On Tuesday afternoon, the FBI confirmed the motives of the recent shooting attack at Fort Lauderdale Airport in Florida. The assailant, Esteban Santiago, claimed to carry out the attack in the name of the Islamic State.
During Santiago’s bond hearing, FBI special agent Michael Ferlazzo confirmed that he did carry out the attack in the name of the Islamic State, according to CNN. At this point, it is not yet clear if he is linked with the terrorist group or if it was a lone-wolf, IS-inspired attack like dozens of others that have recently taken place (Nice, France, Berlin, Germany, Orlando, FL, etc.).
While Florida is a shall-issue state, all civilian carry is banned in Florida airports.
Which is why Santiago was unable to carry out his attack, and nobody died. Right?
It strikes me that if pro-liberty people keep winning, we are going to find cases where legal carry by non-police officers is legal, but not plausible, and then we are going to have to grapple with what to do about people committing crimes there.
But it will be a good day when that is the problem we have instead of no carry zones.
