Controversy Surrounds Ron DeSantis' Decision to Loosen Gun Laws in Florida.

TL;DR Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a bill that allows Floridians to carry guns without a permit or training, despite opposition from gun safety advocates and a majority of Floridians. The policy, known as permitless carry or "constitutional carry," has been embraced by Republican legislators across the country. However, research suggests that removing the permitting requirement to carry concealed guns may contribute to a rise in violent crime. Critics accuse DeSantis of prioritizing his presidential ambitions over his constituents' safety in a state that has witnessed two of America's deadliest mass shootings.
