SOUTH FLORIDA Open carry fishing event!

If you don't own fishing equipment and don't want to spend a mint outfitting yourself, are really doing this more as a political protest and not for anything else, don't want to blow a wad of cash, etc...

Just some examples. Hell, put a hook on a spool of line... Whatever.

This costs less than the gas to drive to the event...

I got mine for less than $5 at Bass Pro just a month ago, but they seem to have discontinued the product...

At Everglades Holiday Park!

http://www.evergladesholidaypark.com/locate.html



Come join us for the FIRST SOUTH Florida Open Carry event to raise awareness of Open Carry rights in Florida 10AM - 12PM

Open Carry Events will be held simultaneously in Daytona Beach, Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Melbourne, and Ft. Myers.

Fishing license is required! If your a broward resident and have a cane pole no license is required. They also sell licenses there. They have a full tackle store, food and drinks also. Just bring your rod, gun, and yourself!



Driving Directions

Coming from the north or the south, take I-95 or the Florida Turnpike to I-595 west. Head west on I-595 to I-75 south. Continue south on I-75 to Griffin Road west (exit 13B). Head west on Griffin Road until it crosses over Route 27. This is where Griffin Road dead ends at the entrance to Everglades Holiday Park!

If you are coming from the north, you might consider using the Sawgrass Expressway (869) to drive south instead of I-95 or the Turnpike. Since the Sawgrass is farther west, you will head directly into I-75 and therefore take a more direct route to the park.

Wish I wasn't so damn far from all of them. Not worth it to make the trip.

This one's in Hollywood, but I understand, I hate the drive to/from miami even though it's less than 40 miles, so much I did it once and that was it.

I've got a question that may seem like it's common sense, but seeing how OC is legal as long as you're going fishing, I don't think there's much common sense when it comes to these damn gun laws, lol...

I am STILL waiting on my CCW so with that said, am I legally allowed to OC at one of these events or while fishing in general?

Thanks for entertaining a somewhat embarrassing question, lol :uhoh:

Yup, OC fishing has nothing to do with CC licenses. It's part of the same statute's exemptions that allow police and military to carry on-duty.

Common sense???

Yes, you can open carry while fishing and you do NOT need a license.

But if the attending officer asks you to put your gun in your pocket to help keep the peace, THEN you'll be needing a concealed weapons permit!!

Strange but true.

Weird, I thought the statute didn't specify open or concealed, just that you could carry while fishing, and we just us use the open carry provision because it's the onlt time we can.

I'd rather just OC anyway (but do have a CWFL, so I could wrap my jacket on over it for getting donuts on the way).
