Three men spotted strolling with AR-15s slung around their necks in Melbourne Beach were briefly questioned by police before it was determined that they were going out to fish.
In Florida, it is legal for anyone fishing, camping or hunting to openly carry a firearm. Similar episodes with open carry or Second Amendment gun advocates have taken place across the nation in recent years, with law enforcement agents often called to investigate.
In the Melbourne Beach case, officers talked with the unidentified men, spotted their lightweight AR-15s coupled with their fishing poles and allowed them to walk on toward Ocean Park.
One of the men later planted the flag in the sand along the shoreline as beach-goers went about their business. The men then appeared to fish for a few moments before leaving, police reported.
