Question
Is it legal to carry a rifle(unloaded) in the gun rack of a vehicle? In the
back window because it would be in view of public  

Answer
Brian,

Thanks for asking. Here are the Florida gun laws for your review.

I believe this part is applicable to your question:

A firearm other than a handgun may be carried anywhere in a private conveyance when such firearm is being carried for a lawful use.

Best regards,

Dan
