Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) ratified legislation Monday enabling Floridians over the age of 21 to carry concealed weapons without a government-issued permit, noting, "Constitutional carry is in the books."

Florida is, as a result, the 26th state in the union not to require residents to acquire a permit or pay additional fees to exercise their constitutional right to pack heat outside their homes.

While the law spares residents from having to acquire a permit, law-abiding gun carriers will nevertheless be required to carry valid IDs with them and undergo a background check when purchasing a gun from a licensed dealer. Furthermore, this legislation will not affect those prohibited under state or federal law from possessing a gun, who will continue to be barred from possessing or carrying firearms.
