Default Florida’s Permit-less Concealed Carry

The PCC bill passed the Florida Senate this PM, and goes to the Gov’s Office for his signature. DeSantis has already stated that he’ll sign the bill; which will have an effective date of July 1, 2023.

I believe that the vote was @27-12; with one Rino voting against the bill.

Nice! We did this about 2-3 years ago and after all the hoopla and "oh dear the crime will go up" paranoid people out there guess what happened.... not a damn thing. Nobody even knew the difference, and nothing changed except less tracking of law-abiding citizens.

Good job FL!

Good job FL!

Did your bill permit "Open carry?" Ours did not. And all the amendments to add OC to this bill were defeated. OC will not happen in FL in the near future. The retail, hospitality and other related industries are dead set against it... as are most of the legislators. Some people say that it's not "constitutional carry" unless it includes OC.



For me, it really doesn't matter. I'm happy they did it for the sake of those who want it, but I, most likely, won't ever use it. I'll maintain my CWFL. It gets me "reciprocity" with many other states as well as it allows me to take immediate delivery at my FFL. I won't have to wait the 3 addl. days.

Congrats on the new law. Only problem I see is how the Florida boys are going to CC in their Speedos.

Yep, we can carry pretty much anything anytime with very little restriction. However, we can't do anything to create a public panic.

Were pretty much "free"

That's the problem here in FL. Just the sight of an OC'ed weapon without a badge next to it would create a public panic.
