According to DeSantis, the Florida state legislature will get a constitutional carry bill passed, which he will then sign into law.
DeSantis admitted he couldn’t lay out a day-by-day timeframe for this; however, he assured that constitutional carry will stand as the law of the land in Florida before his governorship ends.
Strong momentum for constitutional carry
Depending on when Florida approves constitutional carry, the state could become the 26th to allow its residents to carry firearms without permits.
In general, the rise of gun ownership in America plays a strong role in support for constitutional carry. As crime rises, many folks continue turning to gun ownership for self-protection.
This is especially true, thanks to policies like bail reform, police defunding, and early releases for prisoners. Ultimately, people have no interest in being sitting ducks for criminals to victimize.
DeSantis’ commitment to pass constitutional carry comes as he remains up for re-election. Thus far, the governor has raised more than $100 million for his 2022 gubernatorial campaign.
