Sheriff Warns About New Legal Open Carry Laws

About this video

Colion discusses Florida’s new open carry law and argues that while open carry should be legal to avoid accidental exposure penalties, intentionally open carrying is tactically outdated in modern society. He contends that concealed carry provides the critical element of surprise that armed citizens need, whereas open carry makes gun owners targets for criminals who may attempt to disarm them. Colion supports his position by referencing a Florida sheriff’s statements and citing examples of open carriers being disarmed.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues open carry laws are necessary to protect people from legal trouble when firearms accidentally become visible, but intentionally open carrying is tactically weak
• According to Colion, concealed carry provides the element of surprise—the only tactical advantage armed citizens have over criminals who already rely on the unexpected nature of crime
• Colion presents examples and sheriff commentary suggesting that open carriers become priority targets for criminals rather than deterrents, with assailants sometimes attempting to steal visible firearms
