flag Publix now allows open carry in Florida stores following a court ruling and state law changes.

flag Publix has allowed open carry of firearms in its Florida stores since September 25, 2025, following a state court ruling that struck down the previous ban as unconstitutional. flag While the company has not issued a formal statewide policy, multiple employees confirm the change, stating customers may openly carry as long as they do not create a threatening environment. flag Publix emphasizes compliance with all laws and reserves the right to involve law enforcement in disruptive situations. flag The policy aligns with Florida’s new open carry law, which permits the practice in most public places, though private businesses may set their own rules. flag Other major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Winn-Dixie continue to prohibit open carry. flag Public reaction is mixed, with some customers expressing concern over safety and others supporting the change as a matter of personal rights.
