“We see other states that have laws that respect that (open carry),” DeSantis said.
“I’m for it, I’ve always been for it,” he added.

DeSantis called red flag laws a “due process violation.”
“The burden shifts, where you have to prove to a court you are not a menace or a threat,” he said.
“That’s not the way due process works,” he added.
DeSantis said Florida has “lagged” on 2nd Amendment issues, despite saying it’s “the free state.”
“Open carry and red flag *repeal*,” the Republican governor said on X.
