I know, it's understandably surprising. Lots of discussion & history on this topic around here (and elsewhere online). AFAIK, it dates back to Reconstruction after the civil war.R3dbull wrote:Why does tx not allow open carry? You would think being one of the more conservative states it would be lawful.

Well... That might depend a LOT on the caliber of attorney representing him.flb_78 wrote:It seems the biggest argument is if the holster is considered to be part of the firearm? There are many saying that in Florida, it is not illegal to have the holster exposed, only the firearm itself, sort of like a fanny pack or one of those square holsters for a pocket gun that hangs on your belt.
It's not illegal to wear an empty holster.
I think this may be a precedent setting case for Florida.
