Florida Statutes Regarding Concealed Carry Say:
790.01 Carrying concealed weapons.-- (1) Except as provided in subsection (4), a person who carries a concealed weapon or electric weapon or device on or about his or her person commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. (2) A person who carries a concealed firearm on or about his or her person commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. (3) This section does not apply to a person licensed to carry a concealed weapon or a concealed firearm pursuant to the provisions of s. 790.06. (4) It is not a violation of this section for a person to carry for purposes of lawful self-defense, in a concealed manner: (a) A self-defense chemical spray. (b) A nonlethal stun gun or remote stun gun or other nonlethal electric weapon or device which does not fire a dart or projectile and is designed solely for defensive purposes. (5) This section does not preclude any prosecution for the use of an electric weapon or device or remote stun gun or self-defense chemical spray during the commission of any criminal offense under s. 790.07, s. 790.10, s. 790.23, or s. 790.235, or for any other criminal offense. It seems, Concealed Carry Is Out Of The Question, But that brings up Open Carry. So, here is the Open Carry Statute: 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. (2) A person may openly carry, for purposes of lawful self-defense: (a) A self-defense chemical spray. (b) A nonlethal stun gun or remote stun gun or other nonlethal electric weapon or device which does not fire a dart or projectile and is designed solely for defensive purposes. (3) Any person violating this section commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. In Section 1 it says you cannot carry a firearm or Electric Weapon, but then in Section 2 exempts Chemical Sprays yet this isn't a Firearm or Electric Weapon or Device and Therefore wouldn't be illegal whether exempted or not. This confused me and probably would confuse a LEO, so I e-mailed the FDLE. That was 3 months ago when I first posted this. I have yet to hear a word from them regarding the legality of carry a non-gun/electric wepaon openly. The law doesn't make it illegal, yet exempts a device which isn't illegal. Maybe the Legislature was following the example of the 94 AW Ban. If you remember, that law exempted a shitload of guns that weren't SAWs under the law in the first place. |
