The legislation is not about open carry, it is about those with conceal carry license who inadvertently expose their weapon while carrying, I’ve had it happen on occasion myself, Floridians have been convicted of crimes because their shirt ran up above their weapon without their knowledge, this Bill would not allow an individual to be prosecuted in such an instance, unless it is proven the exposure was deliberate and meant as a threat.
There is a major push for open carry in Florida but this Bill is not it, not even a small step in that direction, this is a totally different issue.
I disagree. That legislation was passed in 2011, but it seems some LEO's and judges don't care.
