Fairfax, VA -(AmmoLand.com)- On Tuesday, October 6, 2015 at 9:00am the House Criminal Justice Committee will hold a hearing on  HB-163 by Rep. Matt Gaetz

HB-163 is a bill to allow persons with a Concealed Weapons & Firearms License to carry firearms concealed or openly.  It will prevent CW license holders from being charged with the crime of violating the “Open Carry” law because a concealed firearm, being legally carried, accidentally or inadvertently becomes visible to the sight of another person.

We need you to contact committee members immediately and urge them to pass this bill.

Hey so is it ok to open carry in Florida if you have a concealed license or are they still working on it?

When was the last time anyone can say they saw a criminal open carrying in a holster?

Most of the time the gun is in their pants.

Open Carry citizens are not the criminals.

Mississippi just passed a similar amendment to the law.

It’s about time the gun grabbing kooks were controlled.

Accidental disclosure is no longer a crime if FL.
