A question regarding permit holder exiting vehicle on school grounds.
MN 609.66, Subd 1d, paragraph F(#3) says: This subdivision does not apply to: persons authorized to carry a pistol under section 624.714 while in a motor vehicle or outside of a motor vehicle to directly place a firearm in, or retrieve it from, the trunk or rear area of the vehicle;
Well, I have a console holster for my pistol. If I step from vehicle and then place my sidearm in the console holster; have I broken the law?
I ask because the law seems clear in that I would NOT be placing my sidearm in the trunk or rear. Therefore, violation. However, as you can imagine, removing from conceal holster to place in the console can be difficult while seated in the car. Also to put said sidearm in my conceal holster after I get in can be as well. Really should be standing to go either way but according to MN Statue; that is a violation.
Whats your opinion on it?
