Can I carry a concealed weapon in my car without a permit?

· Updated

Yes. Under Florida's "private conveyance" law, an eligible adult can have a firearm in their vehicle. However, the weapon must be "securely encased" (in a glove box, holster with a strap, or closed box) or not readily accessible for immediate use. If you are stopped by police in Broward County, it is often wise to inform the officer of the firearm's presence if it is near your identification documents.
