TALLAHASSEE, FLA. (WSVN) - The controversial concealed carry bill has passed in the Florida House.
House Bill 543 would allow people to carry concealed firearms without obtaining a gun permit — and without any training.
The legislation passed 76-32.
A similar version of the bill is now up for debate and a vote in the State Senate. The bill does not allow for open carry, a major point of contention among pro-gun advocacy groups.
