DeSantis makes Florida a "permitless carry" state, sparking controversy.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill that eliminates licensing requirements for Florida residents to carry a concealed firearm in most public places. The law takes effect on July 1, and training and a background check will not be required to carry concealed guns in public. The new law angered both sides of the gun control debate, with critics saying it will cause further bloodshed and death in a nation already plagued by mass shootings. However, the National Rifle Association praised the new law, saying it empowers Floridians to exercise their Second Amendment rights without undue bureaucratic barriers.
