I would not store the pistol in the car at all. A crackhead will be able to read your facial expression unnoticed when you step out of your car and will instantly be able to tell whether there is anything of value in the car. Trust me, this is Florida and not some other wussy state. Keep your piece on you at ALL times. Here in Florida something crazy happens EVERYDAY whether it makes the news or not. Usually it is violent. Something that makes the news in your hometown is simply a daily occurrence for me.
Welcome to Florda.

I hope your attemping to be humorous. If not this is the dumbest post I have ever read(ok it is at least in the top ten). I have lived here(Hillsborough county)for approx 25 years and have traveled most of the lower 48 states extensively. The Tampa bay area is no better or worse that any other large city or municipality in regards to crime. Additionally the local crackheads don't have amazing powers of perception Xray vision or facial expression car contents equating abilities. Then again I don't run with the $gAnGsTA(_;_)wOrLd$ crowd, their crackheads may be more advanced than the run of the mill crackheads. But I somehow doubt it. I won't even get into the legalities of your advice in this post or others you have made.
