It is an incremental step forward, but a small one.

From the headline, visions of flashers. Mine is bigger than yours.

Gives new meaning to ‘flasher’...

I always thought the “anti-brandishing” laws were stupid when applied to CCHL holders.

What better way to diffuse a situation that would otherwise come down to the CCW carrier having to draw and shoot an attacker?

“Back off a$$4ole, I’m armed.”

The RINOs caved in and prevented real open carry.

[NonValueAdded]

what about our weapons?

[poobear]

I prefer the element of the big bang surprise when my life is being threatened.

[bolobaby]

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!

[WoofDog123]

from what this article says, it reads like the law was meant more than anything to protect ccw holders from ‘law enforcement’ in areas LEO’s look for any miniscule technical thing to charge ccw holders with.

The more complex they make gun laws, the worse it will be for free citizens.

[PapaBear3625]

It is not a violation of this section for a person licensed to carry a concealed firearm as provided in s. 790.06(1), and who is lawfully carrying a firearm in a concealed manner, to briefly and openly display the firearm to the ordinary sight of another person, unless the firearm is intentionally displayed in an angry or threatening manner, not in necessary self-defense.

Translation: you won't risk getting in trouble if the wind blows your jacket open and exposes your gun, or if reaching to a high shelf in the supermarket causes your gun to be momentarily exposed.

This does NOT make legal deliberately exposing your gun to somebody, in a message of "back off" (as that would violate the "intentionally displayed in an angry or threatening manner" clause) unless done so in self-defense against an aggressor.

...the Legislature and the governor think you ought to be able to wave it around for a little bit...

Does the law really say that? I don't think so.

[Noumenon]

The only flash you’ll see from my carry piece is when it goes off.

[AnyStreetFL]

Yuck, Matthew Hendley! This guy hates Congressman West and Rick Scott and Marco Rubio.

[org.whodat]

Unzipping and flashing now legal.. This is my weapon, this is my gun, one is for-———————LOL

[longtermmemmory]

the law was created to cover those temporary incidents where you reach for your wallet and the firearm is exposed for an instant.

This “journalist” (deep disrespect intentional) is just misreporting.

[ZX12R]

Leaving your piece in your car has been approved too, as long as you have a concealed-carry permit.

I don't understand this part. It's been legal to have a gun in your car in Florida, for as long as I can remember.

[VeniVidiVici]

You all have to understand also that this piece was written by a South Florida male who have neither guns nor penii.
