From an earlier post:

Anywhere the firearm is in plain view. Holstered on your body, on the dash board, laying on the passenger seat etc. Arizona law also says keeping a hand gun in the glove box, or center console is still considered open carry. If you choose either of the two places, keep your information elswhere (clipped to your sunshade) And technically if the firearm is holstered, it can be anywhere in the vehicle,even concealed. Seeing that it takes two steps to access the firearm. I would stay clear of this option though, too many gray area's. You best bet it to keep it holstered to your body

IIRC, under the seat even in a holster is still considered Concealed and NothavingaPermit is gonna get you in trouble for it. IANAL, but I seem to remember this from CWP class, Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for the info. Thats the way I read it to. I was just wondering if the info had been out dated. I know that last year they passed a law in az that being caught without a CC permit if you had a CC weapon on you was just a misdemenor. I carry the reg. book in the truck with me at all times with the pages marked pertaing to auto carry.
