As written now:

790.053 Open carrying of weapons.—
(1) Except as otherwise provided by law and in subsection (2), it is unlawful for any person to openly carry on or about his or her person any firearm or electric weapon or device. It is not a violation of this section for a person who carries a concealed firearm as authorized in s. 790.01(1) to briefly and openly display the firearm to the ordinary sight of another person, unless the firearm is intentionally displayed in an angry or threatening manner, not in necessary self-defense.

But, when "briefly and openly display" and "intentionally displayed in an angry or threatening manner" is still left to the discretion of the LEO, it's still problematic for us. A full OC law would reduce if not eliminate a lot of that "discretion."

A 63’ 4000hp Lamborghini yacht, of course!

Here in NM, I see OC all the time. No drama ever. But I'm not doing it. Too many private areas posted.

That's NM. Perhaps, also AZ and TX to an extent.

It ain't FL.

No different than other laws…stand your ground, for example.

I think that SYG laws are more narrowly defined and don't give the LEO as much "discretion" as does "accidental vs improper display" of a concealed firearm.

In your AO…. You damn sure better be strapped… open or concealed… can be a rough area as you well know.

It's funny. I recall how "prevalent" the Jehovah's Witnesses were before COVID. After COVID, narry a visitor.... not until like 3-4 months ago. And even now, they only deliver leaflets. They don't ring the bell and try to drag you into a conversation.
