Gov. Ron DeSantis said he’s aiming to allow Floridians to express their second amendment rights by publically carrying firearms without a permit or without a training course.
It’s known as “constitutional carry.”
He made the political promise while speaking near Gainesville on Friday.
“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.
“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,” he said.
Under current state laws, handgun owners are required to get a license to carry weapons in most public places. In order to get a concealed weapon permit, owners must take a firearms training class.
