Carry a handgun in a pickup without a CPL

imported post

A buddy of mine just asked me how he can carry a handgun in his truck with him without a CPL. I believe as long as its unloaded in a locked case out of his reach like under the backseat or something then he is fine, is this correct?

MCL 750.231a A person is now permitted to transport a pistol for a lawful purpose if the owner or occupant of the vehicle is the registered owner of the firearm and the pistol is unloaded and in a closed case in the trunk of the vehicle. If the vehicle does not have a trunk, the pistol may be in the passenger compartment of the vehicle unloaded and inaccessible to the occupants of the vehicle.

Click to expand...

IF it is a single cab truck, behind the bench seat would be fine...

IF it is an ext. cab truck, the cargo netting in the back are would do

IF it is a 4 door ext. cab like my truck... i place it in the cargo netting under the rear bench seat....

OR your friend could just go get his CPL.... and would be MUCH better all around... TRUST ME....


Edit:

WOW.... pilot beat me to the response.... i must be getting slow...
