"Florida's New Laws: What You Need to Know About Permitless Carry and Immigration Changes"

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw emphasized that permitless carry in Florida, which takes effect on July 1, still comes with restrictions. While individuals can buy and carry a firearm concealed without a permit, they cannot carry it openly in public places such as bars, nightclubs, and schools. The rules on who can own a firearm have not changed, and individuals must still go through a background check and a three-day waiting period when purchasing a gun. Bradshaw urges individuals to seek professional training before purchasing a firearm, especially automatics.
