Permitless carry is now the law in Florida, meaning people can carry a concealed weapon with no permit or training.
At the same time, across the country, there have been several incidents in just the past few days of people being shot when they did something as simple as knock on the wrong door or turn into a driveway.
Against this backdrop, the national gun violence prevention group Giffords is ramping up its work here in Florida.
Guest: Samantha Barrios, Florida state director at Giffords.

Public notices
For 111 years, the Jacksonville Daily Record has published public notices in Duval County. Local residents and property owners read the Record to follow all government agency public notices — everything from zonings to auctions to bid notices and more.
Now, though, Jax City Council is considering changing this more than century-old tradition. Critics of the move say it raises concerns about transparency and accountability.
Guest: Angela Campbell, publisher of the Jacksonville Daily Record.
Historic Springfield
