When it comes to the Second Amendment, Florida and Illinois are almost polar opposites, with the former state considered one of the most respectful of gun rights.<\/p>\n

But when it comes down to crime, one state\u2019s got it far worse than the other, and it isn\u2019t even close \u2013 and the answers may have people at Everytown, Giffords and Brady United throwing things. According to a comparing the first six months of 2026 to the first six months of 2025 by the Major Cities Chiefs\u2019 Association, Chicago had 211 murders in the first six months of 2026, compared to 29 for Miami, Orlando and Tampa combined.

That\u2019s got Chicago on the wrong end of a 7-to-1 ratio when it comes to homicide. To make it worse, Chicago\u2019s murders had increased from the same time period in 2025, when there were 199 homicides. In that same timeframe, the three Florida cities had 30 homicides total.<\/p>\n

Now, according to the grades Illinois got from Everytown and Giffords, you think that state wouldn\u2019t be having a lot of murders, and Chicago, which has strict gun laws of its own (as does Cook County, which Chicago is part of) would be quite peaceful, but the data from the association doesn\u2019t show that.<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s look at Florida, a state that Giffords and Everytown grade very low in terms of gun laws. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed \u201cconstitutional carry\u201d into law in April 2023, despite taking heat from the Biden administration for doing so. An appeals court in the state also shot down a ban on young adults under the age of 21 from carrying firearms.

Florida is also a state where self-defense isn\u2019t automatically considered a dirty word, and in more than one case, carjackers and burglars have a lot of thinking to do when they want to try something. Forget the cops, the real risk is the crooks run into an armed would-be victim!<\/p>\n
