Orlando massacre

A friend of mine lived w-a-a-a-ay out in the country. Police response time was 20-30 minutes. Late one night, a truck with three men came up his driveway (about 1/4 mile from the highway). His dogs alerted him, he put his wife and two children in a bedroom, and picked up an SKS (semi-auto rifle used by the VC in Vietnam). He'd installed a 20 round magazine and let off ten rounds in quick succession. The truck hit a tree trying to get away and the men were arrested two towns over. Escapees from a county jail: one a murderer, another armed robbery, and the third sexual assault.

Names of "buddy" and criminals; town, county or state names; day, month and year.

Didn't think so.
 
Agree. In Texas we have a 51% law. If an establishment's income comes from 51% or more from sales of alcohol, then one is not allowed to carry their weapon into the premises.. The business must post a sign stating that it's income is derived from 51% or more of alcohol sales. Don't know what the Florida rule is about that. They might have something similar which would have prevented a LAW ABIDING citizen from taking a gun into the place. This rule probably keeps a club much safer but in this case - sure left those patrons like sitting ducks.

I have a Florida CWL (we call it a Concealed Weapons License) and it is a felony for me to carry my firearm in a bar that serves only alcohol. I can carry in a restaurant like Applebee's, but I can't sit in the bar portion of the restaurant if I am carrying. I can, however, sit in the restaurant portion while carrying and drink to my heart's content. Makes perfect sense, eh?
