Florida Supreme Court Rules the Second Amendment Doesn’t Protect Open Carry

It appears that the Florida Supreme Court is using the same reasoning as used back in the 1870s and 1880s and that was that while people were allowed to have guns at home for self-protection, frontier towns usually barred anyone but law enforcement from carrying guns in public, both concealed and openly. However, they (the court) is misinterpreting what the rationales for this was: 1. to stop crime, and 2. Economic development, based on the premise that the community wanted to be and appear 'civilized' and would attract businesspeople and civilized folk.
What is sad that before 'gun control' became such an issue in recent years that 'open carry' was not an issue or a problem.
The judiciary appears to be staking out territory as their means of control; just as the 'press' is trying to take control as the only check on abuse of power. This is how Slate looks at it:
An aggressive free press is the only check on the abuse of power. Support Slate’s journalism.

PO1 Tony Holland Always found it strange when states allow concealed, but not open carry.
