Good job FL!

Did your bill permit "Open carry?" Ours did not. And all the amendments to add OC to this bill were defeated. OC will not happen in FL in the near future. The retail, hospitality and other related industries are dead set against it... as are most of the legislators. Some people say that it's not "constitutional carry" unless it includes OC.
For me, it really doesn't matter. I'm happy they did it for the sake of those who want it, but I, most likely, won't ever use it. I'll maintain my CWFL. It gets me "reciprocity" with many other states as well as it allows me to take immediate delivery at my FFL. I won't have to wait the 3 addl. days.
