Handgun in the open while driving?

[Renegade]

Actually it is that simple & correct - for me.

Incorrect for you too. Perhaps you should read the law, or the prior posts by Kar or Todd

Thanks. I'm good.

No problem, I was not posting for your benefit, but others who might read it and think they could Mexican carry cause "it was on their hip".

Renegade,

Lots of snark with heaping helpings of sanctimony: "No problem, I was not posting for your benefit"

Sheesh!

Don't forget you will need a LTC if you open carry in your car (just like open carry on the street) using a shoulder or belt holster.

First and foremost, a loose handgun in a vehicle while driving is a bad idea. As mentioned, if in plain view it is in violation of state laws. Secondly, in case of an accident, it not only becomes a dangerous uncontrolled item; but also it could exit the vehicle and may not be found by first responders. Do you want the liability of losing a firearm because it wasn't properly secured? Be smarter than that.

Secondly, while vehicle mounted holsters are legal as long as the weapon is concealed, I still think they aren't a good idea (especially the magnetic ones). For one, there is the issue of vehicle break-ins. Secondly, while they may seem to be out of sight, in some cases once the door is open they suddenly can be "in plain view" and that will be a problem. And there is always the issue of how well they will secure the firearm in case of an accident. I don't think the magnetic ones will be up to the job, which goes back to my first point.

Lastly, to clarify Renegade's point, here is the corrected version of TxStetson's comment...

It’s really quite simple, if it ain’t in a holster on your shoulder or hip, don’t let it be seen.

No more sanctimony than his "I'm good".

Why is it, when several people have posted correct info, others feel the need to come in and post incorrect info?

This thread should have been over after post 4.

Thanks, but the word "hip" is not used in the law. Why not just use the actual text of the law and get it right?"

"the handgun is carried in a shoulder or belt holster"

Ha! We agree.

"This thread should have been over after post 4."

Remind me of who compels one to read any of any thread?

Right, no one.......

Mods make those decisions, not the hoi polloi.

Don't like thread content, what ever can you do?

Right, move on and quit complaining as - you know the rest.

The only one complaining about posts in this thread is you, Perhaps you should follow your own advice and "move on and quit complaining".

Renegade,

Sheesh!

 

[Shady]

Depends what state and city you are in

There are no more (reasonable persons).

 

[Mowingmaniac 24/7]

Ah, hypocrisy.

You can complain, but I can't.

What's the old say about the kettle calling the pot ....?

The funny thing is you don't recognize it.

Must be frustrating for you with zero authority to dictate..

Still not ready to move on I see.

 

[Mowingmaniac 24/7]

No, you aren't..

You want so badly to dictate, it's dripping off you.

Ha, good one.

Now, issue some more orders.

Squeamish Ossifrage

 

[SloppyShooter]

Hey hey guys, glad to see I was missed so much you have to fight among yourselves.

Never fear, I'm back, so you can take your frustration out on me.

 

[Mowingmaniac 24/7]

You're a birder?

Who'd a thunk it?

Back on track: Do you open carry in your vehicle?
