I've been reading open carry stories for about an hour now, and I have yet to see someone mention anything about this so I decided I would post about it.
I know carrying a weapon concealed inside a vehicle is legal as long as it is not concealed by your person. I also know carrying in the vehicle is legal if it is visible on the dash, on the seat, etc.
I carry my firearm on an outside-the-pants hip holster when I go out nearly all the time. When I get into my car, I usually take the gun out of the holster and put it in the glove compartment for fear that I am doing something illegal by having it on me while inside the vehicle. I am not concealing, my shirt is tucked in, and I have no jacket on.
I have questioned the legality of this many times but I have never received a concrete answer. I would just like to not have to put the gun in the glove compartment every time I get in and out of the car.
Does anyone have any information on this?
