Florida faces a unique and ongoing threat from violent extremism due to its high-density tourism, critical infrastructure, and documented history of terror plots. The author emphasizes that readiness goes far beyond basic marksmanship, requiring stress-tested decision-making, medical skills, and a deep understanding of use-of-force laws. Specific regions like Orlando, Tampa Bay, and South Florida are identified as high-consequence areas where the potential for mass casualties necessitates professionalized security planning. Residents and organizations are encouraged to move past a mindset of denial and adopt comprehensive training standards to effectively handle active threats.
