Florida law provides for the legal carry of an encased handgun in a private vehicle without any need for a permit. Specifically,
Section 790.25(5), states that "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."
Anyone know how "interior of a private conveyance" would be interpreted for a motorcycle, since there really isn't an interior? Would it be legal to have a handgun in the saddlebag of a motorcycle (or on a horse, for that matter)?
