Title: Motion to approve a resolution supporting, and urging Tallahassee to pass, permitless carry legislation
Mover: Mike Rufo
Motion: I move to approve a resolution support, and urging Tallahassee to pass, permitless carry legislation.
WHEREAS, Florida, unlike many of the states, requires a permit for legally owned handguns to be carried outside of limited areas such as one’s home and vehicle; and
WHEREAS, criminals do not follow the law and the permit requirement disarms their victims; and
WHEREAS, based on evidence from our state and other states, a permit requirement does not make people safer; and
WHEREAS, Florida should join the growing number of states who recognize permitless carry, meaning that the constitution is our permit to carry; now,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Libertarian Party of Florida urges the Florida Legislature to pass Permitless Carry in the next legislative session in which anyone who legally possesses a handgun should be able to carry it, open or concealed, without a permit, while maintaining licensing as optional for reciprocity purposes.
Upon passage of this Resolution, we request that it be distributed to all House and Senate members of the Florida Legislature.
