Florida B.S. Thread

Last time I went to a meet everyone but like 2 trucks got hit with tickets for driving up the sand hills on some of the roads they just leveled. Oops.

 

From what I read either in a snap holster or "securely encased". Which means in a glovebox should suffice.

 

I find it humorous when ppl tell me that there is a 3 step rule if the firearm is in the car.

 

3 steaps jim. Reach is one step, open compartment is 2 and three is grab.

 

lol 90% of the time its still on my hip.

 

Funny, because my CWP instructor told me 3 steps, so have other officers, deputies, and friends. Hmm.

I sure am! I may be a more cautious about going down closed roads but it's certainly not going to stop me from going. I've been driving around the Citrus WMA for over 5 years and this is the first time I've gotten in trouble. Gotta pay to play I suppose.

 

I read the link but in the Florida statute it does not state the ammo and firearm must be stored separate.

 

I started going to T.H. in 1994.. Never saw anyone get a ticket till this year. Now they need the $$$ Drove all over the woods at five mile pond, quail hunting , Try that now!!!

 

This just in from DC.....Aspirin to be taxed at 100%...They are white and they work,,No other reason was given ... Jim

 

I never said anything about them being seperate?

 

Thanks for the confirmation, rmb!

Thanks for the response!

Glad I ordered the Maxpedition CCW holster then. Hoping it will work for my Sig in the center console.

Normally when they refer to 3 step they mean the gun and loaded mag must be separate.

 

Uhm.. Never heard of that. it's three steps no matter what the order. it can be loaded ready to fire. As long as there is a three step process to have it in your hand ready to shoot.

 

Hate to burst the three step bubble here but there is nothing in any law book that pertains to a "three step process or rule." Law says it has to be securely encased. That means glove box, center console etc. As long as it is snapped. It does not even have to be in a holster in the glove box or center console as long as it can be closed securely and not "unsecured." trust me I have put people in prison over this and people have beat me in court over this. If you have any questions about securing a firearm in your car please ask me. I was on an ATF task force for illegal guns in Orlando and took cases Federal. Also, another misnomer is that guns have to be registered. The only guns that have to be registered are short barrel shotguns and fully automatic rifles.

 

On Another note Happy F%^&*$#@ New Year!!!! (Please do not discharge firearms within City Limits or you may be subject to prosecution, Do not point any fireworks in the general direction of the Ghetto Bird...)enough for the disclaimer got out and have fun!!!!!!!!

 

lol thanks for the disclaimers

 

. You were right about the law by the way

 

i make sure i am doing the right thing when i carry. if i am going to get questioned about the rules i make sure i know them.

 

A good resource for me then
