Republican leaders in Florida intend to move legislation that would make it the 26th state to allow individuals to carry concealed loaded guns anywhere without permits.
Florida could soon become the 26th state to allow individuals to carry concealed loaded guns anywhere without permits — a growing trend that has alarmed gun safety groups.
Republican leaders in the Florida Legislature said they intend to introduce and advance such legislation when they convene the coming legislative session on March 7.
Conservatives and gun rights activists have taken to calling the category of legislation “constitutional carry,” even though no provisions in the Constitution explicitly allow for the right to carry concealed, unlicensed weapons. Gun safety and gun control activists, as well as neutral groups, prefer to label the category of legislation “permitless carry.”
Asked whether state Senate President Kathleen Passidomo would help introduce a bill allowing people to carry concealed loaded guns in public without concealed carry permits, a spokesperson replied, “Yes.”
“President Passidomo supports permitless carry legislation,” said the spokesperson, Katy Betta.
Republican state House Speaker Paul Renner also suggested he was planning to move such a proposal through his chamber.
It technically already is
Should be ALL states Mandatory by the Supreme Court !!!! Make all Rules the SAME !!!!!
The thugs and crooks are already carrying without a permit, so it won’t make a whole lot of difference. Once they go before a judge, they get turned right back on the streets anyway.
Make sure they don’t get away with Anything anymore !!!! Real Justice !!!!
Gov Wes Moore’s first agenda item is to make legal concealed carry illegal within 100 ft from public places which makes it worthless.Citizens of Maryland are going to learn the hard way with a completely democrat controlled state.
Dumb A$$ Maryland is still trying to prevent carrying anywhere with new legislation.
Supreme Court OVER-RULES Maryland !!!!! PERIOD
ny tried that and it didnt stand. as for needing his permission? lmmfao! We don need no stinkin permission!
Florida will be a safer place if a bill of this nature is enacted.
I’ve already bought my soon to be born child his first .380 and will have him packing very soon after he begins to walk!! It’s a constitutional right!!
