Permitless carry bill passes Florida House, firearm training requirement removed

[onthedarkside]

 

A bill that would let people carry concealed firearms without a permit and without training passed out of the House on Friday, putting the bill just a step away from the governor’s desk.

 

The legislation lets people who are otherwise qualified to purchase and carry a firearm avoid the permitting process to conceal carry their weapon. Rep. Chuck Brannan, R-Macclenny, said the bill was about removing red tape, and that “Florida will not come between you and your freedom to protect yourself anymore.”

 

The legislation passed 76-32.

It's correct.  Previously people were required to have a permit for concealed carry and take a short safety course to get the permit.  Now anyone who can get a gun (not difficult if you have the money) can carry a concealed weapon.  Open carry, openly carrying a gun, is still illegal.  The NRA crowd are outraged about that.
