The bills SB150/HB543 eliminate the need for a concealed weapons license, which required a mandatory background check and a firearms training course before you can carry hidden weapons or firearms on your person or in a vehicle in Florida, provided you still meet other gun ownership requirements.
The bill also adds private schools to the list of educational facilities that can ask the local sheriff for help establishing a guardian program, requires law enforcement agencies to develop an active assailant response policy, requires the Office of Safe Schools to develop a behavioral threat management operational process and develop a threat management portal, authorizes the state Department of Education to adopt emergency rules, requires the Department of Education to establish the Florida Safe Schools Canine Program, and more. Three states ban "open carry"— California, Illinois, and Florida So in FL, you cannot have it in a holster or showing at all, it has to be kept concealed.
