Governor Ron Desantis signed permitless carry into law in Florida and watching the opposite reactions from the Left and Right is GLORIOUS!
We will start with the Left because it is easy, they all seemed to get the talking points memo to try and pretend like DeSantis is trying to hide the fact he signed the law and pretend like the law is unpopular.
This morning our Governor quietly signed the permitless carry bill – effective 7/1/23. Permitless Carry does not make our communities safer and the bill is wildly unpopular in Florida which is probably why it was signed quietly, behind closed doors, and with no fanfare…

Check. Check. Christine made sure she ticked both of the talking points. We bet she gets an A+ from the overlords.
DeSantis was just delivered the permitless carry bill and he signed it into law w/out any press conference. Probably because he knows how unpopular it is. pic.twitter.com/e15FT2pSxV

Anna did not want to be left behind and made sure she got in the approved talking points as well.
BREAKING: Governor DeSantis just signed permitless carry into law behind closed doors, probably because he knows it’s dangerous & unpopular.
This bill was rushed through the legislature—and DeSantis signed it quietly with the NRA’s support and against Floridians’ wishes. #flleg pic.twitter.com/NgDAPWgykf

Giffords Courage, an organization founded by Gabby Giffords in 2013, also followed all of the rules and got in on the action.
You can go through the comments on each of those tweets and see a variety of crying gifs and celebratory tweets but we picked out some of our favorites and the juxtaposition to the Left just made our day.
Considering pretty much the entire state voted for him and GOP in every statewide office, your claims seem false. https://t.co/fdB20u5sGe

Exactly! DeSantis won his election with a MAJORITY. The state knew what he stood for when they voted for him. Not much he has done has been ‘unpopular’.
With Florida passing a permitless carry law, there are now more states allowing constitutional carry than those that do not.
This is the way.https://t.co/0ah7d4Qy24

BREAKING: Governor DeSantis has just signed Constitutional Carry into law.
Florida is now the 26th state to allow the permitless carrying of firearms.

YAY! Look, we understand some people do not feel comfortable around guns and we actually do understand some of the concerns around permitless carry, but if criminals are not sure who is carrying, they tend to think for a second before committing crimes.
Yes, it is so unpopular that a majority of the states no longer required the government's permission to carry a firearm pic.twitter.com/SezNvA4Quv

Ouch. That one did hurt the ‘unpopular’ talking point.
How did he "sign it quietly"?
The progress on this has been well publicized for a month.
Anyway… since you can carry in Florida now may I suggest the Glock 43? Like this one you can win for free by entering herehttps://t.co/VrVOBQIxAF pic.twitter.com/5UHEj2VT1y

Aaaannnd BINGO! The bill has been very well publicized, there has not been anything ‘quiet’ about it. None of this was done behind closed doors.
…Florida joins 25 other states in allowing the carrying of firearms without a permit. https://t.co/v5IuebMN3i

An important milestone occurred today when Gov. DeSantis signed the constitutional carry law. With that signature, 26 states now allow permitless carry for gun owners. The Court often looks to how rights or practices are embedded into society in constitutional reviews.

The Celebration tweets were the most fun! Will this be another WIN for DeSantis? We think so.
This editor hopes more states follow soon. 26 is good, 28 would be great, and 50 would be phenomenal!
