Navigation Florida becomes the 26th permit-free concealed carry firearm state on July 1
When the state’s new firearm legislation becomes effective on July 1, gun owners will be allowed to carry concealed without a license.
Prior to the passage of HB 543, a background check, a license, and training were required to carry a concealed firearm.
“You can carry in your own home, place of business or employment or in a motor vehicle securely encased,” said David Katz, co-founder of the Firearm Firm and author of Florida Gun Law: Armed and Educated. “You can also carry in a grocery store, a convenience store, and the liquor store.”
