Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Tjhat a portion of an unidentified object may be in plain view and yet a reasonable inference can be raised that the unseen portion is such that the object is a concealed firearm within the content of Section 790.01 Fla.Stat. (1977). The question the trial judge must ask in ruling on a motion to dismiss in this type of case is whether the firearm could have been concealed from the ordinary sight of another person and thus not be recognized as a firearm. (Emphasis supplied.)”
