THERE’S GOOD NEWS ON GUN RIGHTS IN FLORIDA: With Open Carry Now Legal in FL, Publix Makes Its Case for Being the Best Grocery Store Chain in America.
Publix, one of Florida’s largest and most recognizable grocery chains, is now allowing customers to openly carry firearms in its stores across the state, according to multiple employees. The change follows a recent court decision that overturned Florida’s ban on open carry, ruling it unconstitutional.
The new law, which took effect on Sept. 25, gives private businesses the discretion to prohibit or permit open carry on their premises. Publix, which operates more than 900 locations statewide, appears to have chosen to allow it. Employees at various stores confirmed the policy shift when contacted.
