In early April, the governor of Florida declared Ron DeSantisHe signed a controversial law Allows carrying concealed firearms without a license.
Law HB 543, which came into force on July 1, provided for this No training is required and no background checks are performed. of the person to bear arms in public.
However, a three-day waiting period and background check are still required for those wishing to purchase a gun from a licensed dealer, although this is not required in private transactions or gun deals.
Back in April 2022, DeSantis had announced he would pass legislation that would allow citizens to carry a firearm without a permit, which he calls “constitutional carry,” referring to the right to carry a firearm discreetly or openly , which grants this Second Amendment.
Republicans and Democrats have had heated debates on this issue. While for the former, the new law is for “public safety” and people with no criminal records should have the right to carry guns and protect themselves, Democrats claim the state will now be more dangerous, claiming there have been numerous shootings in them in schools where young children have died.
