IIRC, Florida started the modern shall issue CWP landslide.

This.
Florida is Shall issue for both resident and non-resident.
No constitutional carry, but FL was way ahead of the curve on concealed carry.
Reciprocity for resident and non-resident permits are very good (with resident picking up a few more states over non).
The FL CWP is so popular that the Florida Dept. of Agriculture (that manages the CWP program) can't keep up with demand and has instituted new submission methods to streamline the process.
Combine the above with a well established Castle Doctrine, and being NFA friendly and you get a very gun friendly state in most of the key areas.
Additionally there is legislation in motion for the next session for both Open Carry and Campus Carry (for CWP holders). Hopefully those pass and we move closer to the constitutional carry motherland.
