Yep, we can carry pretty much anything anytime with very little restriction. However, we can't do anything to create a public panic.

Were pretty much "free"

That's the problem here in FL. Just the sight of an OC'ed weapon without a badge next to it would create a public panic.

Yeah, I can see that. Where you have high population areas with lots of demographics I can only imagine. Here if we see a guy toting a pistol or a rifle its just another Tuesday.

However, I will say with recent events if a person is carrying an AR or like rifle people get a bit more aware. But in most places not seeing a weapon is rarer than seeing a weapon.

What really makes me laugh is the summer. People will wear leg or ankle holsters but will be in shorts, so they look a bit odd, but they have their weapon.

Yoga pants and a IWB holster is pretty common LOL
