florida handgun laws

[mbpe912]

First off I am a LEO with the one of the biggest agency in the Tampa Bay Area. You are legally ok. I tell my friends the best thing to do is for it to be in a holster in the glove box, or center consul. However I advise that if you keep it in the glove box do not keep your paper work in there. Also if I ask you if you have a gun in the car tell me. If You tell me no and I find out later you have one, I will go from nice guy to total dick in about .02 seconds. If you tell me about it I more at ease. When I find a gun I am asking the dispatcher if you have any felony CONVICTIONS!!!! Any more questions....

ok well i read the part where its legal to carry without permit when you have the gun encased in something in the truck, so i will just make sure its in the carrying case under the seat.

however i havent found where it says you only have to be 18 to legally do that or do you have to be 21 or is 21 only to get a ccw.Anyone know if 18 is legal to carry the gun in a case in the truck with me

Why do you want to carry a pistol in your truck so bad?? If its in an enclosed case its not much of a help when it comes to self defense.

Here's an interesting question to go along with all of this....

I am waiting for my Florida CCW license to show up.

Right now I can have the weapon in the car, in my house and I can CC in my business. Moving from the house to the car, no big deal I have a big fenced yard and it would go unnoticed. How do I legally move the weapon from my car into my business ? I don't want to "let everyone know" as a result of me carrying a case into the building.

i understand that i want to know if i can keep it in my truck so when i am on the ranch which i am on all the time and then go into town and have no where to put it once i leave the ranch if i can keep it in my truck in a case with me being only 18

i dont care about having it in the truck for SD in my town i hardly would use it if ever at all, but i come across certain animals and varmits i need to kill and i want something that i can carry easy and not a big shotgun
