TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Floridians will be able to carry concealed guns without a permit under a bill the Legislature is sending to Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
DeSantis, who is preparing a presidential run, has said the issue is one of his priorities.
The Senate passed the bill Thursday on a 27-13 vote.
It will allow anyone who can legally own a gun in Florida to carry one without a permit.
It means training and a background check will not be needed for people to carry concealed guns in public.
The state now has nearly 3 million permit holders.
