Florida Governor DeSantis legalizes permitless concealed carry.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law that allows guns to be carried almost anywhere without a permit, with the exception of airports, courthouses, and other government buildings. Concealed carry permits will no longer be required after July 1. The bill's supporters argue that background checks for concealed carry permits are not substantially different from those for purchasing a gun, and that requiring a permit at an initial cost of roughly $150 amounts to an unnecessary expense. Critics argue that the bill leaves out a key provision, the requirement for a safety course.
