Florida Legislature passes a bill allowing individuals to carry concealed loaded weapons without a permit.

Under the bill, people would need to have on them only a valid ID while carrying a concealed weapon. Failure to do so carries a $25 fine. https://t.co/0otTqZKtLk

The measure scraps the existing requirements for concealed weapons permits, including an extra layer of background checks, licensing and firearms training.

Under current Florida law, people who seek to carry concealed guns in public are required to get a license from the state and must complete such requirements to obtain one. People who are barred from buying or carrying guns under other Florida laws would still not be able to under the new law.

[Half or more states now have constitutional carry as the law, at least for concealed firearms. The only change thus far in their status is a slight drop in revenue from permit fees. — Ed]
