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."

What would you want to tow with a Lamborghini Diablo ???

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.

JW’s went full “The Theocracy wants you vaxxed!” During the Plandemic. Multiple former JWs in our small church who refused.

Nope women decided to use the second half of the runway instead of the first half!

I was in a club about 22 years old. 5'11" about 205 and real lean. A Filipino guy there with a small entourage and I bumped into each other and spilled beer on each other. We were both a little miffed but shit happens. It wasn't on purpose. His guys and the guys I was with provoked the fisticuffs. This guy was all of 5'3" 120 lbs. He hit me every time he wanted to and he wanted to hit me in the nose real hard or in the lips not quite as hard. I could tell he had control of the impact. I only got in a good shot occasionally and could never get a hold of him either. After a long time, maybe 5 minutes, he asked me to stop. I agreed. We went to the bathroom together where he handed me cold wet paper towels. We went back out and sat together and drank the rest of the night, both ashamed that we had fought over such stupidity as allowing those we were with influence us to violence. I did learn something that night, about myself, about him and about human nature.

That is great story about controlling ones emotions and showing respect when warranted
Mandatory life lessons when growing up!
