"Casual" Carry in a Vehicle

[dantheman]

No where does the law say it is. But you can still keep a gun in your car in the state of louisiana unless you are in a few select places.

But I can't keep an open bottle of beer in my truck. At least not while I'm driving it.



......... do open container laws apply if I'm just chillin', parked before I go into my in-laws' house and need a little liquid amnesia

they sure do. When people make the argument "i cant drink in my car" I like to reply with "you can't kill a family of 4 with your house"

Yea, by if you introduce the officer to the inlaws, they might understand.

lol thanks. The open container law is the best example I've seen to show the fallacy in the "extension of your home" argument.

 

[madwabbit]

lol probably the best defense for open container i've ever heard.

"im on my way to my in-laws..." not sure it'd be possible to resist the smirk.

If I'm in my car or house, I'll carry however I want.

It's my understanding from the CCW class that you can have a handgun anywhere inside your car including on your person without a CC permit. It is only when you exit the car that you better have that permit.

If you are going to leave your handgun in the car, (It's not poor judgement, it happens, there are time when you need to disarm to remain within the law.) These are very handy, http://www.gunvault.com/nanovault-200.html comes with high strength steel braided cable that is looped around a solid structure like the seat frame. It's not 100% protection, but not to many smash and grabbers are carrying bolt cutters.

Who ever taught your CHP class is giving out wrong information.

Yep all "instructors" are not equal.

More than likely a misunderstanding on MY part.

I never understood why someone would want to conceal on their person inside a car anyway when the didn't have a proper permit. Far to easy to get into a situation where they would have to exit without the ability to remove their handgun.

Nor I! Just from an accessibility standpoint alone. However, I am sure there are some CHP gunslingers that may chime in telling us how they can grab their gun from concealment while sitting down with a seat belt wrapped around them in mere nanoseconds.

On the seat beneath my right leg works for me

Gavin at Shooters Club isn't a LSP officer... he was JPSO.

This is the holster I use in my vehicle... it allows for a fast and unnoticed draw. It also allows for a more natural looking draw in the event someone is forcing you out of the vehicle. Being low under the steering column, it is dark and out of the way. Reaching for it and bringing it up and easy and one solid motion.

The mount is sturdy and I have never had it slip or move from it's location in any way. Where I have to mount it on my vehicle also has a small lip that it could slip sideways and fall off, yet that has never even closely presented itself as this thing stays in place once attached. (Without any damage or modification to your vehicle).

Just my review of the mount. Your choice of holster is your decision.

I'm looking at his name on the CHP instructor list and I've never heard his name before. I've only been at JP from 01-04 and 07 to present.

So when you leave your car, I'm assuming you don't leave it there, if you take gun and holster whats left in the stering column to draw attention of snoops and passers-by? Not a big fan of having the thing pointed at my feet either while drawing.
interesting none the less.
