Florida is one of four states that doesn't allow open carry in any meaningful way. For a relatively pro-gun state, it's odd company it finds itself in, joining California, Illinois, and Massachusetts.
And this is a state sometimes referred to as "The Gunshine State."
It's not one of the better states on gun laws in general, especially post-Parkland, but the prohibition on open carry unless you're engaged in some kind of "outdoor activity" such as hunting, fishing, or camping, is kind of stupid.
Now, a lawmaker there is looking to change that with a new bill.
