Same in Florida to be legal. You have to have a carry permit and have the gun concealed on your person. It can not be out in plain sight in an vehicle, even if you are physically wearing it exposed. (This does not apply to long guns in a window rack.)
If not concealed on your person, it would have to be "securely encased" (requiring physical removal before firing) or enclosed in a location not immediately accessible and requiring an opening step before firing (i.e. glove box, console).
Under seat is open to interpretation, but some officers will arrest if the gun is under the seat but not in a case or holster that covers the trigger, since nothing has to be opened to retreive from under seat.
There is one exception here in Florida. If you are on private property or have permission of the property owner you can strap it to you forehead and do a rain dance as long as you stay on your property with or with out a carry permit. That includes in your vehicle. Just dont drive the vehicle off of that property with it holstered like that. If you do the dance part they might come and put a straight jacket on you though.

When I was an officer in FL, I stopped an ederly man for failure to stay in his own lane. The guy, who was in his late sixties and obviously slowed by his age and ailments had 5, yes 5!! handguns in his truck, and ALL were loaded and within his reach.
I felt bad for him, but I felt I was doing him a favor by taking the guns, because someone was either going to steal them, or hurt him with'em.

That sounds exactly like my Dad. He did three tours in Vietnam and came back a little stressed (to say the least). Toward the end of his life he always rolled with two .45 autos, a .44 Magnum, and a Ruger Mini 14, all fully loaded. He was never stopped by law enforcement in the vehicle, and never got into any altercations in the vehicle. He did stick a .45 in some punk's ear one time when he caught him siphoning gas out of his van in his driveway, but the responding police had no problem with that.

Well yeah, private property not withstanding. You can do pretty much whatever you want on private land. Except, I believe, you still can't shoot from a moving vehicle on private land?

That law only covers the "CARRY" on private property. That does not include the brandishing or discharge of a firarm. A whole different ball game there. So I would shurly say that firing from a vehicle is a big no no.

"In response to One BadassTitan"......................They are the Colt brand (military use) some are rigged with different nozzles, faster heat dissipation, point and shoot 3-6 mags fully automatic without getting too hot, the one with the green overlay just got finished not to long ago it was a custom job from a buddy who does gunsmithing. As for the ACOG scope i really like it its the commonly used 4x32 with the red sight (civilians can probably get a real good one for about $700.00) The one you see with the cat close by is a rigged 63 shot fully automatic M4 Carbine (1 bullet in the chamber makes 63 ) now lets keep that right of bearing arms alive soldiers.

I'd say he was a lil' stressed!!!
I think I'd take the Mini-those are pretty nice!!
Although, the .44 would do a nice job too.

i dont have a carry license but if i had a black powder flint lock that would be what i would carry
as it is the only thing( to my knowledge) that i could get away with (as far a pistols go) if i am not mistaken it is not considered a "fire arm"
I was worried myself about the strength of this, and that is why i substituted the screws for 1/4 in bolts and flat washers. i have put alot of pressure on this setup and it is really strong. the holster holds the pistol with minimal pressure, not like other molded holsters which can be a ***** if not drawn exactly right. just a slight little tug and she's free.
Here in ky you can get a permit to carry concealed, but there is no law about carrying in plain view, i.e. on the dash board. i wouldnt consider this concealed, though i may be suprised if i get pulled over to find that it is.
Quote:
Nice idea, I would have to mount that somewhere else though. Here in Texas it would have to be conceal. Cop pull you over and see that right there he might shot first and ask questions later.
For that very reason, when the cop comes to the window, i have both hands resting out the side of the door, and i tell him, "Sir i have a pistol in a holder by my leg, would you like me to get out of the truck so you can secure it. I was in this situation before, They dont want any suprises, thats why you tell them upfront, what you have and where its at, and if it is loaded.

This is what I carry, I'm in alot of ghetto's.
Yes there's plenty of other preferable weapons of choice, but it's small and a 357 mag makes a LOUD boom..

That looks like a trip to the hospitol for a broken hand to me. I think 3 shots is all you could handle. You have to switch hands midfight to get the 4th shot off.

I've thought about switching to a small pistol. There are times (certain outfits) when I don't carry because of the weight - dragging your clothes down or just being a general pain in the @ss.
If carrying a small gun makes your member smaller, I'd better check with my wife first...
