The whole thing is a very bad law. They use such terms as “Briefly”, “Inadvertant” “Angry”. These are not legal terms.

This leaves it up to the LEO to determine what they mean. You may win in court, but a LEO could arrest you and haul you away if his definition of “Briefly” or “Angry” differs from yours. You’ll “win”, but it could cost you thousands.

Correct. This law will be nullified by the first judge who reads it.

They really need to simplify everything. Anyone with a carry permit can carry. End of discussion.

Actually, by the Constitution of the United States and the Florida Constitution, everyone should be able to carry. Florida is one of the only states that makes it absolutely clear in the state constitution who "the militia" really is.

Article 10, Section 2 of the Florida Constitution:
(a) The militia shall be composed of all ablebodied inhabitants of the state who are or have declared their intention to become citizens of the United States;…

We may have other issues, including a constitutional 3 day waiting period for handgun purchase, but we are clear on who can own guns.

That's not better than losing your right to carry concealed, because some crusading soccer mom saw your piece "print" through your shirt?
