“My first bill has been filed for the 2025 Legislative Session. And it reiterates my commitment to freedom and to the Constitution,” Rudman said. “My bill repeals Florida’s unconstitutional red flag laws and makes Florida an open carry state. ‘Shall not be infringed’ will mean something here in the Gunshine state!”
The bill, HB 31, would allow for open carry of firearms in most places and reduce restrictions on where guns can be carried.
HB 31 proposes several key changes to existing gun laws, including:
Open carry: Allowing the open carrying of legal firearms in most public places

Fees: Eliminates the nonrefundable license fee to carry concealed weapons or concealed firearms. Renewal fees were also eliminated.
