Technically the law does indicate this is true the way it is written, however this is a very legally 'iffy' idea. I would not recommend trying it out.

I know we have had this discussion before, so I will just say this; Every LEO I know will arrest a CHL holder for UCW if they discover an illegal knife or club on or about that CHL holders person.

What is going to be the charge? "Unlawfully carrying a weapon lawfully"? Since 46.02 "does not apply" to someone with a handgun and a CHL what are you going to charge them with?

Right or wrong, how much will it cost to defend yourself in court?

And what is going to cost a LEO to defend against a Federal civil rights trial, an illegal arrest and a charge of official oppression? Or do you think the cop shop will pay for it?

I think Florida is like that; if you can conceal it, you can carry it.

Currently you can carry an "illegal knive" or club with you if you have a CHL and are carrying a handgun. You can carry a "sawed off shotgun" if it is registered under NFA.
