You can even have it concealed without a permit so long as it isn't concealed on your person and it is what is called "securely encased" (requiring a snap or a zipper or a flap to be undone before you get to it).

I don't click the links, it's enough to read a dozen of the tweets in a row.  Florida Man is almost always barefoot, sometimes naked, usually stealing, often armed, mostly intoxicated on any substance you can think of, regularly reaches out to police for help, (they usually club Florida Man then arrest him) equal parts desperate, sad, befuddling.  He has poor relationships with just about anything, women, men, domestic animals, wild animals, trucks, food, innumerable inanimate objects, but mostly his self. He will attempt to have sex with anything. He often is trying to leave Florida but rarely manages to do so and is often jailed if he does. Poor guy, but it makes you think doesn't it? It makes me think "Why do some people think Florida is a destination?" or "If I ever need someone to eat a bag of meth, I hope I'm in Florida" and "Of course I would be in Florida if I needed that" followed by "There but for the grace of Gosh go I... no not under any circumstances not even in my disturbed youth"  @_FloridaMan,  one stop shopping for feeling better about yourself, you life and most everything in it.
