^True. We need pure OC again to end this nonsense.
Below is an article just posted on the Sarasota Herald-Tribune website that exposes the misinformation Sheriff Gaultieri gave in his Palm Beach Post interview (the article also contains a link to that interview). You should read both.

Not really, some SA's are still prosecuting over accidental exposure if it goes beyond their idea of what "brief" means. And yes they are getting away with it.That aspect has been already handled
It wasn't difficult to see back in 2011 that the "fix" was total nonsense. It did absolutely nothing since everything was up to officer interpretation. Most LEO weren't going to arrest someone because their shirt was blow up by the wind. Those the would were still going to arrest.We thought it had been, the wording of the 2011 law protecting unintentional exposure not strong enough for some jurisdictions in fl, prosecutions continues, one man convicted has gotten to the Florida supreme court.

Do you know how to use google? If you do you can find examples.Haven't seen or heard of any such incidents here; not even in liberal Alachua county
Here's a link. Now apologize for your ignorance.Really? Maybe you can post some links since you say they are readily available. You make the statement, provide the link
Dan Forrester said:Difficult to think of Monroe County of being more conservative than Alachua County. Although Ive been accused of being pretty liberal myself so my definition might be different.
You mean a House committee?
Still, the fate of the bill spearheaded by Rep. Greg Steube, R-Sarasota, likely remains with the Senate, where an identical measure (SB 68) must get through its next scheduled stop at the Senate Judiciary Committee. The bills are filed for the 2016 legislative session, which starts in January. Committees are taking up bills in advance of the session.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Miguel Diaz de la Portilla, R-Miami, said Tuesday no decision has been made about whether to bring up the campus-carry bill, adding the measure won't be on the agenda for the committee's next meeting.
A similar measure died during the 2015 session after not getting through the Judiciary Committee.
URGENT: CS/HB-163 Open Carry by Rep. Matt Gaetz is on the agenda for the House Justice Appropriations Committee on Wednesday, November 18 at 1:00pm.
HB-163 is a bill to allow persons with a Concealed Weapons & Firearms License to carry firearms concealed or openly.
It will prevent CW license holders from being charged with the crime of violating the "Open Carry" law because a concealed firearm, being legally carried, accidentally or inadvertently becomes visible to the sight of another person.
