According to news sources, in a speech given near Gainsville, Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis responded to a question about Second Amendment rights. From mainstreetdailynews:
DeSantis also responded to a question on 2nd Amendment rights, saying Florida would pass a constitutional carry before he left office.

“I can’t tell you exactly when, but I’m pretty confident that I will be able to sign ‘constitutional carry’ into law in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said.
“I can’t tell you if it’s going to be next week, six months, but I can tell you that before I am done as Governor, we will have a signature on that bill,” he said.
Governor DeSantis’ explicit promise to pass Constitutional Carry before he leaves office, is a step up from the support he gave to the concept during his call for the special session held on April 19.

I thought Florida already had this.
I wonder if the time is approaching where we might see national reciprocity and/or constitutional carry? Cronyn used to dangle this around to raise funds but was clearly not serious about promoting it. Maybe close and for real 2nd amendment supporters to accomplish? End of the day, the 2nd amendment should be national recognized and respected—just as people don’t have different free speech or religious rights based on the state of residence or state presently in.
What, no training requirement? This will upset some of the experts here.
No I live in Florida and have a concealed carry you have to take a class and submit to fingerprints and a background check before getting your license
“This will upset some of the experts here.”
I’m an RSO here in Colorado. When we have public day at our range we always get people who have never owned a firearm wanting to shoot. It’s a clown circus. I still do not advocate government interference but you WILL be held accountable.
I do think this guy DeSantis is the way forward

Just asking. I prefer concealed carry myself, for a few reasons.
Hi.
I just wanted to say that carrying a Ruger .44 Black Hawk in your pants was difficult.

It isn’t Constitutional Carry if it does not allow open carry. It is just permit-free Infringed Carry.
Constitutional Carry Ping!
