The ones that originally supported the bill wanted it to be all about open carry. It got so much flack from the Criminal Justice sub-committee that they changed the wording to allow for only brief and accidental showings. Most of the people in Florida's House and Senate are Republican, and therefore like more freedoms for guns. The problem is we have a lot of Sheriffs who are Liberal and they can make life difficult for those who open carry.
I would love for them to allow for open carry, but I think this is a great step in the right direction. Eventually open carry will be allowed. We just have to keep on our legislatures to do the right thing.
