One of the first ‘shall issue’ states, that still hasn’t gone permitless. Amazing when compared to Missouri, Kansas and a few other states who went from no carry, to shall carry, to permitless in relatively short order<\/p>\n
\u2018Constitutional Carry\u2019 Bill Introduced in Florida<\/a><\/p>\n U.S.A.<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013-(AmmoLand.com)-<\/a>\u00a0Florida House Speaker Paul Renner, R-Palm Court, along with sponsors from the House and Senate, introduced HB 543 Monday morning, a \u201cConstitutional Carry\u201d bill that Renner said gets \u201crid of the need for a government permission slip\u201d to carry a concealed handgun.<\/p>\n The lawmakers were accompanied by Hernando County Sheriff Al Nienhuis, president of the Florida Sheriff\u2019s Association, and other Florida Sheriff\u2019s.<\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t operate in a vacuum. What\u2019s happening in our society now is Defund the Police 2.0,\u201d Renner said. \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s ever been a time in my history on earth that we\u2019ve needed the right to keep and bear arms more than now.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey thanked Renner and the bill\u2019s sponsors for the legislation.<\/p>\n \u201cThis bill is an important piece of legislation for our citizens to have the ability to protect themselves. Criminals don\u2019t go get a permit,\u201d Ivey said. \u201cFlorida Sheriffs stand solidly behind this.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Bill sponsor Senator Jay Collins, R-Tampa, an Army Special Forces veteran, described the legislation as a \u201cmonumental moment\u201d and a \u201cmajor breakthrough for our freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMy very first lesson as a Green Beret was that it is incumbent on each of us to leave things better than we found them,\u201d Collins said. \u201cWe will take a monumental step to ensure that government does not interfere with a law-abiding citizen\u2019s ability to protect their family.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Bill sponsor Rep. Chuck Brannan, R-Macclenny, said the bill won\u2019t change \u201cwho can and cannot carry a gun.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPeople don\u2019t have to carry if they don\u2019t want to. This is a constitutional right people have,\u201d Brannan said. \u201cCriminals are getting guns anyway. They don\u2019t care what the law says. We\u2019re only giving law-abiding citizens a simple way to get a firearm. It\u2019s only fitting that citizens of the freest state in the nation be given the right to constitutional carry.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the first ‘shall issue’ states, that still hasn’t gone permitless.
