I grew up shooting guns and own several myself since before COVID. Unlike the hysterics and the newly minted wannabe preppers with more disposable income than sense (we call them "loot boxes"), I didn't need COVID to convince me of the benefits of responsible gun ownership. It is precisely because of this that I am confident in saying that permitless concealed carry is a very stupid idea. If someone was not able to pass the very, very easy procedures to obtain a concealed carry permit, they had absolutely no business owning a gun to begin with. We're talking fingerprinting, a very generously scored shooting test, and in some cases a few hours of classes or a demonstration that you know how to handle your weapon safely. This whole process takes at most one month. Most who emerge the other side of it still don't know how to properly engage a target in a self-defense situation without being a danger to themselves or other people, so I'm not sure what the ultimate utility is other than giving terminally frightened people the illusion of safety. But that's a discussion for another time. The point is, any person who was hesitant about going to South Beach strapped to drink and party next spring break - as at least a hundred people decided to do this past March, with two bodies to show for it - now can do so without any fear of getting in trouble for a concealed weapon as long as they legally purchased it. Can't imagine what could go wrong.
