Hey all, I've been a lurker for a while here as well as packing.org, trying to educate myself as much as possible on handguns and CWP, but I've come to a road block and am looking for enlightenment.
The other day, I picked up my brother on the way to the gun glub. He looked in the back of the truck (4-door) and noticed the handgun locked in it's case.
He said "You can't do that. You don't have a permit for concealed yet." I commented (based on what I've read/understand) that "I have to carry it unloaded and locked in a container seperate from the ammo, note counting the glove box." (http://www.packing.org/state/utah/#statecar_law)
His response was "What about all the hunters with rifles and gun racks in the window?"
That got me thinking of the times I've been rabbit hunting with shotguns in the rear window and shells on the dashboard (when I was younger).
How does that work?Was that illegal? I asume it would be okay if the ammo was in a locked container but do hunters do that? Has anyone been stopped before for this reason?
I'm assuming the law applies to all firearms but I'm curious if there's an exception somewhere or if police have a 'blind-eye' to that sort of thing.
Thanks in advance =)
