DeSantis signs permitless carry into law despite criticism from both sides of gun debate

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed into law a bill that lets people carry guns without a permit and without any training.

John Velleco, executive vice president of Gun Owners of America, said the governor signed the bill Monday morning in the Capitol, in front of a group of about 20 people.

The bill, which will take effect on July 1, has faced attacks on both sides of the gun debate. People from gun safety advocacy groups have said allowing people to carry concealed guns in public without training, and removing an additional background check, will make the public less safe.
