If this is not the first time this is posted, I am sorry I have not seen this. I got this from a LEO friend of mine.
"20. Can a citizen transport a concealed, loaded, unsheathed, handgun in his her vehicle?
Yes. A person with a CCW license can carry a concealed weapon in their car though a long gun must still be loaded and unsheathed. Under the new law, even a person without a CCW license can carry a handgun or load a handgun in his/her vehicle, so long as the weapon is not concealed, meaning that the weapon is not within reach. However firearms, other than handguns, still must be unloaded and sheathed in a vehicle, whether the person is a CCW license holder or not. 167.31(2)"
The not within reach thing is still got me upset. Does that mean I have to take it out of one holster on my belt and move it to another and put it in the back seat of my sedan? What?! I can still reach the dash, the passenger seat and the like. This takes all the guessing out of what the DOJ means by car carry without a license.
