If a highway patrolman walks up to your window to hand you a ticket, he must not be able to see the gun. Tinted windows = unconcealed.Ericstac wrote:G26ster wrote:In Texas, CHL or not, a handgun in car must not be "in plain view."
I've wondered, is "plain view" meaning while the car is not disturbed or at any time?
Example, dark tint, dark interior a black gun can sit on my seat and you can't see it at all. But if I was to asked to roll down my window, or open the door, then you will be able to see it.
It seems that if Georgia law doesn't allow non-CHLs to have a concealed weapon in the car, then hiding it is moot. However, according to opencarry.org, unlicensed people can OPEN CARRY in their vehicle only or in their glovebox in their vehicle if they do not have a license: http://www.opencarry.org/?page_id=217. However, keep in mind that without a license, carrying a gun concealed or in the open within a GFSZ is a federal offense. If you don't know where the GFSZ is located or its boundaries, you could be placing yourself in a world of hurt.
