GIFFORDS Florida State Director Samantha Barrios:
“As a mother of two young children in Florida, I fear for them every day. We do not need people without training or background checks carrying firearms in public. If permitless carry becomes law, arguments will turn into gun fights in our parks and grocery stores. The House took a dangerous step forward today. Floridians must step up and demand their elected officials in the Senate stop this bill.”

This was the excuse given when Concealed Carry was passed in Florida back in the 1980s and pretty much in every state after that when Shall Issue became the norm. Then again when Stand Your ground was enacted and the wails of gloom and doom were loud enough for the heavens to get earplugs.
And we all know none of the old predictions came to fruition and the same will happen to the new predictions. I am starting to believe they have the same writers as the people that want to “save us” from global warming who keep chanting “We only have 5 years to save the world!” every 5 years.
And Moms Demand could not be left behind:
“Governor DeSantis and House Republicans have chosen to make our beaches, restaurants, schools, grocery stores, parks, and everywhere else we go more vulnerable to gun violence, ” said Wendy Malloy, a volunteer with the Florida chapter of Moms Demand Action.
The fact that they’re now forced to DEFEND licensed CCW makes me giggle like a schoolgirl.
There is no new material for them to get. Never really has been. They’re in the wrong.
I can name that tune in 2 notes! … we got permit less carry here in 2013 and it was the same hysteria…. NOW, as an instructor, I believe if you are going to carry, you had better KNOW what the laws are at the very least… I don’t agree with state forced training, BUT I do agree you should go do it for your own protection.We have morons carrying here with zero training. At least we haven’t had any moron incidents yet. Mr Tantiv- THAT is too funny.
“If permitless carry becomes law, arguments will turn into gun fights in our parks and grocery stores”
Of course. I clearly remember those sorts of problems when the other 2 dozen states relaxed their gun restrictions.
