DeSantis says Constitutional Carry gun law is coming to FloridaTampa Bay Times, 4/29/2022
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday promised to push for a bill allowing Floridians to carry firearms even if they have not previously taken a training course.
I cant tell you exactly when, but Im pretty confident that I will be able to sign constitutional carry into law in the state of Florida, DeSantis said Friday. The Legislature will get it done. I cant tell you if its going to be next week, six months, but I can tell you that before I am done as governor, we will have a signature on that bill.
The governor made his remarks at an unrelated news conference in Williston.
The term constitutional carry is a name for the policy often used by its supporters, who argue citizens should be able to carry weapons with or without a permit because of the U.S. Constitutions Second Amendment. The policy differs slightly from open carry in which citizens can carry firearms without concealing them. Florida also does not allow open carry.
