Janet Reno, Assistant State Attorney for Dade County at the time, called on the legislature to close what she called a loophole in the new statewide carry laws and outright ban Open Carry throughout the state. Having just lost their fight against Shall-Issue concealed carry, the future US Attorney General, a handful of Florida Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, and newspapers statewide went on the offensive to call for a special session of the legislature to close what they dubbed the “Dodge City Loophole”.
Interestingly, the blood did not run in the streets and there were no shoot outs over fender benders as she predicted at the time. perhaps now we can, with some definitive measure, proclaim her a reactionary fool.

I think that's giving her more credit than she deserves.
