"South Carolina Enacts Permitless Carry Law: A Hard-Fought Victory"

South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster signed a permitless carry law, making it the 29th state to adopt constitutional carry gun laws. The NRA-backed bill allows eligible citizens 18 and older to carry a firearm in public without a government permit. Critics argue it could lead to increased crime and gun-related deaths, while supporters believe it reinforces the fundamental right to self-defense. The law took effect upon the governor's signature and prohibits carrying firearms in certain locations, such as schools and courthouses.

Florida Governor DeSantis signs permitless concealed carry law.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law that eliminates the requirement for an individual to obtain a permit to carry a concealed firearm, making Florida the 26th state to adopt "constitutional carry" legislation. The law allows eligible citizens 21 years of age and up to carry without asking the government for a permit and without paying a fee. The NRA praised the move, while Democrats and activists argued that easier access to conceal carry would lead to more violence. The law will officially go into effect on July 1, 2023.

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

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.
