Permitless ≠ Easy: Florida Carry Explained

Florida’s carry laws are still a legal minefield. In this video, I break down when a Concealed Weapon/Firearm License (CWL) still makes sense, how vehicle carry works under Florida’s “securely encased” rule, and the Four Pillars of responsible citizenship: Equipment, Legal Knowledge, Range Time, and Mental Rehearsal. Plus, weigh in on our gun-magnet poll.
