Florida RINO's Refuse To Amend Pro-Gun Bill In Defiance Of DeSantis

The Republican supermajority in Florida is against legalizing open carry.

Please call the Florida Legislature at (850) 717-5019 & (850) 487-5028
and let them know you want open carry added to the bill.

Even after repeated statements in favor of the law change by Governor
Ron DeSantis this week, the Republicans in Florida's legislative
branch don't seem too keen on adding the legalization of open carry to
their constitutional carry bill.

To make matters worse, Republican leadership is openly dismissive of
the idea of legalizing open carry, something that is legal in 47 other
states. Only Florida, Illinois, and New York have total bans on open
carry.

GOA's Florida State Director, Luis Valdes, brought the debate on open
carry to the forefront this week when he asked Governor DeSantis if he
would support adding open carry to the current constitutional carry
bill, to which the Governor confirmed he would.

In the same statement, DeSantis expressed his doubt about the
Republican Legislature legalizing open carry in the new bill, saying,
"I don't think they're gonna do it."

DeSantis may be correct.

When asked about open carry being added to the current bill, sponsor
Chuck Brannan apathetically stated that the bill "is what it is as
filed," indicating that he has no intention of legalizing open carry.
Senate President Kathleen Passidomo shared similar sentiments with
Rep. Brannan.

Thirty-six years after Janet Reno, as Miami-Dade County State
Attorney, worked to pass a ban on open carry, Republicans are still
working to defend this unconstitutional law.

Now is the chance for Governor DeSantis to demand that the Republican
Supermajority in Florida add open carry to the bill and finally remove
Florida from the company of New York and Illinois on the issue of open
carry.

Gun Owners of America has been working diligently in Florida to not
only pass Constitutional Carry, but get open carry added to the
current bill. It's time to pressure Republican leadership, and we need
your help!

Please call the Florida Legislature at (850) 717-5019 & (850) 487-5028
and let them know you want open carry added to the bill.
