Florida's New Gun Laws: What to Expect on July 1

Starting July 1, Florida residents will be able to carry a concealed firearm without a permit, making it the 26th state to implement permitless carry. However, there are exceptions and rules to follow, including restrictions on carrying in certain locations. While training is not required under the new law, experts strongly recommend it. The legal age to carry a concealed weapon is 21, and individuals with felony convictions or physical impairments preventing safe weapon use are prohibited. Non-residents can also carry concealed weapons in Florida, provided they meet certain criteria.
