Florida has always carried a reputation as the “Gunshine State.” With over 2.5 million concealed carry permit holders, a strong tradition of firearm ownership, and a culture of freedom, you’d think Floridians would be leading the charge in Second Amendment rights.

But the truth? We’ve been left behind.

While 27 other states have now passed full Constitutional Carry laws that allow law-abiding citizens to openly carry firearms without begging for government permission, Florida has stalled. What we got in 2023 was not true Constitutional Carry—it was permitless concealed carry. That means you can tuck your firearm under your shirt, but the second your jacket rides up or your holster shows, you risk becoming a criminal.

That’s not freedom. That’s not what the Second Amendment guarantees.

And that’s why OpenCarryFlorida.com was created.

Why OpenCarryFlorida.com Exists

OpenCarryFlorida.com isn’t just another gun site. It’s a movement headquarters for Floridians who are done settling for watered-down rights. It’s for the men and women who understand that the Second Amendment doesn’t say “concealed only.”

Here’s the mission:

  • Educate gun owners on what the law actually says (and what it doesn’t).
  • Inform the community with breaking legislative updates straight out of Tallahassee.
  • Mobilize everyday Floridians to take action when politicians drag their feet.
  • Unify gun owners, instructors, shop owners, and patriots across the state into one clear voice: We demand true open carry in Florida.

A Long Overdue Fight

Florida’s current restrictions are out of step with the rest of the nation. States like Texas, Arizona, and even Maine have recognized that freedom means the right to carry openly—without fear of harassment or prosecution.

But here in Florida, the same lawmakers who brag about being pro-gun have settled for half-measures. They’ve called it a “step in the right direction,” but we all know the truth: half a right is not a right at all.

OpenCarryFlorida.com is about raising the standard. It’s about refusing to accept crumbs when freedom is on the table.
