Sorry if this was already discussed here. I was wondering if you can leave your gun holstered when in your car if you do not have a ccdw, which I do not yet but will soon, or would that be considered concealed? Thanks for the help.
(8) A loaded or unloaded firearm or other deadly weapon shall not be deemed concealed on or about the person if it is located in any enclosed container, compartment, or storage space [regularly] installed as original equipment in a motor vehicle by its manufacturer, including but not limited to a glove compartment, center console, or seat pocket, regardless of whether said enclosed container, storage space, or compartment is locked, unlocked, or does not have a locking mechanism. No person or organization, public or private, shall prohibit a person from keeping a loaded or unloaded firearm or ammunition, or both, or other deadly weapon in a vehicle in accordance with the provisions of this subsection. Any attempt by a person or organization, public or private, to violate the provisions of this subsection may be the subject of an action for appropriate relief or for damages in a Circuit Court or District Court of competent jurisdiction. This subsection shall not apply to any person prohibited from possessing a firearm pursuant to KRS 527.040.
09jisaac, that is what I was wondering. I was reading through some of the stuff that kyglockster put up for down load and there were conflicts in a couple court cases one stated that the gun can not be considered cocealed if it is merely blocked from view by the body (I.e. sitting in your car I would think),however another case the court held that a gun could be considered cocealed even thou the grip was sticking out of the pocket, the arresting officer said he could not see it and the argument was that it could be seen by some one in another position which would also be sitting in your car. So, it was confusing. I have read the laws I can find and there really isn't much on OC mostly CC.
That is exactly how we got console and compartment carry as OC.
Don't forget the 1000 foot GFSZ ("Gun Free School Zone") when Ocing in the car or on foot without a CDWL.

If you have a concealed carry license (or whatever they call it in your home state) the GFSZ does not apply to you, period. If you don't have one, it applies on highways, streets, roads, sidewalks and any other public property. It does not apply on private property. If you don't have a concealed carry license you can not be on any public property, inside or outside of your vehicle, within 1000' of a school, period. It does not matter what any state statute says. Federal law and state law differ all the time. You must follow both to be 100% legal. As I have said over and over, the chances of you being charged with this crime are near zero.
What in the hell does that have to do with this topic?
Awesome! Hey, SP, lets get the sheriff and fatty Town police to put up a firearms checkpoint at each end of the town, to check for firearms being kept illegally in vehicles that drive through our town! Wait, no, we can't do that cuz being LACs, we'd have to turn ourselves in for driving through town with a pistol in our gloveboxes, or on our dashboards! Darn it.
You even admitted you are full of hate and bigotry. Homosexuals are the biggest bigots and haters there are. They hate every thing the Lord stands for and died for and choose to live a deviant lifestyle contrary to the laws of nature and the natural world.
