By Lee WilliamsCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom recently attacked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis after a Memorial Day shootout between what the media called “two groups of youths” in Hollywood, Florida left nine people wounded.“DeSantis signed a permit-less carry bill in April that removes requirements for: background checks, instruction, training and oversight,” Newsom claimed in a tweet. “Until our leaders have the courage to stop bowing down to the NRA and enact common sense gun safety this kind of senseless violence will continue.”There are more than a few things wrong with Gov. Newsom and his misguided criticism of Florida’s new unlicensed carry law, CS/HB 543. First and foremost, the law doesn’t take effect until July 1.Newsom isn’t the only staunch anti-gunner to mischaracterize the law for political purposes, but CS/HB 543 was a public safety bill, and it’s relatively easy to understand.Who can carry without a license?Any law-abiding resident of the United States who is 21 years of age or older (18 or older for active-duty service members or honorably discharged veterans of the U.S. armed forces) can carry a concealed pistol in Florida as long as they meet most of the conditions needed to obtain a Florida Concealed Weapon or Firearm
