According to Students for Concealed Carry (SCC) at Florida State, two students present at the shooting that occurred on 20 November could have stopped the shooting but were disarmed by the current Florida law.

One of the students was wounded during the shooting.   Nathan Scott is a member of SCC at FSU.  In spite of his wound, he was able to warn other students about the shooter.   The other student was a U.S. infantry combat veteran who says he had a clear shot at the shooter.  From the facebook page of SSC at FSU:

This is highlighted by two FSU students, one of whom was a US Army Infantry combat veteran and had a clear shot at the shooter, the other is gunshot victime Nathan Scott who is a member of Students for Concealed Carry at FSU who was able to go and warn other students about the shooter despite his injury.  Both of these individuals, in spite of having the training and skills necessary to end the shooting, were powerless to prevent it due to Florida's laws.

 This helps explain why the poll taken in Florida after the shooting was so completely onesided.   It was 15-1 in favor of more freedom on campus.

Note to idiot liberals: criminals don’t obey laws, making it easier for them to commit crimes makes you complicit in same!
And banning self defense is the same as murdering people yourselves!

I know, I know, the left will never figure that out.

I have no problem admitting that I carried concealed when I was a student at FSU many years ago and the few times I’ve been back since. Having been a bouncer for several years at local bars, I can tell you that Tallahassee is a cesspool outside of Capital Circle and the university proper.
