Quick clarification on CWP carry in a vehicle

For some reason I keep getting emails asking for clarification on how a CWP holder can carry in a vehicle.  The confusion is whether they must carry "securely encased" or can they carry some other way under their CWP, as long as the firearm is concealed.   My opinion is that the law is very clear that you have a choice of doing it either way.  790.06 (the CWP section) and 790.25(5)  (the securely encased section) work completely independent of each other.  So -- the choice is yours.  Either way -- with a valid CWP --  my opinion is you're totally legal as long as it's not a prohibited area.

Hope that helps.
