As we didn't have to be at the airport until 15:00 we said goodbye to Linda at the Casa and headed to the American Police Hall of Fame and Museum, also in Titusville. This turned out to be a gem of a place with much more to see than we had time for. There are displays of guns from many infamous people including the one that killed JFK, and police vehicles through the ages. There is also a 9/11 memorial with debris from the Twin Towers and the aircraft and a list of all the officers who gave their lives that day. For a few dollars more, one could go onto the shooting range and have a go with live ammunition. Our instructor, Chuck, made sure we could hold a weapon and point it in the right direction and then we had to literally sign our lives away and don ear and eye protection. 
Tom and I got through 50 rounds of 9mm ammo while Anne shot 100 rounds of .22, much enjoyed by all three of us. There is also the option to fly in the police helicopter but we didn't have enough time so that will have to wait for the next trip.
