I believe, Grady Judd, who is the President of the FSA, is opposed to his brethren on this, and has said so in the past. (from lack of total recall)
Here’s a recent statement from the FSA on HB-209 ‘clarifying’ their position:
Florida Sheriffs Association
March 28 · Edited
We have received correspondence today from several FSA members about some inaccurate information surrounding our position on HB 209 and the Second Amendment.
The Florida Sheriffs Association fully supports the Second Amendment rights of Florida’s citizens, and we affirm our ongoing support for Florida’s citizens to responsibly own firearms.
HB 209 authorizes those *without* concealed weapons permits to carry concealed on their person during a mandatory evacuation order. We believe that citizens that have gone through the concealed weapons permit process have the right to carry concealed and we believe that privilege should be protected for those individuals. If passed, it will be the first time Florida law authorizes someone without a permit to carry concealed.
Florida already has laws in place that authorize ANY lawful gun owner to transport their weapons in a car or public conveyance, therefore this legislation is unnecessary. If you have a concealed weapons permit then you can absolutely carry concealed and we support that. If you do not have a concealed weapons permit you can still take your guns with you in your car or on public transport—as long as they are securely encased and not readily accessible. We support this reasonable application of current law.

They are getting slammed with negative comments following the statement.
