Sorry if this has been covered before, I've been searching but I have not found a clear answer.
How does one without a CPL get the firearm from the car to their person? Some post that they load it in the trunk out of sight and quickly holster it, or load/holster in the trunk and then attach to the belt, or do it all in the open as quickly as possible. My understanding is that if the gun is loaded in the car it was considered concealed (even if the owner is standing outside). Also. if the gun is removed from the car and loaded prior to holstering it could it be considered brandishing.
I understand the rules of transport and the rules of carry, but the small transition part is creating quite a gray area to me. If I choose to open carry before my CPL arrives I want to make sure I don't get caught in some little snag.
I've only ever open carried while hunting with no one else around so it has not been that much of an issue to load and holster my gun outside of the vehicle.
