I present to you a United States Senator Breaking the law.
There is no exception to Florida’s Open Carry Ban law for this. He should be prosecuted.*
790.053 Open carrying of weapons.—
(1) Except as otherwise provided by law and in subsection (2), it is unlawful for any person to openly carry on or about his or her person any firearm or electric weapon or device. It is not a violation of this section for a person licensed to carry a concealed firearm as provided in s. 790.06(1), and who is lawfully carrying a firearm in a concealed manner, to briefly and openly display the firearm to the ordinary sight of another person, unless the firearm is intentionally displayed in an angry or threatening manner, not in necessary self-defense.
* Note: I’m just pointing the absurdity of the overly broad open carry ban. Please nobody go out an arrest the Senator. If he was in his own office this would actually be legal, if he was in any office other than his own, this is against the law. I’m told this was at the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
