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.

The above underlined can now be as simple as a cigar box or your center console. No locking up is necessary. It can be locked and loaded, it just cannot be out in the open. Before I had my Concealed I carried under my seat in a drawer. Cops knew I had it there because I told them (once when I had an audience of four of them... that's another story) Point is I was within the law. And it was well within reach.
Florida gun laws rock!

"Backers, led by Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., say truckers and others with concealed weapons permits should be able to protect themselves when they cross into other states. Opponents say the measure would force states with strict procedures for getting permits to accept permits from states with more lax laws"

Hope this goes through and take the hassle out of travel.
