Florida's new law does not legalize open carry. Under Statute § 790.053, carrying a firearm in plain view remains a second-degree misdemeanor in Fort Lauderdale. The law only authorizes permitless carry for weapons that are concealed from the ordinary sight of others. Understanding this distinction is vital to avoiding criminal charges in the 17th Judicial Circuit during public outings or transit through Broward County.
