Carrying Weapons and Firearms

SB 406 prohibits carrying weapons or firearms in specific locations, including schools (elementary/secondary and college facilities), courthouses, police stations, polling places, government meetings, and certain areas of bars. It creates new criminal penalties for violations, classifying them as second-degree misdemeanors, while allowing firearms in vehicles for lawful purposes and in airport terminals when encased for shipment. The bill aligns with existing concealed carry license rules by explicitly listing prohibited locations, such as college campuses (unless the person is a student/employee with a non-lethal weapon) and polling places. It does not change general concealed carry requirements but adds these location restrictions to Florida law.
