Although the bill still hasn't been voted on due to time constraints, two amendments were introduced at the last minute without any warning and were approved without discussion.
The first, by Sen. Evers who sponsored the bill, adds language that prevents a licensee from being prosecuted for accidental exposure of a firearm. It also would legalize open carry by licensees, but conditionally upon the carrier having documented training in firearms retention, having a level-2 retention holster, and displaying their license in a clear plastic holder in proximity to their holster.
The second, by Sen. Dockery who co-sponsored the bill, eliminates the college campus initiative, but reintroduces the removal of private schools from the prohibition list.
Florida Carry, Inc. will release an official statement on the subject in due course.
