"(Ron) DeSantis' bill would remove: background checks, instruction, training and oversight."
HB 543 would not eliminate the requirements to get a concealed weapon license in Florida. Those requirements include passing a background check and completing a firearms training class. The bill, however, makes having a license optional, not mandatory. HB 543 will allow people to carry a concealed firearm in public even if they haven’t passed a background check or satisfied all of the license requirements.
