“I know they said they believe it will save lives but how and what studies show by adding an addition 2 days will save even one life?” said Ryan G. Thomas, owner of Tampa Carry that teaches people safe gun use.
Thomas says studies show “cool-down” periods don’t work and if someone wants to get a gun, they will find a way.
"I just think it’s frustrating, people that obtain a Florida conceal weapons permit are able to bypass the waiting period anyway. So again they can buy a gun and walk out the exact same day," Thomas said

Tampa mom Tiffany Thomas says her husband Ryan G. Thomas will be a guest speaker at one of those rallies, but his message will be a bit different – It’s not guns, but people.
“I went running before church one Sunday morning. As I was rounding a curve I saw a man hiding behind the bushes. As I ran past him, this feeling came over me and I knew.

Thomas’s experience is very similar to those who take the concealed carry classes her husband teaches at Tampa Carry.

Tampa Carry owner Ryan G. Thomas says the opinion written by Stevens has no power.
“If guns are illegal we’re just going to have more Boston Bombings. If guns are illegal more people are going to get stabbed. Crazy people want to do crazy things and they’re going to figure out whatever device or weapon they can to make that happen,” he said.
Mark McGee, taking Thomas’s concealed carry permit class, agrees, “That’s just not going to happen. There are too many people with guns who are going to fight that.”

Thomas, a Tampa gun instructor, who agreed to certify him. “I believe the Second Amendment is a right granted to us by God, and it is not up to me to determine who is allowed to have a firearm for self-defense and who isn’t,” Thomas told me in an interview.
“So as long as Robert can be safe with a gun then of course I would train him.”

Ryan Thomas, the owner of Tampa Carry, says business has been "non-stop" ever since the Parkland shooting.
