So.....having a little argument with a buddy, and need some help:
Section 16-23-20. Unlawful Carrying of Handgun; Exceptions. says:
(9) a person in a vehicle if the handgun is secured in a closed glove compartment, closed console, closed trunk, or in a closed container secured by an integral fastener and transported in the luggage compartment of the vehicle; however, this item is not violated if the glove compartment, console, or trunk is opened in the presence of a law enforcement officer for the sole purpose of retrieving a driver?s license, registration, or proof of insurance; If the person has been issued a concealed weapons permit pursuant to Article 4, Chapter 31, Title 23, then the person also may secure his weapon under a seat in a vehicle, or in any open or closed storage compartment within the vehicle?s passenger compartment; or?
With the new fad of "under the dash" holsters, how does this play out? Is a holster screwed to under the dash considered "under a seat" or "an open storage compartment?"
