I carry every day, everywhere. Suppose my wife and I are at a friend's house and decide I want to have several drinks. My wife doesn't drink so when we leave she would naturally get the keys and drive the twenty minutes or so back home. I have my gun in the glove box in front of me. Let's say she gets pulled over for speeding or a brake light out or whatever. What does the law say about me having my gun in the glove box as a passenger while I'm inebriated?

I guess that I'll go ahead and ask what's running through my mind....how did the gun get from in your possession while in the friend's house to the glove box of your car? If you carried it, I think you carried while intoxicated. If your wife claims it, then she carried from the friend's house to the car either open or concealed, and both I think would have been legal for her to do.

Easy. He left it in the glovebox before he went in to start drinking, just wanted it with him in car to/from friends house which is legal IAW MPA.
