Florida Republican state Rep. Joel Rudman filed a bill that would allow state residents to openly carry firearms and repeal the state’s red flag laws.

Floridians can currently carry concealed weapons, but open carry remains illegal in the state. Florida is one of four states that ban the open carrying of a firearm with or without a permit.
