Publix, one of Florida’s most popular grocery chains, is now allowing customers across the state to openly carry guns due to a recent court ruling, employees say.

Florida began allowing open carry on Sept. 25 after an appeals court overturned the state’s ban on openly carrying firearms, deeming it unconstitutional. Under the law, businesses and other private property owners have the option of banning open carry.

Publix, which has a large presence in Florida with more than 900 stores, has opted to allow it, according to many of those who work there. Call a local Publix and you’re likely to be told people can now carry guns into the store.
