I am 18 years old. I saw on another forum all the legality of owning, and transporting of a handgun, but nothing about open carrying. I know in the state of florida you can open carry a loaded firearm while actively hunting, fishing, or camping. Also while traveling to, and from these events in your vehicle.
My question is what is the age limit on the rifle VS pistol?
Can I only open carry a rifle while hunting, fishing, or camping?
Can I open carry a handgun while hunting, fishing or camping?

Thanks
