And the reason is that the potential criminals knew that many Floridians were armed.
An armed citizenry: One major reason why Hitler didn't--despite everything else--invade Switzerland. Have you studied their citizen militia, both then and now?
We as a nation are still fairly armed, and I think that has, in part, kept us from seeing the kind of localized Islamic terrorist attacks that have occurred in places like Great Britain, which has outlawed owning firearms altogether. Imagine putting a giant, brightly colored "Gun-Free Zone" sticker on your window for all the world to see.

I’ve heard it said that the Swiss are required to be in possession of a firearm. And there are more homicides in one ward in Newark, NJ than in all of Switzerland! Not only did Hitler disarm the civilian population but it was one of the main objectives of the Bolsheviks after the October Revolution.
