Unless you live in Florida, the state’s lax gun carry laws may not seem to be much of a concern to you. But they should be. Several other states have instituted laws as weak as—or even weaker than—Florida’s.

The legislation, which is called “concealed carry reciprocity,” has been introduced in the last several Congresses and is likely to be reintroduced in the 114th Congress. It would require all states to honor concealed carry permits issued in any other state, even those issued by states with much weaker standards.
