Publix has reversed its policy on open carry firearms in Florida stores, now permitting only law enforcement officers to openly carry firearms while shopping.
When Florida became an open carry state, Publix was one of the first companies to allow customers to openly carry firearms inside its stores. However, the policy has now changed, and customers have expressed mixed reactions.
Julio Gonzalez of Cape Coral said, "Basically, I don't feel safe with that decision. We need to protect, and that is the only reason we carry a gun, not to intimidate, not to do anything wrong, it's just to protect the family." |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
