They Can't Hear You

 Floridians could openly carry firearms in public and wouldn’t need a permit to carry them concealed under legislation that now has the endorsement of Governor Ron DeSantis. There’s one problem though… The bill hasn’t received a single hearing in either legislative chamber. [More]

The Republican's response will be proportional to how loudly their constituents tell them they want it. Otherwise, expect some to safely posture knowing they won't actually have to change anything.

It's kind of an M.O.

“Governor Ron DeSantis was asked if he would support constitutional carry at a press conference Thursday morning.
His direct response: “Put it on my desk I’ll sign it”.”

DeSantis was asked a similar question three months ago and gave a similar response. Inaction on this bill is entirely on the Legislature leadership and the bill's sponsor.

I would expect nothing other than a "blood in the streets" statement from Eskamani.
