Latest on the possible open carry in Florida
This from the NRA-ILA three links worth a look and as usual many misleading statements by LE. See for your self and then decide.

This was told to me by a Daytona Beach officer that performed this stop. At a traffic stop the driver leaned over to get to the glove box for his registration and insurance card while doing so the butt of his revolver became visible. He was yanked from the vehicle face down on the roadway at gun point. He had a CCW permit. In Florida we are not required to notify about CCW. Just some food for thought. Would one be drawn upon if his gun inadvertently became exposed and witnessed by LE.

Wow, I didn't realize LE could be so tough in "accidental exposure" cases. Hopefully the majority of LEOs don't share this attitude, which could be construed as borderline paranoia. I have no desire to carry openly, but think this law could definitely be helpful in some circumstances.
