The source is an article from The Boca Raton Tribune addressing the recent change in Florida law regarding the open carry of firearms. Written by Stacy Carchman, the piece explains that a September 2025 court decision struck down the state's 1987 ban, legally allowing both open and concealed carry for eligible individuals. The article clarifies that despite the change, there are still multiple sensitive locations where firearms remain prohibited, such as schools, courthouses, and bars. Furthermore, the text emphasizes that gun owners must act responsibly, as carrying a weapon in a threatening manner is still illegal, and private property owners retain the right to ban guns on their premises. Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw is quoted, confirming that while his deputies will be trained on the new law, their operational assumption that people are armed will not significantly change their procedures.
