Before I email the Attorney General's office, I'd like to ask everyone on here their opinion.
My friend and I just finished the CC class at Bluegrass range in Louisville. The instructor was good, having been a deputy and currently competing in various IDPA style matches, among other credentials.
The subject of open carry came up, partly at my request. He pointed out that open carry in a vehicle is illegal and many people have been arrested/convicted of concealed carry without a permit from doing so, and that is why the 'glovebox' allowance was enacted.
Now I took issue to this, possibly to my embarassment...but I understand it's not illegal provided you're not trying to hide it in any way and it is in plain sight. He made it very clear it is illegal and I *will* go to jail if the gun is on the seat, dashboard or between the console and seat with grip showing.
So what exactly is the rule here?
