We support the idea that there should be no limitation on the right of a citizen to carry a firearm. However, please know when you can legally use a firearm in self defense. In teaching CCH classes, we would give students a factual scenario (based on cases in which the shooter was charged with murder) and then asked (by show of hands) those who that the shooting legally justified and those who thought it was not. Even after a three hour presentation on the law of self defense, most continued to misunderstand when they could use deadly force. Everyone please teach yourself or take a course in the use of deadly force. You don't want to get it wrong and end up in prison.

I believe that to carry a firearm you should have to take and pass an in-depth course on safety and legal responsibility as well as be able to properly handle Your firearm. Unfortunately that is not the case here in Florida even when you apply for a concealed weapon permit! Florida is a joke but better than nothing. I moved for TN where they take the CWP course very seriously.
I am glad that Florida passed the law!
