Sorry that I had to create an alias. I realised that my user name identified me way too easily. Posts of mine could easily be found when typing the first part of my well known email address into google! I'm fairly new, but not brand new.
Anyway, I've heard a bunch of you talk about keep a gun in the car. I'm new to shooting, and can't afford a gun for both my wife and I yet. I've decided to buy and leave CZ-52 in the car, so that when I leave by myself, I can leave the Ruger SP101 with her. No need to debate the worthiness of the CZ-52 for self defense, as I'll replace it when I can afford to.
My wife doesn't have a CCL. She needs to be able to jump in the car and go for a drive legally without having to think to remove the handgun. We will spend the money to get her CCL at some point, but we haven't needed to yet. So assuming your state doesn't allow a loaded gun in your car without a CCL, I'm assuming the following:
1.) Your spouse has a CCL
2.) You are the only one that drives your vehicle
3.) The handgun is secured in such a fashion that it's legal for a non CCL holder to drive your car.
Are there other scenarios I am missing?
