There is no 3-step rule.
(ETA: Whoever has told you that is someone you should not take information from which, when incorrect, will land you in jail.
In fact, you shouldn't take advice from anyone, including this forum, which, if incorrect, will land you in jail.
Know the law. Read up. If you're going to carry a gun, get an attorney. Read Gutmacher's Florida Firearms Law.)
FL law says 'securely encased.' That's it.
In the glove box, latched.
In the console, latched.
You don't mention whether or not you have your CWFL. That gives you lots more options.
