May A Person Licensed To Carry A Concealed Weapon Or Firearm Legally Carry Or Wear A Firearm On The Outside Of His Or Her Clothing?

While Florida law allows individuals who obtain a license the right to carry a concealed firearm, section 790.053, F. S., specifically prohibits the open carrying of any firearm or electric weapon or device EXCEPT in those instances prescribed therein. This section of law was amended by the Legislature in 2011, however, to provide that a person who is licensed to carry a concealed firearm is not in violation of the law if the firearm is “briefly and openly” displayed to the ordinary sight of another person, “unless the firearm is intentionally displayed in an angry or threatening manner, not in necessary self-defense.” Other instances of the lawful ownership, possession, and use of firearms and other weapons are set forth in section 790.25, F. S.

I think like the Illinois law it covers accidently uncovering your weapon .. but not open carry as such ..
