Duval and St. Johns-mostly rural areas/semi-rural. But was quiet common when I was growing up. Enough so that as a kid, If I went somewhere and saw folks without a sidearm on, I found it very strange. Would ask my father "where;s their pistol?"
Not sure I'm buying that.
I've been in Florida for almost half a century, born and raised, growing up in a small county in SW FL and spending a great deal of time in the rural counties of NC FL with my grandparents. In all the time prior to 1987, I can count the number of times I saw someone OCing a handgun (when not actively hunting) on my fingers with room to spare.
