Quoted: FL law states that you can carry a firearm in a vehicle if it is "securely encased" meaning in a closed container or something like that. Not sure about a motorcycle, buy you'd be able to keep the rifle in a case like that right across the front seat of a car.

that's for handguns.
rifles: here's the concept with rifles, back in the day longguns WERE long thus officers wern't scared 'cuse they could see 'it' if they pulled you over, part two was you couldn't move the longgun around IN a vehicle. now a'days things are a little different, longguns arn't really long anymore. as for a vehicle just as long as you
can't get it in to action from inside the vehicle your ok(the S.S. says about the same thing just worded better) but thats about how it works(i dont feel like looking it up tonight) as for a bike: "YOU CAN BE ARRESTED FOR ANYTHING"! at anytime, its up to the D.A. / S.A. ... transporting to and from a range is ok.. you maybe stopped and asked, i would recomend no mag in gun, even leave you mags unloaded(just load them at the range) and bag it.. even the most asshatted person/officer would think your being responsible.. walk the walk, talk the talk.. then do your own thing... this is just a advice, you can do what you want, you could do (don't hate me for saying this') call and ask your local pd/so and ask what would make them happy, there is alot of back woods around(good'ol'boys) who dont care..(it's also a way to cya{get officers name})... sorry to say this, id probably just say F' it and put it in my ( generic term' assalt) rifle bag, and ride into the sun... it's not like you can hide it...... confusing/ mis-pelling rant over... aza
P.S. ask again when i've had sleep.. i'll look it up, it's in[s.s.] 790.XXX some place.
