Rest Assured Villagers, at any given time there is a large number of concealed carriers in your immediate area.
Still No Wild West Shoot Outs!
Gotta wonder if those permit numbers in Sumter, Lake and Marion Counties is an accurate representation of the number of people here who actually carry. Florida has reciprocity agreements with a lot of states and if you have a valid permit from one of those states you can legally carry in Florida.

At any rate it looks as if Constitutional Carry in Florida is on track to become law. As I understand it the House Judiciary Committee approved the bill 17-6 and it now goes to the full House for floor discussion. The Governor as I understand it has already indicated that it will get his signature if the Legislature approves it.
