to carry into a bar. There are places that are labelled as gun free which are used by those that don't care and know the law abiding person will be unarmed. Its a hard call as to where to allow and not to allow those with a concealed permit to carry. Even reasonable people fly off the handle occasionally. I do believe that those that have decided to carry a concealed weapon should receive more training then they currently receive. I've always believed that open carry is the real answer to deter an incident. The whole thing about carrying a weapon is to avoid a problem not get into a problem. In Ohio open carry is legal and no permit is required. I agree with the open carry but I do not agree with no permit. If your going to use the presence of a gun to help deter a threat I want to know the person carrying the weapon has had some training. We have to have training to fly a plane or drive a car but I can walk down to the gun shop and purchase a pistol. If I have a CCP I get it immediately, if I don't I get it in three days. No where has anyone asked me if I know how it works or how to handle it.
