I am new to this as you all know. When we leave the home, I will either have my gun on me secured in a holster loaded, or in my range bag locked and unloaded. I put the range bag in the trunk, but when it is OWB I sit with it in the car.
My question is: What are the laws/rules for handling your gun outside of the home or range?

It is my understanding that as of this year you (June?) can put it in your glove box as that is considered a secured container. Am I wrong on that understanding?
Are you allowed to seat it, re-seat it when you get out of the car due to it being shifted when you sit? I avoid touching it with my hand at all so far.
Is it considered brandishing if you were to take it out of the trunk and place it into your holster? Or if it is in the glove box, and you remove it from the glove box to put it OWB?
I apologize if this is considered a stupid question, or one that has been answered before. If it has been addressed please point me to the thread.
