I haven't really worried to much about this for a couple years but the kids were asking questions I couldn't really answer even after reading the Bill.
The way I understand it, a person commits an offense if the handgun is in plain view - in the car. Does this include while en route, on foot, to or from motor vehicle or destination? IE: when walking to or from your car, at home and let's say at the "office" parking lot, does it need to out of plain sight (concealed)? Secondly, not an offense if the car is owned by the person or under the person's control. Does this mean my son cannot carry his weapon to or from my car or stash his weapon, in my car, that I'm driving unless we aren't hunting, going to the shooting range etc? Frequently the wife drives a car neither of us own, I carry and stash the gun. Sounds like an offense. Thoughts? |

The bill is poorly worded, as it only covers you to your vehicle, not from it (en route to a motor vehicle), unless you are on your premises or meet some other condition. I would get a CHL and avoid the hassle. Otherwise I would apply common-sense. |
