FIRST ON FOX: The U.S. now has a majority of states with constitutional carry laws on the books after Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law Monday that eliminates the requirement for an individual to obtain a permit to carry a concealed firearm.
"The NRA applauds Florida for becoming the 26th state to adopt the vital Constitutional Carry legislation. This NRA-spearheaded initiative empowers Floridians to exercise their Second Amendment rights without undue bureaucratic barriers, affirming the fundamental right to self-defense," NRA-ILA Interim Executive Director Randy Kozuch exclusively told Fox News Digital in a statement.
The Florida Senate voted 27 to 13 last week on the constitutional carry bill, sending the legislation to DeSantis, who signed it into law on Monday morning. There were already 25 states that had permitless or "constitutional carry" laws on the books, meaning Florida tipped the U.S. into becoming a constitutional carry-majority nation.
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 legislation does not change who is eligible to obtain a carry permit, and those who still wish to get a permit may do so under the law.

Establishment RINO.
No sale.
He has actually done something good. And more than once.
That puts him way ahead of Vivek Ramaswamy in my book.
I can see why people like Trump or might prefer Trump to other candidates. Saying that “Meatball DeSimp” is some kind of Soros/Bush sleeper agent though is just ridiculous.
Name another RINO who has done more principled things as governor. Screaming RINO at anyone opposing Trump is silly.
He deserves praise for his role as governor.
Trump knows who his competition is, and I believe that his internecine invective just might catch up with him.
| DeSantis | 2024 |
|---|---|
| MAKE | ORWELL |
| FICTION | AGAIN |
The GOPe snakes are pushing through laws in Florida that the base wants in order to promote DeSantis nationally. If DeSantis is elected to the Presidency not one of the Florida actions will be replicated nationally. The DeSantis campaign is a head fake.

This!
What Trump supporters risk by doing this is that risk DeSantis supporters staying home on Election Day
I plan on voting for whoever wins the Republican nomination most Trump supporters can’t say the same thing
Most Trump supporters think they can ridicule and demean anyone they want and still win the general election
No republican can win without the support of the entire party
Don’t care, not voting for any of them ever again.
The GOP can change or dry up and blow away.
7 of 8 are down with the climate scam.
Get real.
That wasn’t a debate, it was a funeral procession for the old Republican Party.
Yes, he does. And he should stay in that arena. His record of accomplishment in Florida is rock-solid.
His Deep-State backers from the Bush faction have doomed him on a national arena. Bad call on his part to seek their funding and approval.
I will still be voting for Trump. DeSantis is a very distant second choice if Trump is taken out of the election. Vivek is an even more distant choice, if DeSantis is taken out of the election.
If it goes any farther voting won't make any difference at all. Other methods will be required.
he’s done several good things in Florida. this one especially!
as for the presidency, his needless and mindless attacks against President Trump turned me off on him .. he has a character issue even though I applaud some of his performance as gov of fl
You miss the point entirely.
Establishment stooges will never get my vote again. Period.
Supported by the Bushes? No chance in hell.
desanctimonious has nothing to do with the passage of firearm laws in Florida.
The legislature has control of it, and, for instance, has killed open carry when it gets introduced and comes up again.
Up till this past year, they kept killing constitutional carry bills.
If anything, they passed constitutional carry so desantis could look good.
You’d rather the United States run like California than Florida? That’s pretty dumb for a supposed conservative.
He basically fought back after trump crucified him for months. Jesus had it easier.
Neither am I. But celebrate a great victory for freedom.
