I think it's just bad PR to be putting out there that you HAVE to have your pistol laying on the seat or on the dash. Sure, it might be an option, but to make it sound like it is some chiseled-in-stone legal requirement is ********.
It's still early on a Sunday, but maybe you can show me where I said it
has to be on the seat or on the dash. Please also show where I said it was chiseled in stone, or even implied as much.
I did say that the AG recommends carrying it in certain places, but never implied that it was chiseled in stone. My choices were my own and I never strong-armed anyone into making the same choices for transport. Discussing this stuff together is fine, however I do not entertain straw-man arguments designed to make you look cooler.
"Therefore, the permittee's accessibility to the weapon is of prime importance." NC AG, Pg 16, guess the AG disagrees with you.
The part you are speaking of is in terms of
concealment and accessibility. You forgot to mention that part. In other words, when determining as to whether or not a weapon is
concealed in violation of state law, accessibility is of prime importance.
If the weapon is not concealed whatsoever, accessibility has no bearing. Open carry is allowed in a vehicle, after all. However, it does go on to state that (paraphrased) normally openly carrying as we do on our hip is legal in a car. I would take that to mean that keeping it in the holster on your hip would be fine- which is why I'm doing it now anyway. My argument was never that the practice was illegal, just that it bugged the hell out of me driving with it that way in terms of comfort.
I did mention that having it on the seat makes it even more visible, thereby hopefully eliminating any question in a LEO's mind as to whether or not it was in plain view. Perhaps that is where the confusion lies? Although it was not my intention to imply that it
had to be on the seat, what you did was over state my thought and then made an argument against it. Again, this is called a straw-man argument, something I will not allow others to get away with when in a discussion.
I also said that there were other reasons why I carried it on the seat, such as for easier access if ever needed.
Of course, you should advise him to wear it on his head where it is visible from 360 degrees. It would be "more visible" that way and therefore better according to your logic.
Here you make the distinct turn from straw-man arguments to just plain being a dick, for which I now end any and all discussion regarding this matter with you. I simply don't have the time to entertain kids.
Have a great day.
