All,
A person recently asked me if it was legal to openly carry a rifle in Florida. After explaining the usual "handgun" exemptions for open carry, I started to think about it and said I wasn't sure.
I know you can open carry a rifle (shotgun, bow, etc) in a vehicle with or without a license, but actually carrying a rifle outside the vehicle seems to elude my search of Florida statute 790. I see guys in the news with slung AR's and the like, but can't find where that is a viable demonstration technique.
Either that or it is simply not addressed anywhere that I can find.
Can anyone point me to the relevant statute that answers the question one way or the other?
