I am trying to find out from some locals on what seems to be a rather gray area to me (I am trying to find out for my older sister who recently moved from GA to Orlando).
Reading FL Statute Title XLVI, Chapter 790, Paragraph 5 it says that a pistol can be "securely encased" (among other things);
790.001 Definitions - has (17) "Securely encased" means in a glove compartment, whether or not locked; snapped in a holster; in a gun case, whether or not locked; in a zippered gun case; or in a closed box or container which requires a lid or cover to be opened for access.
My gray area is the "snapped in a holster." Does this mean that it would have to have a holster that something physically comes over the back end of the weapon (for instance a leather strap that wraps around the back side of the grip and snaps on the holster), or would a SERPA holster work where nothing actually coves the back end of the pistol, but it does snap into place?
I know, you are not lawyers and you can only give me your best interpretation, but I know my interpretation, I just wonder since I am not there, what do people in the area do. She will be getting her concealed license there if that makes any difference.
