However, France has among the most stringent gun control laws in the world, as does Belgium. This fact did not stop the massacres in those countries, but it did prevent their law-abiding citizens from defending themselves. Florida has among the most liberal gun laws in our nation, yet prohibited guns in the establishment where this tragedy took place. One armed guard outside the building was insufficient to stop the attack. What might have changed if only 10 or 15 of the 300 nightclub patrons, each properly trained and licensed, had been carrying a weapon for self-defense? |

| Florida does not allow CCW in bars or businesses that make more than 50% of income from alcohol. Thus again it was a gun free zone. The cops waited 3 hrs to go in while people bled out and Omar made phone calls and texts. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
