Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

My understanding is that there is no limit in Florida. I looked around for a cite but couldn't find one. Maybe someone else could help with that.

I think what Schlitz is so gently hinting at is the fact that it is there is no mention of a limit in the statute. Therefore there is no prohibition on how many guns you can carry therefore there is no limit.
Here is the statute.

Before the bill was nuked, one of the amendments did say a permitee could "openly carry a handgun." You can conceal as many as you want.
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...
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".
A license issued under this section does not authorize any person to openly carry a handgun or carry a concealed weapon or firearm into...

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.

I have never heard of any case where a licensed individual was harassed, arrested, charged, or prosecuted for carrying more than a single weapon. And this guy's teaching the legal aspects of carry? Sheesh!
