'A God-given right': Florida House loads permitless gun carry bill into the Senate chamber

Permitless carry does away with licenses, background checks and training to carry guns into most public places. It's the law in 25 other states.

The GOP-controlled Florida legislature is considering a law to make it easier for psychos to run around the state with guns. 

Gun rights advocates passed a major milestone Friday in their drive to get a permitless carry bill to Gov. Ron DeSantis for his signature.

The Florida House approved HB 543 on a mostly party line 76–32 vote, with one Republican, Rep. Vicki Lopez of Miami voting with 31 Democrats in opposition.

The measure, and its Senate companion, SB 150, does away with background checks, training, and fees for a concealed-carry weapons license. The Department of Agriculture has issued more than 2.66 million CWLs.

“This bill simply allows Floridians to conceal carry without red tape and expense. Florida will not come between you and your freedom to protect yourself anymore,” said Rep. Chuck Brannon, R-Macclenny, who has sponsored the measure the past two sessions.

So the same week as the tragedy in Nashville, Ron DeSantis’s rubber stamp legislature wants to make it easier to conceal guns than to conceal books about real US history.

March for Our Lives, a gun regulations group formed after the Parkland shooting, demonstrated against both bills Thursday in Tallahassee.

David Hogg, a Parkland survivor who emerged as a student spokesman after a gunman turned the school's hallways and classrooms into a killing field, blamed DeSantis' political ambitions for this year’s effort to loosen gun regulations.

“DeSantis and his billionaire backers are willing to hand over our lives for whoever will fund his campaign, even if the cost is Floridian blood,” he said.

As I like to remind readers, it’s necessary to keep an eye on your state government – particularly the legislature. A lot of MAGA mischief can go on in the legislature which people don’t find out about until it’s too late.

The first step is to discover who exactly represents you in your legislature.
