I know that with my cpl i can carry a loaded pistol on my body in my vehicle but is it leagal to have a loaded mag in my pistol in my glovebox or center console? thanks
I asked a policeman friend of mine about keeping my Glock in my glovebox while Im driving, his responce was: it is ileagle to not have it on your person, but most cops won't care. He also said that if you get pulled over for some reason, you should tell the policeman that you have a loaded weapon in your glovebox and he has your permission to remove it and hold on to it until he leaves. Removing you registration from the glove box when there is a loaded weapon next to it make a cop very nervious and they don't like surprises.

"(iii) the licensee is away from the vehicle and the pistol is locked within the vehicle and concealed from view from outside the vehicle. "
Has anyone determined if this part means the pistol must be locked, the vehicle must be locked, or both? The way it reads makes it sound like the pistol must be locked, like with a trigger lock.
1) The pistol must be concealed from view. i.e. in the glove box, or under a towel
2) The vehicle must be locked. i.e. the doors locked OR in a locked box (or trigger lock)
not both, just one, no matter how you meet the requirement

I disagree. Seems pretty clear to me that if you're not in the vehicle, the pistol must be concealed from view AND the doors locked or in a lock box..
Says nothing about a trigger lock. Just that the pistol must be locked within the vehicle.
I don't know.... could locked within the vehicle be referring to 1/2 of cocked and locked, meaning the bolt or slide of the gun must simply be in battery? :banana:
cant be bolt since the Washington cpl is a concealed pistol licence and doesn't cover rifles. I know that it is illegal to have a loaded magazine in a rifle period. think i magazine in a rifle period actually loaded or unloaded
