Florida Governor DeSantis signs permitless gun carry law amidst controversy.
TL;DR
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a new bill into law allowing Floridians who legally own concealed weapons to carry them in public without a state permit starting on July 1. The law also removes the requirement for training on how to safely carry a concealed weapon. However, it remains illegal to carry a firearm at certain locations, including schools, police stations, and airports. The new law has been criticized by Florida Democrats who accuse DeSantis of prioritizing the NRA's agenda over the safety of Floridians.
