Why is the temporary exposure bill being misrepresented as being open carry?

That is one DAMNED good question!

Marion Hammer sent out a previous Florida Urgent Alert  e mail that misrepresented the Senate's temporary exposure bill as being the open carry bill as well.

That time I didn't bother to check the bill and I fell for the misrepresentation hook, line, and sinker.

As pointed out to me by another member SB 646 is NOT actually an open carry bill, but rather another temporary exposure bill that reduces the penalty for exposure to a 25 dollar fine which is why I edited the thread title to open "carrying".

Marion Hammer fooled me again.

SB 646 was originally going to decriminalize Open Carry. The original bill was you can't arrested and you'd pay a $25 fee to the clerk of court. At the last minute back on March 7 Sen. Steube added two amendments to it. One made it to where it was now a three strike deal. First time violation is a $25 fee, second is a $500 fee, and the third is a 2nd Degree Misdemeanor. The second Amendment to the bill carved out a special provision for all of the Legislature to conceal carry. 

Marion Hammer wasn't even at the Capitol back on March 7 when SB 646 was originally scheduled for committee.
