(Yes, I see other commonalities in these cases, but I couldn't possibly list all the cases that fit that.)
For me, open carry--beyond being a right--seems best suited to (1) eliminate any possibility of getting busted for inadvertantly revealing a gun, and (2) for when you want to "peacock" a gun (say in a post-hurricane situation) to just push the bad guys down the road to your dopey, liberal, unarmed neighbors.

“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.”
Believe it or not, we totally agree! And, in the absence of a true OC law in FL, at least they could clean up the "Improper display/brandishing" law to remove that discretion given to LE.

1) Repeal and eliminate Red flag laws
2) Make "Civil Asset forfeiture" illegal.
3) Clarify brandishing law to remove that "discretion."
4) Join with other states to form a compact to combat Federal Anti-2A interference.
