Could Constitutional Carry Reach a Tipping Point?

A new bill proposed by Republican Representative Anthony Sabatini is getting pushback from some Republicans. The bill HB 103 would allow Florida residents 18 years and older to carry a handgun open or concealed without a license in Florida. This is commonly known as Constitutional Carry.

There are currently 21 Constitutional Carry states including Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. If passed, HB 103 would make Florida the 22nd. Alabama could soon be joining them.

It would seem, the desire for more guns in the belts or purses of good guys and gals is gaining in popularity. This shouldn’t surprise anyone after witnessing the devastating riots, looting, arson and violence of 2020 in cities across America by radical left-wing terror groups.

Of course, there will always be pushback on any pro-gun measures by Democrats, but in this case, even some Republicans are trying to thwart the efforts of Representative Sabatini by continuing to make Florida residents acquire a government-issued permission slip to exercise their right.
