If Arizona were ever targeted it would be either Palo Verde Nuclear Plant or a large event.

Unlike in the movies, idk that people with guns would save the day.

Orlando was one of the likely potential targets, it was thought, after 9/11, because of Disney and Universal and the other soft targets there with lots of people.


True that these events can happen anywhere, especially with the lone wolf perpetrators like FL and San Bernardino. A "lone wolf" such as those murderers, can be anywhere. Orchestrated events from abroad happening here? Not as likely.

If I'm not mistaken Palo Verde was also a 9/11 soft target

Is FL as gun friendly? I thought you needed a permit to conceal carry in FL.

There are multiple muslim "cells" in AZ...we are sitting ducks. I don't like guns but currently live in the DC area and went to an Easter function at The White House...they are heavily armed there. I don't want my right to carry when they continue to take freedoms away. Very scary. Assault weapons should be very difficult to get.

Surprisingly, Phoenix is on Isis's "kill list" of US cities.

I will not hesitate to pull out my gun, plus I also refuse to capitalize islam.

State borders really have no bearing in it. We're all equally vulnerable on a domestic level. Obama has made it clear that Islam will need to be accepted. Other countries, like Poland and Hungary, haven't. Seems to be working well for them, too.

Florida laws require a CCW permit to carry in public unless you meet the exceptions below

Open Carry? No No Chapter 790.053, Open carry of firearms is generally banned except open or concealed carry is allowed for without a license under 790.25 for certain protected places and activities. Exceptions include in the home, place of work, hunting, fishing, camping, or while practice shooting and while traveling to and from those activities.
