USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- A new bill proposed by Republican Representative Anthony Sabatini is getting pushback from some Republicans. The bill HB 103 would allow Florida residents 18 years and older to carry a handgun open or concealed without a license in Florida. This is commonly known as Constitutional Carry.
There are currently 21 Constitutional Carry states including Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. If passed, HB 103 would make Florida the 22nd. Alabama could soon be joining them.
It would seem, the desire for more guns in the belts or purses of good guys and gals is gaining in popularity. This shouldn’t surprise anyone after witnessing the devastating riots, looting, arson and violence of 2020 in cities across America by radical left-wing terror groups. Of course, there will always be pushback on any pro-gun measures by Democrats, but in this case, even some Republicans are trying to thwart the efforts of Representative Sabatini by continuing to make Florida residents acquire a government-issued permission slip to exercise their right.
The bill’s sponsor wrote this on Twitter:
“Meanwhile here in Florida, Anti-2A ‘Republicans’ in the Legislature REFUSE to allow my Constitutional Carry Bill to move forward.”
Sabatini has filed his bill several times since his election to the house in 2018. Matt Collins, Director of Legislation for Florida Gun Rights has been a strong supporter of the bill and is quoted as saying,
“There’s no excuse for the Florida Legislature to delay the passage of HB 103, Constitutional Carry. With Governor DeSantis on board, and self-proclaimed pro-gun Republicans in control of both chambers, law-abiding gun owners in Florida deserve to see their elected officials restore gun-rights in 2022.”
Over 10% of the population in Florida hold concealed carry licenses and with the nickname “The Gunshine State,” it’s safe to say, that should Constitutional Carry pass, that percentage could quickly double and Florida could soon be the safest place on Earth.
Besides the vast support for Constitutional Carry and the typical anti-freedom opposition, there was one interesting thing to note. Florida’s Governor DeSantis seems to be in favor of the bill. In a brief six-second video shared by the National Association for Gun Rights, Governor DeSantis can be heard saying “of course” after being asked if he would support Constitutional Carry in Florida. The video was recorded on December 3rd at a reception at the Governor’s Mansion.
Good luck Florida and Mr. Sabatini. Let’s get that bill to the Governor’s desk.
The 2nd Amendment is not a privilege.
It’s your right.

Constitutional Carry is already the law of the land. It is called the Constitution.
Just because there’s an R after their name doesn’t me they’re conservative.
I like how they included 18-20 year olds. I hope it passes!
Ohio has been trying to get Constitutional Carry since 1995 and not until this year it has made it to the state Senate fot the first time ever. Never made it out of committees until last year.. GOP controls all state branches and still the main fight against it is coming from THE REPUBLICANS. If they get it to DeWine’s desk, I’ll be shocked if he signs it. But like what W.Va. Did with a Democrat Governor at the time, they could over ride his veto. The GOP are totalitarian as the Dems just in different ways.
It already is the law of the land at least according to the Constitution.
It would also be great to see her squished by a steam roller.
An armed society is a polite society. I live in a town noted for its churches and its gun stores. When trouble comes to my little village is drifts in from some of the surrounding “Blue Utopias” like Kalifornia and Las Vegas. Needless to say rude behavior does not prosper here.
I just love this because I can travel to all the surrounding states and carry concealed without a permit . The states I cannot I will not be visiting its that simple . Free states deserve to have people from other states spend thier money there , the rest don’t .
I bet that Criminals all have SECOND THOUGHTS” of commiting any crimes in areas / cities or towns !lmao – that’s is what we need – to combat crime- Is citizens ARMED !
DeSantis does not want this bill. If he did he would be pushing for it. I have asked him to several times and did not even get a response. DeSantis is pure politician. He wants to play both sides so he talks tough and does nothing.
