I certainly would not disagree with Mr. Blandings view. But the subject is very muddy because the statue (FS 790.053) is not clear. In Gutmacher's book (page 108) he sumerizes FL law does not generally prohibit the open carrying of weapons other than firearms, lethal or non-defensive electric weapons except for certain places. Technically, this means you could carry a knife, machete, bow, cross-bow, sword, spear, nun-chuks, and almost anything else with you-almost anywhere-be totally legal, so long as they are NOT concealed.
So you could walk down the street with your expanding baton as longs its not concealed. However to Mr Blandings point, that does not mean you would not recieve attention from the local cops, even though it appears you are within the law. Confusing to say the least.:dunno:
