I have been a promoter of carrying legally.
I am reconsidering that policy in light of the unrelenting crime and attacks.
If the government does not allow national carry and do away with gun free zones I think it may become every American's human right to exercise self protection.
(12)(a) A license issued under this section does not authorize any person to openly carry a handgun or carry a concealed weapon or firearm into:
1. Any place of nuisance as defined in s. 823.05;

3. Any detention facility, prison, or jail;
4. Any courthouse;
5. Any courtroom, except that nothing in this section would preclude a judge from carrying a concealed weapon or determining who will carry a concealed weapon in his or her courtroom;
6. Any polling place;
7. Any meeting of the governing body of a county, public school district, municipality, or special district;
8. Any meeting of the Legislature or a committee thereof;
9. Any school, college, or professional athletic event not related to firearms;
10. Any elementary or secondary school facility or administration building;
11. Any career center; 12. Any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, which portion of the establishment is primarily devoted to such purpose;

The inside of the passenger terminal and sterile area of any airport, provided that no person shall be prohibited from carrying any legal firearm into the terminal, which firearm is encased for shipment for purposes of checking such firearm as baggage to be lawfully transported on any aircraft; or
15. Any place where the carrying of firearms is prohibited by federal law.
(b) A person licensed under this section shall not be prohibited from carrying or storing a firearm in a vehicle for lawful purposes.

(d) Any person who knowingly and willfully violates any provision of this subsection commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
Got curious, so I read a little more. Apparently, in an establishment that is both a bar and a restaurant, you can carry if you're sitting in the restaurant part at a table. But not at the bar.
Unarmed people are shot by someone already in violation of gun laws because they are obeying the laws the shooter is violating and unable to shoot back.
How is arming the victims before the gun-law-violating shooter arrives not the correct solution?

2) It was a gay nightclub. Let's be honest, how many of them would have had a gun regardless of if they were allowed to or not?
I think you'd be surprised.
