There are some 18 year olds more mature then 48 year olds.. Just remember after you pull the trigger it isn't come back.. I usually am more passive when carrying, No road rage, no arguing ect.... try to avoid all situations and walk away. I dont know the flordia laws
As mentioned before by another poster
He can legally possess it in his vehicle as long as it is encased, a center console or glove box will suffice. It does not say that it has to be unloaded therefore it is not illegal.(5) POSSESSION IN PRIVATE CONVEYANCE.--Notwithstanding subsection (2), it is lawful and is not
a violation of s. 790.01 for a person 18 years of age or older to possess a concealed firearm or other weapon
for self-defense or other lawful purpose within the interior of a private conveyance, without a license, if the
firearm or other weapon is securely encased or is otherwise not readily accessible for immediate use.
Nothing herein contained prohibits the carrying of a legal firearm other than a handgun anywhere in a private
conveyance when such firearm is being carried for a lawful use. Nothing herein contained shall be construed
to authorize the carrying of a concealed firearm or other weapon on the person. This subsection shall be
liberally construed in favor of the lawful use, ownership, and possession of firearms and other weapons,
including lawful self-defense as provided in s. 776.012.
Thats how it works in PA.. And in NJ you better have a permit, theres a guy now might do 3 years because he crossed into jersey from PA ..
In Texas anybody that can legally own a handgun can carry a loaded concealed firearm in their vehicle without a concealed carry license,Texas also issues CHL licenses to 18 or older if they are in the military.
Sounds like living in a City that not only steps all over peoples rights but tries to restrict them more everyday makes you forget there is a reason why we fought the British and gained our independence.Bloomberg must be a descendent of Lord Cornwall and seems to fiorget we have a Constitution

Pythius, please, I respect your views, but if you are going to make assumptions and not read the whole discussion, stop. There is no omission in our law in this subject, it is clear, in fact, it has already been posted in this thread.
Yep, loaded, chambered round, all that stuff we do to protect ourselves. As was stated before, and as can be found in FL statutes, private conveyance is an extension of the home, so with the exception of actually having it in our waistband or in our hand, we can do with it pretty much as we see fit.

As we used to teach in the spook business, carry a 25 if it makes you feel good, but do not ever load it. If you load it you may shoot it. If you shoot it you may hit somebody, and if you hit somebody - and he finds out about it - he may be very angry with you. -- Jeff Cooper

As I've posted before, securely encased is defined as in a snapped holster, a "closed" glovebox or console compartment, a zipped case, a box, or practically anything else that that requires it to be opened. It cannot be openly displayed, nor can it be "on the person" without a permit.
