Ron DeSantis touts permit-free concealed carry law just after mass shooting in Florida

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday sent out a fundraising request in which his campaign highlighted a rule that "allows Floridians to carry concealed weapons without a government-issued permission slip" — just two days after a mass shooting near a beach in Florida.

Ron DeSantis for President sent the email, which touted the policy positions and state-level accomplishments of DeSantis. The email subject line was "My email is less than 400 words," yet the contents of the email contained more than 2,000 words.

Among the accomplishments listed in the fundraising email was that DeSantis has purportedly defended "Second Amendment rights."
