times are a changing, i have never carried a pistol before but want to start.
i always use a fanny pack as my wallet and it is the perfect place for a small
pistol so what is the law here in florida in order to do this? what do i have to
do to be legal? can i use it in self defense or to help someone else who is
being harmed?

I do not believe hospitals are off limits unless they changed the regulations recently.

To carry on your person, as you put it, 24/7, you will need to acquire a concealed carry license, FSS 790.06. When you review that specific statute, 790.06 (12)(a) covers the areas that you are prohibited, by law, from carrying concealed. Note: Hospitals are not restricted areas.
As far as carry in your home, no license is needed.
Carry in your private conveyance also does NOT require any special licensing. FSS 790.25(5), 790.251 cover these areas. You can carry in your vehicle so long as the firearm is not readably accessible or is securely encased. These two terms are defined in 790.001 as to their legal definitions.
There are other statutes that cover open carry of firearms. Although Florida is not an OC state, 790.053, there are certain statutes and circumstances where OC is allowed, such as: FSS 790.25 (3) (a-o) These statutes cover open carry while at gun ranges, going to and from a store that sells firearms, gunsmith locations, hunting, fishing, camping etc,.
Again, familiarize yourself with Chapter 790. Peruse through the statutes and educate yourself on the laws of this state.
Be safe!
