Florida's Law Banning Open Carry May Be Going to the U.S. Supreme Court

The 1893 statute we need to trace the history of is ch. 4928 banning open carry of firearms without a license, approved June 2, 1893.  The Florida State Senate journals for 1893 are here.  Can some of you grab a day (usually just a few pages) and look for this bill?  In comments, identify what day you are reading, and report back discoveries.
