July 1st 2023 Permitless Carry In Florida
By Gregory Kielma
Please know the laws take a class
Dear friends, Gregg Kielma here, In a couple weeks residents living in Florida will be able to carry a concealed weapon or firearm without having a concealed weapons permit or taking the firearms license course.
Gregg Kielma, USCCA Firearms Instructor and FFL says," What could possibly go wrong? Know the laws of brandishing a firearm, using it and the laws. It's a huge responsibility. Don't make a mistake you'll regret forever".
This is due to House Bill 543 also known as Permitless Carry. The new bill will be going into effect on July 1, 2023.
The Fort Myers Police Department wants to remind residents that firearms will still be prohibited in certain places such as schools, colleges, universities, bars, courthouses, etc.
FMPD says the new law does not change who can purchase a firearm or the waiting period to purchase a firearm.
Licensed retailers must complete the appropriate paperwork for the buyer and provide the buyer's information to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
It will then be checked by the National Crime Information Center and the Florida Crime Information Center.
There is a mandatory three-day waiting period between the purchase and delivery of the firearm.
