Unfortunately, the article I had the link to is pay only, but suffice it to say the push to get Open Carry in Florida is still on and lawmakers realize that the actions of an insane person have no bearing on the right to keep and bear arms.
“I have no reservations about pushing the bill, we are one of four states that doesn’t have open carry. It’s the right thing to do,” said Senate Criminal Justice Chairman Greg Evers, R-Baker. “The only way to stop a perpetrator is with equal force.” Former NRA president and lobbyist for Unified Sportsmen of Florida, Marion Hammer, said the bill is necessary. It would allow gun owners with concealed weapons permits to openly carry weapons in public, and it would allow permit holders to carry guns at universities and in private schools.

Good. Crazy people aren’t deterred by laws, neither are criminals. This simply corrects an error in the way our laws are set up.
