They also regulate the automotive repair industry. :D

Maybe it was like a key party in the 70s


I would say go with getting a CCW, the class/test in florida is pathetically easy
 
Spunky,

Avoid the hassles, even if you are correct. Get a FL CCW permit, then this question is a moot point. One way or the other you're gonna have to pay.

Because when the law was enacted, they were the only licensing agency in the state that had the built-in capacity to handle issuing the permits.
 
Right it is not spelled out in 790.25 (n). Therefore ambiguous and bad hair. Definitely need Legal on this baby.

It is spelled out here, F.S.790.25(3)(n) and case law, State v Anton, 700 So. 2d 743 (Fla. 2DCA 1977)

The statute you quote is the same one we've been talking about already. Although it authorizes unlicensed concealed carry in a place of business, I'm concerned whether the fact that the "place of business" is also a vehicle might add some legal complexity to the issue.

As for State v. Anton, as far as I can tell, that ruling simply expanded the "place of business" definition to include "buildings and structures thereon". That doesn't directly address the "vehicle as a 'place of business'" issue either.

But, if it is legal in a place of business, and it is also legal in a vehicle, then why would the conjunction be illegal?

Because the statute that says that unlicensed concealed carry is legal in a vehicle specifies a "private conveyance". I wouldn't bet my freedom, bank account or clean criminal record that "private conveyance" would necessarily include an ice-cream truck actively being used for business reasons.
 
ScottRiqui, IIRC from my Florida days, the issue when the vehicle is NOT your private conveyance is that you have to have permission from its owner to have a loaded handgun in the vehicle. IE, to have it in the company car, it must be ok with the boss.

The OP is the business and vehicle owner.

It is possible I remember things incorrectly, and I agree the two best courses are to get the permit, and/or consult an attorney, but I doubt there is an issue in this instance.

Place of business is a building or land the business leases or owns. Ice cream truck isn't generally going to cut it. If she owns the vehicle and it's not for hire, she can't carry, but she can have it in there, as long as it's either "securely encased", or not "readily accessible".
