Should Floridians Carry Guns Without A Permit?
I lived in Indiana before moving to Tampa. Indiana is an open-carry state, which means that you can visibly carry a firearm no matter where you are. There are exceptions. You can’t carry a gun in a bar, or in a school, etc.). To carry, you must first pass a background check and have some firearms training. That’s not the norm across the country, though. Some states and cities have very restrictive gun laws.
It seems that every state in America has a different policy about carrying a gun. Some don’t allow it at all, while others let their residents carry whatever and whenever.
Now, the Sunshine State is on the cusp of making a major change in carry policy. Floridians may soon be able to carry a gun without a permit of any type, if Governor Ron DeSantis gets his way. Current Florida laws do not require any sort of permit to buy or own a gun, but you are required to have a concealed weapon permit to carry a gun in public. The new proposed legislation would allow Florida reidents to openly carry a gun with no permit of any kind. While it seems that the bill will pass easily, there is opposition. Some lawmakers say the law would make the streets less safe, while others say “an armed society is a polite society”.
Regardless of the strong opinions on both sides of the issue, most legislators believe the proposal will pass in the next legislative session. Some say the issue is being rushed along in preparation of an anticipated run for president by Ron DeSantis in 2024. Source: WFLA.com
