Permitless concealed carry comes to Florida

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law on Monday allowing Floridians to conceal carry a firearm without obtaining a permit.

The signage of the new law now means that the majority of U.S. states have constitutional carry laws in place, according to a statement from the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA).

“The NRA applauds Florida for becoming the 26th state to adopt the vital Constitutional Carry legislation,” NRA-ILA Interim Executive Director Randy Kozuch told Fox News. “This NRA-spearheaded initiative empowers Floridians to exercise their Second Amendment rights without undue bureaucratic barriers, affirming the fundamental right to self-defense.”
