Is it legal to open carry a gun on your own private property in Florida?
Like in the front or rear yard?

Welcome aboard cap. Moses speaks fondly of you.I open carry all the time , usually in the kitchen hallway and bathroom. Just kidding weed wacker. Back in the old days when I hung out with this fella named Moses. We figured that if we had to ask it was more than likely a common sense issue.

no citation....if it's not "illegal", then by default, it is legal.
That happened in California in 1976 when the California courts decided that the exemption for having a loaded firearm on your property does not mean you can carry a loaded firearm on your property
notice that there was an "exemption".... that means that it can be interpreted to mean something since it is written on paper.
You can carry openly on the curtilage of your home or at your place of business in FL. Not on other property that you may own unless you are legally hunting, camping, fishing, or target shooting.
Until a Florida court decides that you don't. There is a stack of copies of letters in the California State Archives which California Assemblyman Don Mulford sent to voters who wrote in opposing his proposed ban in which he said that the law exempts private property.
And it did exempt private property until the California courts said it didn't.
This is all based in longstanding statutory provisions and case law. Florida is not California, our legislature and courts are not as hostile as yours.
I watched the oral arguments in both the court of appeals and before your Supreme Court. I read the appellate decision in Norman.
They all seemed pretty hostile to me. :lol:
The appellate decision in Norman held that there is a right to bear arms outside the home and you have a right to the carry license despite a previous appellate court ruling that there is no right to a carry license. Not so hostile as any standing ruling that I know of in CA.
so does that mean the state is going to issue refunds for the expenses of the licenses? and do away with the class?
Don't put the cart before the horse.
