DeSantis says 'Constitutional Carry' gun law is coming to Florida [View all]
DeSantis says ‘Constitutional Carry’ gun law is coming to FloridaTampa Bay Times, 4/29/2022
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday promised to push for a bill allowing Floridians to carry firearms even if they have not previously taken a training course.
“I can’t tell you exactly when, but I’m pretty confident that I will be able to sign ‘constitutional carry’ into law in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said Friday. “The Legislature will get it done. I can’t tell you if it’s going to be next week, six months, but I can tell you that before I am done as governor, we will have a signature on that bill.”
The governor made his remarks at an unrelated news conference in Williston.
The term “constitutional carry” is a name for the policy often used by its supporters, who argue citizens should be able to carry weapons with or without a permit because of the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment. The policy differs slightly from “open carry” — in which citizens can carry firearms without concealing them. Florida also does not allow open carry.
