"Florida Embraces Permitless Carry, Raising Concerns and Questions"

Florida's new permitless carry law, which goes into effect on Saturday, allows residents to carry concealed weapons without a permit. While some see it as a victory for gun owners, others express concerns about increased gun violence. The law clarifies that certain locations, such as police stations, courthouses, schools, and airports, remain off-limits for carrying firearms. However, the law does not permit open carry, and individuals must still meet age and citizenship requirements, undergo background checks, and present a photo ID when carrying a concealed weapon.
