This is how these "open carry" morons should be handled

[spin]

80. Since you live in Florida, if you do see a person openly carrying a firearm in public ...

just consider calling the police. Open carry, with only a few exceptions, is illegal in Florida. The exceptions are that you can legally open carry while hunting, fishing and camping and you may encounter store owners or employees who open carry while at work. It's fairly common for employees of gun stores to open carry in their shop and I remember a newspaper and book store owner in Tampa who open carried the same snub nosed S&W revolver on his belt that I carry concealed.

So gun owners who are abiding with the law in Florida are largely limited to licensed concealed carry. I can get in a lot of trouble with the authorities if I openly carry my handgun or purposefully flash it to impress someone.

There is a movement to pass open carry in Florida. If the law changes, I will consider open carrying my handgun. I doubt that I will often do so as I simply don't like scaring paranoid people. You may feel that I am "sneaky" but I would suggest that I am just considerate and have no wish to scare paranoid people who either have little knowledge of firearms or possibly a justifiable hatred of them. In my personal opinion those gun owners who go out of their way to demonstrate their right to open carry and intimidate other citizens at places like Starbucks are assholes.
