Yeah that’s why I just tell folks to look up castle doctrine (if they’re in Florida like me, since different states have different rules/laws). The keeping it locked up in a compartment applied to the three step method but that was never an actual thing though.That's news to me. I was told the "secured" thing in all my trainings.
Here's what a quick search turned up:
With a Concealed Weapon and Firearm License (CWFL) or recognized out of state equivalent, in a private car, there is no restriction on how you can carry your handgun, as long as it is concealed. This means that no part of the firearm is visible to the eye. Contrary to popular belief, there is NO three step law in the state of Florida to access your firearm in a vehicle.
Without a CWFL or recognized out of state equivalent in a private vehicle, the handgun must be securely encased or not readily accessible. Securely encased includes carrying a loaded handgun in a holster which closes over the handgun (not a pressure holster and not on your person), glove compartment, gun case or a closed container. Not readily accessible means locked in the trunk or vehicle storage compartment.
In a life or death situation why go through extra steps to protect yourself or your family?
