Florida Statute section 394.458 states that “except as authorized by law†it is a third degree felony for any person to bring, carry, possess, or transport a “firearm or other dangerous weapon†Upon the grounds of any “hospital (or mental health facility) providing mental health services.â€

Authorized = CWL ?Likewise, Florida Statute 790.06(12) lists all the places a person cannot carry a firearm with a CWL and hospitals or mental facilities are not on this list. A good argument could be made that it is legal to carry a weapon with a CWL in places where the statute doesn’t prohibit the act.
There are no court decisions on the matter, therefore I cannot recommend someone bring a firearm inside a hospital with complete certainty. It is likely the issue will be addressed either by the legislature or by a court soon, which will give us all a clearer answer.
Authorized as in police or Federal agent. As if they'd let us lowly CCW holders our full rights.joker223 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 6:41 pmSkoll wrote: ↑Mon Feb 11, 2019 11:05 pm https://www.guntrustlawyer.com/can-i-br ... n-florida/
