Fatboy, you're absolutely right about there being only one true way to know for sure. I intend to test the waters in early April. I understand I will be standing all alone and the laughing stock of shooters everywhere if I fail.
Fritz Pierce ruling still stands today, as it has never been overturned and is still tested against, as you saw in Gilio.
If you ask the police they can provide you with some arrest information for unlawful carry. Might be worth doing that research before spending money on a defense attorney.
