Not to beat a dead horse, but this is from 2016 statutes, check out 18, I think this changed based on the 2011 article but not sure when

If it were legal, there would be no reason for the new legislation. Based on the last article I posted, it might become legal in July if it passes thru.

It has to be encased at an airport in FL even to check it in.

I am very aware at all times of what weapons may be in my vehicle, bags or on my person.. There are a lot of places that my job takes me where I am not allowed to carry despite my CWP. It's important to me that I follow the laws governing the possession of weapons. Having said that, it's much easier to accidentally carry a weapon into an airport than most people realize. Even law enforcement is aware that it is usually an accident. My friends that are officers say no one freaks out when they find a weapon in a carryon.
Some people travel by vehicle a lot and place a weapon in their bag for protection. Then one day your plans change to flying and it's early in the morning, you are tired and in a hurry and you forget that you have a weapon at the bottom of that bag. It happens. In that case the weapon is not actually a threat to anyone. There is no intent or desire to harm. The media and the non-owning public make a bigger deal out of the event than it deserves.

Everyone always said that there was something like a '3 movement' rule, so glove compartment was no good, but trunk was ok. Apparently that's BS. Didn't matter if you have a CWP anyway.

That was a myth about a number of movements rule. The law is wrote kind of vague and its case law that mostly controls on that I think. I know some people who don't have a license that actually carry the case law ruling around with them because cops are even bad for making faulty arrests on it sometimes.
This is what Wiki says on it and I think that is about right. If you have it in a snapped holster I think it should be out of view also like under a seat to avoid issues. I can't remember the ruling on a case like that but people have issues with cops it seems if the thing is right there where they could use it without opening a glove box etc.
- Handguns – must be either "securely encased" -F.S.S.790.25(3)(l) Some cite this as a grey area or risky- or not immediately available for use.[20] "Securely encased" means in a glove compartment, whether or not locked; snapped in a holster; in a gun case, whether or not locked; in a zippered gun case; or in a closed box or container which requires a lid or cover to be opened for access.[21] Carry of a Handgun on one's person inside a vehicle without a license is not permitted (except in the case of open carry in accordance with the law outlined above). Once a handgun is securely encased, it can be stored anywhere inside the vehicle and is not limited to just the glove compartment/center console.
- Long Guns – a legal firearm other than a handgun may be anywhere in a private conveyance when such firearm is being carried for a lawful use.[22]

Actually one CAN open carry in Florida.... When go to or returning from lawful hunting or fishing. But I'm not one to push the issue, If it's carried openly everyone knows who has a gun, Especially the bad guys..... Concealed they have to guess a bit :)

My new favorite poster!!! I'm an NRA Life Member (Endowment level). I have a gun range on my mountain property (in western Virginia) and many of my CG buddies shoot out there (a few are weapons instructors).

I could see it being hard to get a jury to convict in a case like his.

I'm thinking about joining GOA, but I might just up my NRA level to Patron. Good for you! I own a handful, I wouldn't say "a lot". I just got a new concealed carry S&W M&P Shield that I haven't shot yet.
