If I had the money and time, I might be willing to be the test case on this one.

Odd that Florida has had this law at least for the 6 years I've been carrying concealed, and we don't have airport shootouts.

12) No license issued pursuant to this section shall authorize any person to carry a concealed weapon or firearm into any place of nuisance as defined in s. 823.05; any police, sheriff, or highway patrol station; any detention facility, prison, or jail; any courthouse; any courtroom, except that nothing in this section would preclude a judge from carrying a concealed weapon or determining who will carry a concealed weapon in his or her courtroom; any polling place; any meeting of the governing body of a county, public school district, municipality, or special district; any meeting of the Legislature or a committee thereof; any school, college, or professional athletic event not related to firearms; any school administration building; any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, which portion of the establishment is primarily devoted to such purpose; any elementary or secondary school facility; any career center; any college or university facility unless the licensee is a registered student, employee, or faculty member of such college or university and the weapon is a stun gun or nonlethal electric weapon or device designed solely for defensive purposes and the weapon does not fire a dart or projectile; inside the passenger terminal and sterile area of any airport, provided that no person shall be prohibited from carrying any legal firearm into the terminal, which firearm is encased for shipment for purposes of checking such firearm as baggage to be lawfully transported on any aircraft; or any place where the carrying of firearms is prohibited by federal law. Any person who willfully violates any provision of this subsection commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

The key phrase is "passenger terminal" . Does this include the check-in and baggage claim area that everyone has access to? Or does it only include the area past the security cop-a-feel area where PASSENGERS wait to board their plane?

Well all the signs say Terminal right a the drop off points so I would say yes and it specifically states that this does not stop you from checking a cased and unloaded firearm for checking into you baggage.

The law USED to allow for it a long time ago from what I have read, but it was changed to not allow it.

So I do remember correctly, that it used to be allowed?

I thought I was going crazy.
