OPEN CARRY is not vacation friendly!
Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.
Florida is a favorite vacation destination for many families. But the state is now considering giving gun owners with concealed carry permits the right to openly carry their firearms anywhere they want in public. Please stop the open carry bill from moving forward, because families don't want to vacation in a state where people are openly carrying their weapons!
Why is this important?
Florida lawmakers are considering giving gun owners with concealed carry permits the right to openly carry their firearms in public places, even allowing them to hold their guns in their hands as they walk around.
With Disney World, Universal Studios, miles of pristine sand beaches, and world-class shopping and dining, Florida is the ultimate vacation destination for many families in the United States and around the world. But imagine going on vacation with kids and loved ones to a place where any stranger standing inches from you in line, or just passing by on the street, could be displaying or handling a deadly weapon. No, thank you.
Tell the Florida tourism industry that families do not want to vacation in a state where people are openly carrying their weapons. MomsRising will deliver the message and your signature to the Florida Commission on Tourism, as well as to Disney World, Universal Studios, regional tourism boards, and other key members of the Florida tourism community.
With more than 97 million people visiting the state, bringing more than $70 billion a year to the economy, the tourism sector is a powerful voice in Florida and can influence state policy on gun safety. The Florida Commission on Tourism and other leaders in the tourism industry will not like to hear that allowing the open carry of firearms may lead people to start looking elsewhere for that perfect family vacation. So sign on now!
