???- are these no gun zones on private property enforceable in Florida?

Florida law on concealed weapons does not prohibit carrying concealed weapons in self-declared gun free zones on private property. However, if the owner/operator of the property discerns that you are carrying, he can order you to leave, and if you fail to do so you can be arrested for trespassing. (This is not legal advice.)
A full list of places where carrying a concealed weapon is prohibited is at

Note that places that primarily serve alcoholic beverages is explicitly off limits.
One provision of the statute is "(b) A person licensed under this section shall not be prohibited from carrying or storing a firearm in a vehicle for lawful purposes."
Get real, people. People carry guns in cars. Virtually every police car you see has some kind of long gun in the trunk.
