I'm newish to Florida, and I'm sorry if I'm asking something that has been answered a thousand times already.
There is lots of good info on the site about handguns, but I'm unclear about carrying long guns in vehicles and on foot in Florida.
Please could someone explain in simple terms without getting into weird exceptions?
I'm not asking about handguns, only long guns.
To illustrate, for example I leave home with several big and small bore, modern and antique, rifles and shotguns and ammo in my pickup, buy gas and swing by a 7-11 for some sodas. Shoot for a time at the range then stop by a big shopping mall on my way home to buy replacement ammo for what I have just used. Then leaving the guns in the truck go to visit a friend at her house for a few hours.
I tend to keep my best long guns in gun socks rather than hard shell cases so they don't sweat, but some are in big hardside plastic cases. I even have an air rifle.
I realize that is probably a lot of superfluous irrelevant information, but better too much than too little.
