Florida Police Chiefs Association Statement on
HB 543 / SB 150, Permitless Constitutional Carry
Legislation
“Responsible gun ownership doesn’t begin with the issuance of a government permit. It begins with training in how to safely handle, carry, use, and store a weapon, and it continues with maintaining those competencies while complying with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations. Ultimately, gun safety means that a lawful gun owner who meets the statutory requirements for a concealed weapons permit, whether obtaining one or not, can protect themselves while not compromising the safety of their family, the community, or law enforcement.”
“The Florida Police Chiefs Association supports permitless constitutional carry and looks forward to working with Governor DeSantis and the Florida Legislature on this important issue.”
