Florida does. I live here.
Carrying firearms in public has already been deemed a state rights issue, so I have no control or interest in how other states manage firearms carry and regulation. I have no plans for living in any other state at this time. However, if and when I do, I will make it a point to learn their laws before I'd carry in public.
The point about the the NRA is a good one. Many people have been so conditioned by media that just the word "NRA" strikes fear. In actuality the NRA does offer a lot of educational opportunities and has for decades. We had firearms training in high school (optional class--just about everybody took it). Additionally the NRA offers the "Eddie Eagle" program, which is the only program I can think of that actually trains young children (preschool and elementary) just what do do if they find a gun. Far better that, than fear of the educator.
