Florida only allows open carry of a side arm if you are fishing. You may not carry a side arm in an open manner in Florida. You must carry concealed at this point and have a Concealed Carry Permit. You are correct that there is about to be a change in the law in Florida. The Florida Senate has passed or will soon pass changes to the carry law in Florida. You will be able to carry a side arm in Florida in an open manner if you have a concealed carry permit. I applaud the legislators for finally using some common sense when it comes to caring a firearm. I don't carry it to have a fight, I carry it to prevent it.
