Consider how often you go out with a friend. If the friend is driving, how did you get the gun there legally? The only other time I could think of, I think the car would actually still be under your control. Of course, that was the taxi cab ride

Depends upon the definition of "control" I suppose.

I wouldn't think "control" necessarily means the person "driving", if not....then "control" is transferable as in your Taxi-Cab example.

If "control" literally means the legal owner of the vehicle, then we are very limited in how we can travel, similarly....if "control" DOES mean only the person driving.....then I hope its not a long trip where you switch drivers.

I am glad there are courts and lawyers to sort this stuff out. All these laws, intents and interpretations hurt my tiny brain. :sad:

I really like how this has been written and adjusted.
From the bill:''(2) inside of or directly en route to a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under the person's control"

I would feel MUCH better about this bill if it didn't include the language in red. What about passengers and welcome guests?

That stood out for me too.

Perhaps.. that could be changed in the future as well.
