Recently, and with virtually no media hype (good or bad), the extremely watered-down version of what was to be a OC-permitting bill in Florida was signed into law. As it started, it would have allowed open-carry by those who hold CC licenses. By the time it reached the Gov's desk, it had been reduced to nothing more than a measure that essentially decriminalizes the act of allowing someone else to spot, albeit briefly, one's holstered (or otherwise carried) and usually-concealed firearm, such as when reaching up, bending low, or changing jackets. Though the law says the exposure must be brief, it does not define "brief". To some people, a "brief walk" about their neighborhood could be "brief". But that's another matter. What I'm asking here is your takes on this: carrying your firearm holstered "openly" while in your vehicle, though in a manner in which it would not be visible from outside the vehicle (I'm left-handed, so that's easy for me), then covering it only when exiting the vehicle with a longer shirt or jacket. Something that would be permitted now? Already was? Or still isn't?
Of course, I know none of you is a Florida criminal law attorney, so I'm not soliciting legal advice here, just opinions.
