Publix Now Allows Open Carry of Firearms in Florida
TL;DR
Following a court ruling that invalidated Florida's 40-year open carry ban, some Publix stores in Florida now permit customers to openly carry firearms, including in stores with alcohol service areas like 'Publix Pours,' which also offer on-site alcohol consumption. However, state law still prohibits carrying firearms in establishments primarily serving alcohol, raising questions about the legality of open carry in these specific Publix locations. Some other grocery chains continue to prohibit firearms in their stores.
