The Dale Norman open carry case in Florida has been appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Most cases that are appealed to the Supreme Court are refused.
The case started back in 2012, when Dale Lee Norman walked down the street with his pistol showing. He had recently obtained his concealed carry permit, and did not realize that his firearm was completely exposed.
He was convicted of the open carry of a firearm. His case was appealed to the 4th Circuit court of appeals. The state Advocate General fought very hard to keep the case from being appealed. The case made it all the way to the Florida Supreme Court which ruled against Norman, 4-2, in a mixed decision. From news4jax.com:
....... 
There is much to suggest that courts effectively seem to delight in putting off final judgements on cases concerning the Second Amendment. For law abiding people, permits to carry their firearm should not even be required and the decision over mode of carry should be personal - which is not to say that open carry is always the most sensible decision depending on carry environment. Much has changed for the better with CCW but there still remains a lot of improvement to be achieved yet.
