I'm totally confused on this issue and get many different answers from people. I've been told by cops that the pistol can be loaded, others say no. I've been told it can't be within reach, or it has to be in the glovebox, or concealed, or in plain view, many different things by different people. Why can't it be just like a long gun in your vehicle, loaded/unloaded, concealed/unconcealed your choice, and why do they say it can't be within reach? Can someone that is a trusted source of information please tell me the ''real'' ways, right and wrong of having a pistol in my little car?
