My understanding was that if you have a CWP you could no longer carry in the glove box or console. I though you HAD to carry it on you (or in a purse for a woman). Is that wrong? Once I get my CWP I would still be more comfortable if I could move the pistol to the glove box when I was driving.
Let me just add that South Carolina's permit is a concealed weapon permit, not a conceal on your person permit. That means that as long as it's concealed, it does not necessarily have to be on your person.
(6) "Concealable weapon" means a firearm having a length of less than twelve inches measured along its greatest dimension that must be carried in a manner that is hidden from public view in normal wear of clothing except when needed for self-defense, defense of others, and the protection of real or personal property.
Not entirely true:
The SCAG issued an opinion that a ladies handbag meets the standard for normal wear of clothing but did not elaborate further. Most have taken it to also mean such things a men's brief cases but that has not been tested in court. The only allowance for carry in the law is covered by clothing which would be on your person. The LEO that I have talked to agree that they would not bother with such a tight ruling but could not say that is would not stand up in court.
Outside of a vehicle, I don't know too many ways to conceal a handgun except on one's person, in a purse/handbag, a briefcase, or in a backpack. In a vehicle, if it's not on the person, it can only be concealed in the glovebox, center console, under the seat, or on a seat with a towel or other covering. Can't imagine why, even with the attorney general's ruling, why the police would give anyone a hard time carrying in one of these ways.
Every State is different. I make it a point to attempt to keep track of the States I frequently travel to. Opencarry.org has a Link Removed on vehicle carry. You'll note a great disparity between unlicensed open carry and licensed or permitted CCW.I also thought you meant the hand gun. Maybe I read it wrong as well.
I'm curious about the law. I don't know if it's the same in other states as it is in Nevada. Opencarry.org has a Link Removed. You'll see a great disparity on unlicensed open or vehicle carry over licensed or permitted CCW even in the "shall issue" States.
Not quite, the reason we can have them concealed in our vehicles is because there's no NRS prohibiting it. The AG also made an opinion that carrying concealed applies to on or about your person in Nevada, not within your vehicle. The States that immediately come to mind where your vehicle is an extension of your home are LA and NM. It is not an extension of your home in Nevada. You can get arrested or cited for illegal CCW or possession of a firearm in a K-12 school, college, university or child care facility if it is concealed in your vehicle with a NV CFP, recognized CCW or nothing.Here, we can carry firearms in our vehicles because they are considered extensions of our homes and we can have concealed firearms in our homes.
It stems from NV AG Opinion 93-14 which clearly defines the NV CCW statute as applying to carrying concealed on your person or a container carried by the person not it being concealed in your vehicle.I wonder about the history behind carrying in our cars. I have a ccw so I can carry concealed upon my person. But if I had no ccw then I could not conceal the pistol on me while I was in my car. I could only have it concealed in the car itself.
Because of the way the NRS is written and the AG opinion I have referenced.The pistol is just as easily brought into fire position from the center console as it is from my hip, so, I'm wondering, if the pistol is in the center console and is as accessible to me as it would be if it were on my hip, why won't the law allow me to have the pistol concealed on my hip while in my car just as I am able to do in my home?
See above.Does anyone know the history behind the way the codes or the case laws came about to have this distinction?
What grounds did you have the right to search the car?? I hope your not going to say because he had a gun? I will be polite to a officer who gives it first if they walk up like they are hot Sh*t then i will return it right back to them. I love how some LEO walk around thinking they are the only ones who have a right to carry a gun. You always get "Why do you carry a gun" Or "Why would you want to carry a gun".

It depends on where you are. Kalifornia registers handguns. All handgun sales have to go through an FFL and have to be registered with the state. I just got a gun from my son in Idaho and had to pay $19 to register it with Kalifornia. I basically only did that because if I get my Kalifornia CCW renewed this year, I want to put the new gun on it (and drop the P220 since I never carry it).
(a) It shall be unlawful—
(3) for any person, other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector to transport into or receive in the State where he resides (or if the person is a corporation or other business entity, the State where it maintains a place of business) any firearm purchased or otherwise obtained by such person outside that State, except that this paragraph (A) shall not preclude any person who lawfully acquires a firearm by bequest or intestate succession in a State other than his State of residence from transporting the firearm into or receiving it in that State, if it is lawful for such person to purchase or possess such firearm in that State, (B) shall not apply to the transportation or receipt of a firearm obtained in conformity with subsection (b)(3) of this section, and (C) shall not apply to the transportation of any firearm acquired in any State prior to the effective date of this chapter;

maybejim,
I am assuming you meant that you just obtained a gun from an FFL in California who received that gun from your son in Idaho. If not, you have just admitted to committing a felony:
Not really. I own and live in a place periodically (soon to be the majority of the time) in Idaho. It is legal for a father, son, grandfather or mother, daughter, grandmother, (and a few other family members) to gift guns to the close non-prohibited (to own a firearm) relative. I have registered the G-27 with the State of Kalifornia. And of course I would never bring the gun into the State of Kalifornia before I had registered it there. I filed the papers and sent in the check, which they cashed, and have heard nothing from the State of Kalifornia.
There is a legal problem with owning two residences. Kalifornia says if you are residing in that great socialist state for 10 days or more, you are supposed to get a Kalifornia Drivers license. Idaho says if you are residing in that great Constitution and gun friendly state for more than 60 days you have to get an Idaho Drivers License. I will be residing in Idaho for 2-4 months at a time a couple or 3 times a year, and in Kalifornia for a month or two or three at a time several times a year. What is a guy supposed to do? Change drivers licenses several times a year? I spoke to a representative of the Secretary of State for Idaho and they had nothing to suggest, just if I was going to be in Idaho for over 60 days, I needed to get a Drivers License.
In one state you might be considered a resident, therefore, residing and needing a driver's license. In the other state, you may be considered a vacationer, as are snowbirds, rather than a resident. Check with the IRS to be sure.
The way the laws are written, it really doesn't make any difference where your tax home is (which for state tax I believe can be split between states). They say if you are in Kalifornia for 10 days or more (living there I suppose not vacationing which is what I would be doing though that's apparently not the way the law is written) you have to get a license. Basically the same for Idaho except it is 60 days. The IRS doesn't really have a say in Drivers Licenses.
And no, I don't expect to ever be charged with failing to get a license within the time period. It would be difficult for them to know how long I've been in any particular place. But it is an interesting problem that the States apparently aren't willing to consider.
