DeSantis signs bill allowing Florida residents to carry concealed guns without a permit
Florida residents will be able to carry concealed guns without a permit under a bill signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Florida residents will be able to carry concealed guns without a permit under a bill signed into law on Monday by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The law, which goes into effect on July 1, means that anyone who can legally own a gun in Florida can carry a concealed gun in public without any training or background check.
"Constitutional Carry is in the books," DeSantis said.
A White House spokesperson slammed DeSantis, who signed the bill into law just days after the school shooting in Nashville. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called it "shameful"
"This is the opposite of commonsense gun safety," Jean-Pierre said. "The people of Florida — who have paid a steep price for state and Congressional inaction on guns from Parkland to Pulse Nightclub to Pine Hills — deserve better."
