Ok guys here's my problem,
I am going to visit my girlfrind who goes to school in Missouri and I live in Indiana. I'm wanting to take my handgun with me just because ill be in an unfamiliar place and driving almost 6 hours across the country ( just keeping it in the vehicle and not carrying it on my person). Now here is where things get cloudy. I dont have a carry permit, so would it be legal if I put the gun in it's case (unloaded, but with a full mag in the case) and placed it underneath my seat or perhaps in the pocket on the back of the seat. I presume it would be fine as its basically the same situation as if I was heading to the range. And finally say for some reason I had to use the weapon (while getting gas, broke down on the road, etc.) what would be the legal consequences? Say hypothetically, I was getting gas and someone trie to rob me with a gun or what not, and I happened to get mine out and use it in self-defense, it would be somewhat of the same situation as if I had used the gun inside my home ( being that one doesnt need a permit to carry inside their house.) So, let the disussion begin I suppose.
