Florida’s New Open Carry Law: What You Need to Know Before You Holster (or Host)

Florida’s new open carry law has arrived — and it’s causing quite a stir. In this Halloween-themed episode of Wine by the Case, attorneys Alexis Sensenig and Chris Rosenberg trade their legal briefs for pirate hats and Alice-in-Wonderland flair to unpack what this new legislation means for everyday Floridians, employers, and businesses.

As they sip the bold and beautifully complex Maison Noir “In Sheep’s Clothing” Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley) — a Washington State red with notes of dark cherry, chocolate, and cedar — Alexis and Chris explore how what’s legal and what’s wise can look very different.

In This Episode:

• What open carry really means in Florida.
  How does this new law differ from concealed carry — and what rights and responsibilities come with it?

• Can private businesses say “no guns allowed”?
  From Publix to private offices, Alexis and Chris break down when business owners can set their own firearm policies.

• Liability, insurance, and HR implications.
  What happens if an incident occurs on your property or at your workplace? The duo dives into the fine print of risk management and employee handbooks.

“Just because something is legal doesn’t mean it’s a good idea,” Alexis quips. “Especially when you add wine to the mix.”

Whether you’re an employer, business owner, or concerned citizen, this episode offers a spirited mix of law, laughter, and legal logic — served with a side of Cabernet and common sense.
