Florida Statute 790.25  Lawful ownership, possession, and use of firearms and other weapons.--


................blah, blah, blah..........blah, blah, blah.......................

(5)  POSSESSION IN PRIVATE CONVEYANCE.--Notwithstanding subsection (2), 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. Nothing herein contained prohibits the carrying of a legal firearm other than a handgun anywhere in a private conveyance when such firearm is being carried for a lawful use. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to authorize the carrying of a concealed firearm or other weapon on the person. This subsection shall be liberally construed in favor of the lawful use, ownership, and possession of firearms and other weapons, including lawful self-defense as provided in s. 776.012.

Those laws are so idiotic.  Why the hell shouldn't a person who is old enough to drive (a deadlier weapon), be allowed to possess a pistol?

The gov't sure put that Beretta in my hand at the age of 17 once I entered the Army.

Where's the gov't complaint dept!?!?

Federal law concerns FFL holders. At 18 you may legally purchase rifles and shotguns from a FFL holder. You man purchase a handgun from a private individual but not from a FFL holder untill you reach 21 years of age.
