Regarding leaving a hand gun in the car while at a school, the law says it must be unloaded and in a closed container. It does not say it must be locked.
For the legal purpose of complying with this law, is a compartment of the car, either the center console or the glove box unlocked, considered a container.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that Virginia courts had declared that a compartment is not a container.
It would be so much easier to comply with the laws if they made them straight forward, easy to understand and cut out all the novel interpretations.
(Sorry if this is a repeat. I have discussed related issues before, but this remains an area of grave concern to me.)
Thanks.
