Luellen told the officer he had a Georgia driver's license but didn't have it with him, and a records check showed Luellen's Florida license had been suspended since May 2019, the report said.
The report said Luellen had a handgun between his shoes and another on the floorboard behind the passenger seat. Both were fully loaded, the report said.
Luellen said he had a concealed weapons permit card, but a records check showed it had been suspended for unknown reasons, the report said.

"I advised Joshua that he was in violation of his CCW permit by having the firearms within reach and not secured in the glove box or encased in a box inside the vehicle," the officer wrote in the report.
