Dale Norman v. State
District Court of Appeal of Florida (2015) | 159 So. 3d 205; 2015 Fla. App. LEXIS 2178; 2015 WL 669582
TL;DR: The court upheld Florida's statutory ban on openly carrying firearms, finding it constitutional under the Second Amendment because the state provides a licensing scheme for concealed carry, thus regulating only the *manner* of bearing arms.
Legal Significance: This case affirms a state's power to regulate the manner of bearing arms by prohibiting open carry, provided a reasonable alternative (like licensed concealed carry) exists, applying intermediate scrutiny to such Second Amendment challenges.
