Quoted: FS 790.06 (1) "For purposes of this section, concealed weapons/firearms are defined as a handgun, electronic weapon or device, tear gas gun knife, or bille, but the term does not include a machine gun as defined in 790.001(9). "
It seems there is a gray area here handguns are allowed and machine guns are prohibited but no mention of the SBR SBS and AOWs. Any other ideas on this?
The way the law seems to be written it would seem to not allow carry of any firearm other than the "handgun" because the term firearm is redefined in the CCW statue seperate from the chapter 790 general definitions.

OK, let's think this through. You carry an SBR concealed and have occasion to use it in an otherwise legal shooting. Then you get arrested because, in the view of the investigating LE, your CCW permits you to carry "a handgun, electronic weapon or device, tear gas gun knife, or bille," and your SBR is none of the above, therefore by carrying it concealed you have broken the law
Your attorney can argue that, by excluding MGs and not excluding SBRs, the law's
intent was to permit concealed carry of SBRs, SBS's and AOWs. But you know who he will be arguing that case before? The Florida Supreme Court, because they are the only judicial body which is allowed to interpret the intent of lawmakers.
Next question: Do you have any earthly idea of how much you will have spent in legal fees before it gets to that point? And are you willing to be ruled a convicted felon and banned from owning guns for the period between your conviction and the date when the conviction is overturned?
Geez, guys, get real. If you can't find a
handgun big/loud/powerful enough to protect your skin, it's time to move to a better neighborhood.
