Don P: That is not how the law reads: 790.001 definitions:

(1) antique firearms

(2) Concealed Firearm (Firearm defined below in (6)

(3) Concealed weapon....

(6) “Firearm” means any weapon (including a starter gun) which will, is designed to, or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; the frame or receiver of any such weapon; any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; any destructive device; or any machine gun. The term “firearm” does not include an antique firearm unless the antique firearm is used in the commission of a crime.

Does this mean you will not be charged? No, it just means you are not breaking the law.

BTW: I was wrong, FL uses 1918, not 1898 like the Feds to define an "antique"
