Actually, that post with the link was my first comment on the subject.
But every state with CCW's has their own laws. I don't know why there
would be a law anywhere that would prohibit a person from displaying
their firearm if they have a permit to carry one. In our state of Ohio,
you have to take 8 hours of class time and 2 hours on the firing range
to get your CCW, and it has to be renewed every two years. The people
who trained to get their permit know just as much about the laws as the
police do. And from what I understand, in Florida, you can shoot
somebody if they look at you the wrong way.
