Ive read some of the threads of transportation, and we actaully discussed this in the CCW course I recently took.
You can DEFINITELY store your gun in a map-pocket * side door pocket, behind seat pocket* without a CCW, I believe its actually a pretty new law.
Also most LEO's know the un-official two-step rule, which pretty much says you need to do two motions to retrieve your firearm. Such as in your glove box, and in its holster.
The two-step rule doesnt apply to blatantly exposed firearms, such as on the dashboard, nor does it apply to the map-pocket rule. So you can keep your handgun in a map-pocket un-holstered and dont need a CCW.
Also be aware, even if you have your CCW, and conceal it in your vehicle, make sure your using the two-step rule if your carrying a passenger without a CCW, the law applies to EVERYONE in the vehicle.
Of course if you have a CCW, you can do what you want with your firearm, just be careful of passengers.
I hope for some, this clarified some questions. Feel free to correct me.
The map-pocket law only applies to map-pockets, not the glove box. Dont take my word for it, look it up or ask a LEO.
Also My question, is I live about 1/2 mile away from a movie theatre, and usually walk there at night in the dark. Its kind of a creepy walk, mainly because its behind a canal, and you never know what is lurking in the dark. Is it legal for me to OC in a public theatre? Im not doing it because of the theatre, but for protection from the dark walk. Thanks
