Open Carry not open carry in FL

[LTCcarrier]

Look at the bullshit open carry proposal in Fl approved by the senate. What a disappointment. Thanks NRA for as usual caving in.

The Tallahassee Democrat Newspaper reports: Florida senators have amended a bill that aimed to allow people to carry guns openly in Florida.

Under the amendment, open carry will still be banned in the state. But legal gun owners who accidentally expose their concealed weapons will not face arrest under the new version of the bill.

That was one of the NRA's main arguments for an open-carry gun law. The group was concerned that gun owners with concealed weapons permits faced prosecution for accidentally displaying their guns.

Police have adamantly opposed the open-carry gun bill from the start, arguing it would make Florida more dangerous.

But officers support the amended bill.

"It will allow people to carry firearms, for instance, underneath a jacket and if they inadvertently expose it, it will not subject them to arrest," said Maj. Clyde Eisenberg of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

The House version of the bill does not include the new amendment at this time and it would allow people with concealed weapons permits to carry firearms openly.

What do you expect from a state in which you have no right to carry a gun or a weapon?
