If I don't have a concealed carry permit, where can I legally carry a weapon in my vehicle?

Contrary to what the popular belief is, it is possible to be charged with carrying a concealed weapon in a locked glove box based on the proximity of the key (if the key is on the ignition key ring) to the glove box. The safest location is on the passenger seat, or the dash where it is in plain view of an approaching officer. If you are not sure about the accessibility question, play it safe and lock it in the trunk of your vehicle.
