flag A Florida court ruled open carry legal statewide, citing constitutional rights, following a 2022 arrest of a man with a prior conviction.

flag Stanley Victor McDaniels, a 42-year-old Pensacola man, became a central figure in a landmark Florida ruling on September 10, 2025, when a three-judge panel declared the state’s open-carry ban unconstitutional, calling open carry the “default mode of bearing arms.” His 2022 arrest for openly carrying a loaded firearm while holding a copy of the U.S. Constitution sparked a legal challenge that culminated in the decision, which now legalizes open carry statewide. flag Though McDaniels, barred from gun possession due to a prior domestic violence conviction, cannot legally carry a firearm, he maintains his actions were a constitutional stand. flag Florida’s attorney general confirmed the ruling is now law, halting prosecutions. flag While some officials warn of public safety risks, the decision aligns with broader national trends and affects all of Florida, though carrying guns in a threatening or careless manner remains illegal.
