OTIS FOWLER, JR., APPELLANT,
v.
ELSA FOWLER, APPELLEE
PER CURIAM.
Otis Fowler, Jr. appeals that portion of the final judgment of dissolution of the parties’ marriage holding him in contempt for failure to deliver their child to his wife. The contempt order contained elements of both criminal and civil contempt. Since the court did not comply with Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.840, that aspect of the order holding appellant in criminal contempt must be reversed. Accordingly, we hereby modify paragraph 13 of the final judgment to provide only that appellant is deemed guilty of civil contempt for failure to comply with the court’s previous orders, and that he is hereby sentenced to the Hillsborough County Jail until such time as the minor child of the parties is returned to appellee.
BOARDMAN, A.C.J., and GRIMES and OTT, JJ., concur.

Bell v. State, 636 So. 2d 80 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994)…ires the opening of a lid for access. In fact, it can be said that Bell’s revolver was more securely encased than required by the statute because it was underneath items in the closed console. Bell notes that this court’s opinion in Cates v. State, 408 So. 2d 797 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983), appears to be in conflict with Swift. We disagree. In Cates, the firearm was found in a vehicle console whose lid was ajar, whereas the lids of the consoles in Swift and in this case were closed. We hold that the trial court err…

Those actions by a handgun user require some lapse of time and pause for thought — events the legislature anticipated in carving out this exception to the proscription of the concealed gun law.2 In the recent case of Cates v. State, 408 So. 2d 797 (Fla. 2d DCA 1982), Judge Grimes, writing for this court, provides a comprehensive analysis of this exception to the concealed gun statute, the difficulties it has presented for our citizens and courts, and, together with the concurring remarks of J…
