Does a Florida LEO have to identify themselves as an officer, even when off-duty, if they are asked by a citizen? What exception would allow them to not answer the question?

No LEO except when doing very specific things has to identify themselves as a LEO.
I know not what this "overkill" means.
Honing the knives, Cleaning the longguns, Stocking up ammo.
If they are in some act of duty of a LEO they would have to identify themselves as LEO but generally being asked by someone, no.

Not actually true. LEO's are not required to identify themselves as such, either on, or off, duty. Obviously there are some situations where it is best to do so, but it is never required. Dope dealers and buyers have believed for decades that if they ask you if you are a police officer, and you are, then you must tell them so. Absolute bunk. However, the self-perpetuating myth has served narcs extremely well over the years.
