The Senate President said no.... the reason why is shocking.
Senate President Kathleen Passidomo stated that she's against Open Carry because she doesn't know anything and has the Florida Sheriffs tell her what to think. So, since they're against Open Carry, she's against Open Carry.
What you have is very dangerous because you have law enforcement, dictating to lawmakers, how laws should be written. Laws that directly affect the common citizen that are crafted in a way that empower law enforcement to harass/arrest the common citizen.
Mind you, the Sheriffs are now claiming they don't have an official stance on Open Carry, even though during a previous committee meeting they said they're against it.
