I have a permit to carry so the threat of police action against me i think is very low BUT open carry imho invites a thug to snatch it from me ...as i said i am not opposed to open carry its just not for me . After some reading about the legal issues of constitutional carry I jumped on getting a permit
When i looked into permit vs constitutional carry there was some grey area about having a handgun in the car ,it is my understanding that a permit erases all problems with carrying in a car .
People in power are not angles. A cop has power of arrest. Having a gun concealed doesn't prevent him from saying you were carrying it openly. Who is right in a court, is down to your word against his. The court will believe the cop over you without supporting evidence. The idea concealed carry solves the problems of unlawful authority is foolish. The point of a law restricting open carry is to have control of the people. Concealed carry doesn't make you immune to unlawful authority. It wasn't that long ago local Sheriff Office had problems described in the about GA. https://www.ammoland.com/2024/02/sa...-up-in-dismissed-shooting-case/#axzz8QaVMUd8m There is no guarantee that it won't come back.
3rd time ...i would not oppose open carry
Y’all could be like me,from Mississippi where we have both and still haven’t seen what they do with “all the money”
In Florida it is written in the statute (790.053) that it is ok to briefly have your concealed weapon visible briefly as long as it is not done in an angry or threatening manner. That's the "my shirt came up" or "my jacket blew open" law that allows for real life to happen without an overzealous officer making weak cases.
try that in court
Has this actually happened to you or anyone you know personally? I ask because it seems a bit of a reach for an officer, in the days of body cams and cell phones, to claim something was openly carried when it wasn't. There's even a clause in the 790 statutes that states that "this section will be liberally construed in favor of the right to bear arms" or some language that clearly communicates any benefit of a doubt should go to a lawful gun owner. I get that people have concerns, and when guns are in play those concerns get a bit of an edge on them because the stakes are higher. Cops lose court cases all the time so the idea that a court will always side with the officer is not true by a long shot.
and short tooI'll never be able to live out my dreams of shitposting in public by open carrying dual Hi-Point C9s in super highspeed drop leg holsters.
Life is cruel, ladies and gentlemen. ;_;

oh my
I have carried for over 40 years... No one knew or put me in a position to have to use it. I also had my Dealers and Collector FFL's then.
