Constitutional Carry Legislation Filed in Florida TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Jan. 14, 2021) – A “Constitutional Carry” bill filed for the 2021 legislative session would make it legal for Florida residents to carry a firearm without a license, fostering an environment hostile to federal gun control. Rep. Anthony Sabatini (R-Howey-in-the-Hills) prefiled House Bill 123 (HB123) on Dec. 28. Under the proposed law, anyone who is legally allowed to own a gun could carry it concealed without a state-issued license. Currently, Florida allows anyone over 21 years old who can demonstrate “competency with a firearm” to obtain a concealed carry permit. The license also applies to other types of weapons.
