Saw the post where they said "Most states its illegal to have loaded gun in car. WELL not in FLORIDA, nor do ya have to tell a cop that your carrying or have a loaded gun in your car
It is not necessary to have a license or permit to carry a loaded firearm in a private vehicle, so long as the gun is "securely encased". Florida law defines a weapon as being securely encased if the firearm is in a glove compartment, whether or not locked, in a snapped holster (not worn on your body!), in a zippered gun case or in a box or other container that requires a lid or cover to be lifted or opened in order to gain access to the firearm. These restrictions do not apply to any person who holds a valid Florida Concealed Weapon License or a reciprocal state license/permit.
There is no legal requirement that a licensee inform an officer that he/she is armed; however, prudence and common sense would indicate that it's certainly a good idea. It's better for the officer to hear it from _you_ first, because if he runs your Florida Drivers License he WILL be informed "Caution! Subject has Concealed Weapons License." by the dispatcher.

If you're 16 y.o. or older - noone will notice if you walk around with a rifle or shotgun.
Nor is there any special requirements as to how they're stored.
It is advertised though, that ammo and guns are in two separate rooms - but not required.
Don't do anything that I've allready done - That'd be just plain STOOOOOOPID.
