I let my CCW lapse - doh! I may sign up again. I forget if secured, like in a case, also means unloaded.

I though in a car,under the seat and not quickly accessible.

Florida law changed recently. It used to be if someone was retreating & your life was not threatened, you had to back down but that supposedly changed.

What is neat is the law has always been if you see someone being harmed, you can come to their defense and shoot. Just like this example. The hero should have no problems.

I think it is if someone was being harmed or a felonty attack was occuring. I need to check it.

“I forget if secured, like in a case, also means unloaded.”

No, in a zippered case is enough. Closed glove box is also ok. Does not need to be unloaded.

“Florida law changed recently. “

It did, you aren’t required to retreat if your life is in danger.

“I think it is if someone was being harmed or a felonty attack was occuring. I need to check it.”

Always a good idea to keep up to date. I try.

Oh yeah, under the seat is NOT adequate. There has to be more than one action required. Opening something for example to access the firearm. Reaching under the seat does not quality according to my training. Also a poor place cause it may slide around and not be where you expect. IMHO.
