This is terrible and deadly news, John.
Florida state legislators just passed permitless carry and NRA darling Gov. Ron DeSantis will sign it into law as soon as possible. This means that ANYONE can carry a concealed weapon ANYWHERE in Florida.
These lawmakers are blatantly ignoring the will of their constituents – across party lines, 77% of Floridians oppose permitless carry. Lawmakers passed these deadly laws anyway and now the majority of the states in the U.S. exist under permitless carry. If you're one of the majority of Americans who opposes permitless carry, add your name to our urgent petition right now. >>

“This dangerous legislation will only make Florida, a state with a tragic history of mass shootings, even more unsafe. Permitless carry has been proven to increase gun violence, yet they chose to ignore the facts and put the lives of Floridians at risk."
– Kris Brown, Brady President

In Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming, anyone can carry a concealed weapon, anywhere, without a permit.
We have to stop this deadly crusade, John. Far-right lawmakers with extremist interpretations of the Second Amendment will continue to do everything they can to pass these laws – in fact, lawmakers in South Carolina and Nebraska are following Florida’s lead and forcing permitless carry bills through state legislatures.
