Guy is arrested for open carry of a pistol, but just received his CCW that very day. State precedent says CCW is a privilege, not a right. State is pushing forward with prosecution.

Briefs have been filed by Norman, Florida, and now Norman's reply is in. The state's position makes this a case to watch. They are not claiming that shall-issue CCW satisfies the right; simply that a ban on OC is a reasonable regulation(they say it over and over again with no evidence).
This is currently in a FL appeals court.
The State argues that because reasonable regulation of the right to bear arms
is allowed, and because the State believes the regulation at issue to be reasonable,
the ban on open carry passes constitutional muster.
