And as far a the new Florida law:
Only people who meet existing criteria requirements for a concealed carry permit can carry a gun in public, according to the legislation. That includes things like being a citizen, being over 21, not having a disqualifying felony charge and not having certain misdemeanor domestic violence charges or an injunction.
The bill does not alter who can and cannot purchase a firearm. Existing state and federal laws, including requirements for background checks for gun purchases, still apply.
So, I am little bit confused on your concern. thanks

Set the scene:
Permitless open carry = if you're carrying openly, and not doing anything suspicious at the moment, then no one can question you about it. No one can confront you about it. And - most people wouldn't dare confront you about it.
This means - someone who is about to commit murder will walk among you all, in plain sight, and no one will know until someone is already dead.
New scene:
Open carry NOT permitted = if you're carrying openly, you're breaking the law. The only people who are going to do that, are criminals. They'll stick out like a sore thumb. Very easy to tell which one in the crowd is about to shoot someone, because - they're the ONLY ones carrying those weapons out in the open.
Previous scene: You don't know who is the target, and who is the shooter.
New scene: the shooter is the one with the gun. It's a no-brainer.
That's just ONE example. If you want to know which states have which laws you can check, just like I did. You can even get a nice neat run-down by state on wikipedia, and on various other websites. You can check the NRA (anti-restriction) website, Giffords (anti-gun) website, the ATF (the actual law) website, if you don't like wikipedia.
