FTA; "Democrats immediately responded that the proposal could lead to more gun violence and accidents. They said that the bill supporters call constitutional carry will allow people to buy guns with no training or background checks."

Leave it to the useless idiots to not have a clue!

They can make it so residents dont need a permit in the state, but they will still want to make permits available for reciprocity with other states.

Florida’s tourism industry has been fighting this for years and years, since the days of State Attorney Janet Reno.

Florida GOP leaders want to get rid of gun permits (open carry- no CCW permits)

To borrow from an overused meme...

[rxh4n1]

Could the Democrats be crazy enough to challenge this in Federal court? If so, it could reach the Supreme Court someday. What if the Supremes use this to overturn all permitting laws? Could they?

[George from New England]

If Florida moves this way, will it make it harder for Floridians when they travel to other states. I SAY YES.

Right now it is like 35 states that reciprocate with Florida. That will end for many of them.

Admin Mod...Might have correct this title.
Kindly delete the phrase “open carry” from the parenthetical note in the title.
Thank you!

It appears this bill would NOT be for open carry, rather, it would merely eliminate the requirement for a CCW permit to carry concealed. While I hope we move to open carry, many prefer concealed.

Well...THAT’S a bummer.

a move Democrats argue would make a state with a history of horrific mass shootings less safe.

So these mass shooters are permit holders?

"Democrats immediately responded that the proposal could lead to more gun violence and accidents.

Same argument they made when the permits were first instituted.

will allow people to buy guns with no training or background checks."

What does this have to do with purchases?

[rktman]

That would be in line with the 2nd, uh, you know, the thing. The ones that aren’t absolute. 😏👍

[FreedomPoster]

You can’t buy a gun from a gun dealer without a background check under Federal law. And why should you have to have training to exercise a right? Are there other rights that work like that? I think not!

We call it Constutution Carry in Oklahoma

[Joe Brower]

Funny thing about this is that Florida, which led the way in terms of shall-issue concealed carry and other firearm-friendly policies, is way behind in this regard. I think half the states in the union have Constitutional Carry policies at this point.

Here in Indiana we went to CC back in July. There have been no Ill effects.

Gun grabbers have been screaming “blood in the streets” since 1987 in Florida. They need to come up with a new lie.
Live in Kansas with Constitutional Carry but got the CCW anyway for travel. Family in Virginia and Michigan.

[CapnJack]

Apparently there is one GOP State Senator who heads a committee that is in charge of this area of permitting and absolutely will not allow a bill to come forward for Constitutional Carry.

He needs to go.

[arthurus]

People buy guns with no training or background checks already.

I would like to see Constitutional Carry and also retain the CCW. CCW allows one to take one’s gun o a state that has CCW and reciprocal agreement but not yet Open Carry.

[unclebankster]

Good.

I’m glad to see a group of politicians, in this case Florida Republicans, enhancing the 2nd Amendment instead of trying to abolish it.
