so im curious lol can i carry a fixed blade in florida as long as it is not hidden?
Apparently, yes.

The reason for the distinction between open and concealed carry is the idea that if you are carrying a concealed weapon, it's not "fair" to the would-be instigator (whether it's someone picking a fight with you, or someone trying to rob you). After all, the instigator may choose to not fight or rob you if he knows that you're carrying a weapon. But if your weapon is open visible to all, then the instigator knows exactly what he's getting into, and, perhaps, deserves the consequences of his acions.
