Goofy,
The "under certain circumstances" language is found in the title of the bill, not the text. Here is the actual operative language of that portion of the bill, as amended. Quote:

Even so, it's probably best to keep your gun(s) covered well.
I would be more than happy to comply with an "excuse me sir, do you have a permit for that weapon?" from a Miami-Dade officer. Open carry, concealed carry, whatever. But the more likely interaction will probably involve some combination of guns and tasers. Funny, since I started carrying I'm more afraid of police than criminals now...

Ultimately, the Courts will determine what that language means if the bill passes - anything posted here is pure speculation....

Better than nothing. Try again, if motivated. In TX, our bills seem to be headed for the waste bin.

There are now 3 separate threads on the subject of Florida "Open Carry."
I am merging them all into this, the original thread. Hang on, as the posts may not make sense, right away..... |

Well, that's that. The Senate voted on the new language. Passed 26-11 earlier today.
I wonder if the House will amend their bill to match. |

They said on the news that this bill was sent to the Governor's desk this morning. He said that he will sign it and the NRA has already declared a win. Now that these new laws are being put into effect, hopefully we can slowly change toward open carry.

This was taken directly from today's Florida Senate Journal...
CS for CS for SB 234 as amended was passed and certified to the House. So, since the House hasn't made changes to HB 517 to reflect the ones from the Senate, there may still be a glimmer of hope for OC... Everyone get on the horn or fire off the emails to the Florida House. Perhaps we can force a special conference committee to iron out the differences. |

I have written my senator and representative on the matter. I want open carry. Don't get me wrong... I won't carry openly, but at the same time it gives us more rights, and I am all about receiving more rights.

I hope that it does get through, but I don't think it will. We will just have to try again in a year or so once people realize that the new laws haven't made Florida the Wild Wild West.

What OC bill?
There wasn't ever one. Can't wait til I see the NRA guys at the next gun show and get to ask why they sold us out for the very beginning Maybe they're taking marketing suggestions from AARP AFS |

VETO!!!!!
R Scott are you listening VETO this NRA sell out and do it with extreme prejudice. I cannot believe the NRA is calling this chit a victory for gun owners. Anybody remember the FOPA and the end of automatics registration? Totally worthless. I had expected more from Hammer!

As for Marion Hammer, I'm not sure why you're singling her out. She only on the local level in 1986. She couldn't have stopped the Hughes Amendment. She was, however, one of the people at the forefront when the NRA got Florida concealed carry in the first place. Quote:

Sell Out

Do a search here and read for your self. Form your own opinion. Apparently the will of the citizens of Florida is not a priority for the USF and the NRA. |

Was my original statement. I'm not trying to influence your opinion. And yes the Sheriffs and police chiefs are against OC. And the NRA does have a pretty close relationship with the law enforcement organizations through out the country. Right now I am not very happy with Hammer and the NRA, but if you all are that has to be fine with me. |
