lol you're the man SD
I thought that under the new sb234 law that it mentioned some where
That it said (A) handgun. I could be mistaken!
Even had SB234 passed with the "openly carry a handgun" caveat, the intent of the legislature was clearly not to place a limit on the number of handguns one could openly carry, any more than this...
A license issued under this section does not authorize any person to openly carry a handgun or carry a concealed weapon or firearm into...
implies that a licensee could therefore legally carry more than one firearm in a prohibited place under the provisions of FSS §790.06(12) because the prohibition states "a handgun".
Thanks Rich, The reason for my question is because I read this from a poster in USACARRY.com,

How Many guns is too many?
I am not an attorney and this is not construed to give anyone legal advice or training. I am a state licensed firearms instructor and I am licensed to teach the law concerning firearms in Florida. This is how I know it.
Read your Florida CWOF (not CWP or CCWP) license title. The title states "Weapon" or "Firearm" in singular, not plural. Thus, the law (as defined on your license) now only allows you to carry one or the other, not both or more than one of either.
This not prevent you from carrying one gun legally in the car and one on your body if licensed as a Florida CWOFL holder, but an argument could be made against you for carrying a weapon (knife or other) AND a gun on you if a cop has arresting issues with you and exercised his leverage.
It was recently changed from a "permit" to a "license" to make it revocable or suspended under state law at anytime just like your Drivers license. It is no longer a "permit"-ed right you purchase, but a "licensed" privilege you are granted by the state. This change helped it to conform to many other states thus allowing reciprocity to expand.
Something that slipped by the legal eagles watching out for our rights while they were fighting to keep the license fund from being raided.
I would welcome other opinions on this subject, especially from state "K" licensed instructors.
