Carrying a Handgun, Weapon, or Firearm
HB 63 amends Florida law to prohibit licensed individuals from carrying handguns, weapons, or firearms into specific locations, such as schools, courthouses, police stations, airports (in terminal areas), and establishments serving alcohol. The bill targets holders of concealed carry licenses, restricting where they may legally carry firearms under the new provisions. Key locations listed include all public schools, government buildings, polling places, and college campuses (except for students/employees with specific non-lethal devices). The bill, which was withdrawn before introduction on November 4, 2025, would have taken effect October 1, 2026, if passed.
