Reviewed by Michael P. Maddux, Esq. | Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer | Florida Super Lawyer for 16 Consecutive YearsFlorida law does not ban firearms at protests or demonstrations held on public streets or sidewalks. If a person is legally allowed to possess a firearm, they may carry it in public places that are not specifically prohibited by law.

Firearms are not allowed in certain locations, including police stations, courthouses, polling places, government meetings, schools, athletic events, and bars. These restrictions apply regardless of whether a protest is taking place.

In Florida, the legality of carrying a firearm depends on the location, not the event itself. Understanding where firearms are prohibited is key to staying within the law.
