PUNTA GORDA, Fla.–Gov. Ron DeSantis vowed on April 29 that Florida will have a Constitutional Carry gun law before the end of his term.
“Constitutional Carry,” sometimes called permitless carry, allows people to carry a weapon without a license or permit. The term was derived from the Second Amendment to the Constitution, which gives citizens the right to bear arms.
“I can’t say if it will be next week or in six months, but before I’m done as governor” it will be signed into law, DeSantis said at a press conference in Levy County.
Pointing out that 25 states have already enacted permitless carry legislation, he said, “We used to be the leader on Second Amendment issues.”
