1,983,477 Floridians have concealed weapons licenses.

A Florida man shot himself in the leg while trying to take out a concealed firearm from his waistband, according to police.

While moving the firearm, Villarreal discharged it, causing a bullet to drive into his right leg. Police believe the incident was an accident. After the shooting, Villarreal was treated in hospital and is in a stable condition.No students at Summerlin Academy were involved in the shooting, and the incident happened when the school had closed, a statement by Bartow Police Department seen by The Ledger said. Bartow Police Department has launched an investigation into the incident.

Florida is a “shall issue” state, where the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services must give a person a license in order for them to legally carry a concealed weapon. A person has to meet a number of criteria in order to gain a license, including being 21 years old; not having a physical condition which stops them from safely handling a firearm; and not having a conviction which prohibits them from possessing a firearm.

Bullock: Gun violence a public health issue in mass shooting eraMontana Governor Steve Bullock, 2020 Democratic candidate for president, talks with Rachel Maddow about reaching out to minority voters, and why gun violence should be treated as a public health issue. Too safe. Too boring. As well as red flag laws, mandatory storage requirements, and routine mental health check requirements in order to own firearms. As a gun owner, all of these things would help reduce gun violence and still allow me my 2A rights. A little hassle for me on my end is no big deal.
