You can open Carry in Texas and Florida on private property or in your business (but that parts tricky)
So basically I can mow my lawn with a 6 shooter, but expect a visit from the local constabulary.
You cannot open carry in Texas or Florida on a day to day stuff (Wal Mart). You can open carry while hunting. You can keep a rifle on your back and walk around and thats legal, but expect to be brought up on charges of "creating a panic" or some such, like Z said, you might win it in court, but you'll get to visit the back of the car.

My G26 is like my Visa, never leave home without it. I learned a bunch of state gun laws during my Trip to Miami last year.
In Mississippi you cant bring it to a parade (which is like wtf?)
Louisiana you can take it to the applebees but you cant take it to the bar in the applebees
I think in one of those states you cant bring it into a church without permission.
Florida has silly concealed carry laws while in a vehicle.
Example, in Texas, I can wear it in my waistband, get in the car, get pulled over, give the officer CHL and Drivers ID, get a ticket go on my way, and he might not even ask me about the gun.
Florida, the gun has to be in case or a holster with a strap of some kind of it, in the glove box or in the trunk.
So not on your person/under the seat.
Somehow this 3-4 steps nonsense got started in the PD there/ Concealed Carry Classes that there must be 3-4 steps between you and the gun. Which is nonsense. So people would argue that you would have to lock the glove box with the gun in the case/strapped holster. AND THEY WILL CHECK and whats even scarier is some of the Local PD there think thats the law. I spoke with several guys at Miami-Dade office over the phone, because I'm not trusting internet forums to keep me out of jail. Basically I sat there with the Florida and Miami laws and went over it, and the first guy told me the 3 steps thing, when I started asking hard questions he bumped me up the line.
When I met one of my Friends Law School friends he could carry on campus (Private school) but had to go through a class with the school, and he told me this 4 step nonsense.
Which is funny because Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana could give a _____.
Sorry too much talk about gun laws.
