Florida's Controversial Permitless Gun Carry Bill Draws Mixed Reactions.

TL;DR Summary
The Florida House of Representatives has passed a bill that would allow lawful gun owners to carry concealed firearms without a permit or fee. The bill, known as a constitutional carry law, would not change who can and cannot carry a firearm. The bill will now head to the Senate, where it is expected to pass, and then to Republican Governor Ron DeSantis's desk. If signed into law, Florida would become the 26th state to have constitutional carry or permitless carry laws on the books, potentially tipping the U.S. into becoming a constitutional carry-majority nation. Critics argue that easier access to concealed carry will lead to more gun violence.
