Page 25 - Florida Concealed Carry Law

What Does Concealed Carry Mean?
Concealed carry is when your firearm is physically on your body or about your person.
Florida Statutes 790.001(2) “Concealed firearm” means any firearm, ..., which is carried on or about a person in such a manner as to conceal the firearm from the ordinary sight of another person.
The term “about your person” means the firearm is in such close proximity that it can be retrieved and used as quickly as if it were carried on your person. This would include a purse, backpack or briefcase.
The term “concealed” means your firearm or weapon must be hidden. No one should be able to look at you and notice that you have a firearm under your clothing.
What Other Weapons Can I Carry Besides a Gun?
Florida Statutes 790.06(1) ... For the purposes of this section, concealed weapons or concealed firearms are defined as a handgun, electronic weapons or devices, tear gas gun, knife or billie, but the term does not include a machine gun...
I believe it's extremely important for everyone to carry a non-lethal self- defense option. Your only two self-defense options shouldn’t be do nothing or kill someone. We need something in the middle, like mace, a taser or a baton.
