Florida is debating whether to join states like Vermont, Arizona, Maine, New Hampshire, Indiana, Texas, and Utah, and become the 26th state to allow its citizens to carry firearms without a government permit. Since criminals and mass shooters tend to ignore paperwork, the law is a reasonable way to ensure lawful Floridians are able to defend themselves and their communities.
The outrage over the permitless carry bill is, as one expects, already hysterical, emotional, and largely fact-free. Read this column from the perpetually confused Wajahat Ali, who stresses the dangers of permitless carry by pointing to incidents that are wholly unrelated to the prospective law. Or take the Newtown Action Alliance, which argues that “constitutional carry” — the term Second Amendment advocates often use to describe permitless carry — isn’t a real thing because the “constitution didn’t give anyone the right to carry guns publicly without permits, background checks, or training.”

yes it does
Ours too - for the past 230 years.
The irony is that while leftist politicians decry constitutional carry and any carry at all it is mostly their own constituents committing most of the crimes with a firearm.
“yes it does”
The best way to counter any “blood in the streets” argument is to look at the data.
Georgia got it last summer. The violence is in the usual places, perpetrated by the usual people.
Nothing has changed, except for maybe Probate Courts losing out on some money for the permits.

Which is an excellent, valid point.
In 2022, 25 states are Constitutional Carry.
Every state should be a free constitutional carry state. No exceptions.
I don’t ask permission from public “SERVANTS” either.
I will carry where, when, and whatever I choose.
And I have done so already and will continue to do so.
If we are to call ourselves free men, we should damn well act like free men.
