My state (wyoming) says a CC permit is only for your PERSON. Not your car.

It is ok to carry a gun in Wy. in the glove box, center console, back seat, door
pocket, etd.

However some states that allow the Wy. CC permit do not allow guns concealed in the ccar: ie, glove box, center console, etc.

Does anyone know if a CC permit allow you to carry a gun in the car NOT on your person. (I think if you had a gun in the glove box or center console and had a CC permit
it should be ok. Some in Wy. say no. If so, what good is a CC permit.

I don't like to carry on my person, I always have a gun in the car. I always thought a CC permit meant car too. ie: ok to conceal a gun in your car if you have a cc permit.

Thanks in advance. CG
 
Depends entirely upon state law, you'll have to tell us what state you are asking about. I am not aware of a state which requires a person with a recognized concealed carry permit to conceal the firearm on their person when in a vehicle, but I would have to research an individual state's laws to be reasonable certain.

Welcome to the forum!
 
If I am not mistaken, unless the gun is on your person, the gun has to be emptied and secured (in a safe, etc) separately from the ammo. IOW...gun in the trunk and ammo in glove box for example.

Again, depends upon state law. Not true in Wyoming or Washington (with a recognized permit), for example. In Texas no permit at all is required to carry a loaded handgun concealed within a vehicle, either on the person or other location in the vehicle.
 
My state, Mississippi, allows carry in your vehicle without a permit. Our state law says that your vehicle is an extension of your home and the same laws apply.
 
Please take the time to research this yourself on your own states Gov't website. You will get many answer here, some of which may be true.

Do not depend on this forum to trust your freedom to.

Once again can you please post at least you state to your name, Texas now allow carry in car without permit concealed, with permit you can carry on or about your person.
 
In any state I've carried in, the ability to conceal......is the ability to conceal. I've never heard of one before this separating the two. Although in my home state of MA it's written into almost everything that the gun must always "be under your direct control" So although you could stick it in a door pocket or console, the pass side door would be a no go technically. Although it's a little different there because everybody there MUST have a carry permit just to own a gun.
 
My North Carolina permit covers the car and, if I'm a passenger, it covers that car too as long as the gun is registered to me.

In Washington you are supposed to carry on person if loaded. In Idaho you can conceal as long as it is accessible. I do know that it will depend on the officer but I had in my door slot in Washington and told the officer and he didn't act like it mattered. I have heard others may follow the law that is specific to on person.

I live in Pennsylvania and if you have a valid CCW permit you are covered whether it's concealed in your car or on your person. Btw, what good is carrying the gun in your car if you need it to defend yourself while away from the vehicle?

Yeah, you are mistaken.

No on both cases. He is mistaken. The applicable statute in Washington is RCW 9.41.050:

(2)(a) A person shall not carry or place a loaded pistol in any vehicle unless the person has a license to carry a concealed pistol and: (i) The pistol is on the licensee's person, (ii) the licensee is within the vehicle at all times that the pistol is there, or (iii) the licensee is away from the vehicle and the pistol is locked within the vehicle and concealed from view from outside the vehicle.

Notice the "or" that I highlighted? Only one of the three conditions (i), (ii), or (iii) must be met along with the initial condition of the person having a CPL. Therefore, a person with a CPL can place a loaded pistol ANYWHERE in the vehicle (concealed or not) and meet requirement (ii) as long as they are in the vehicle.

If the person with the CPL chooses to leave the loaded pistol in the vehicle, then they must meet condition (iii) by concealing the pistol inside the vehicle and locking the vehicle.

Condition (i) simply means that IF a pistol is carried concealed on the body of a person, the person on whose body it is being concealed must have the CPL.

The statute cannot possibly mean that conditions (i), (ii), and (iii) must be met at the same time, because that would be impossible to do.

I hate it when people get/make up restrictions regarding firearms that are not in statutes. We have enough problems with the restrictions that are actually in the statutes.
 
I remember in 1988 I was in a gun store in Oak Grove, Kentucky (outside the gate of Ft. Campbell) and debating whether to purchase a handgun or a rifle. An Oak Grove police officer (IN UNIFORM) told me I should get a handgun "because then you can carry it in your glove compartment".

You never take legal advice from a cop. Either read the statute for yourself or ask a lawyer
