Ron DeSantis, all the way back in March of 2023, has been pushing for open carry.

The state isn’t going through with an appeal. This case is Florida law, statewide, after the 25th. Now it’s just a matter of grabbing a big eraser and taking §790.053 off the books.

What a great great case. Thank you for the link, BB. I had absolutely given up, renounced to live in a state that wouldn’t allow open carry. The times, they are a’changin’.
