You'd be surprised how many people in a state like Florida are carrying guns. I'm not even an anti-gun guy, but having a large segment of the population carrying concealed handguns a day to day basis is just a bad idea.
In Zimmerman's defence, he was advised to get a gun by authorities following a run in with a pit bull:

What's scary is that one isn't suppose to be able to purchase a weapon if they have a restraining order against them or a violent charge on their record.
