[quote] yes I have a 45 in the consul [quote/] Out of sight, concealed not in plain view. It should be explained on the arresting report why he was arrested and charged.

I would need to reread the Newest Travelers law on carrying but as I remember that was one of the conditioned that had to be met if you did not have a CHL. As I remember the new law last year was to merge the TL and the castle doctrine to say the same thing. Before the merger, if you had a CHL and your gun was in your truck in plain sight, you were committing a crime and could loose your CHL for having a weapon in public view and not concealed. But the other side was if you did not have a CHL you had to have the gun in plain sight and not concealed or you were breaking the law. As I remember it now reads that even with a CHL you can have the gun in your car in the open just like someone without a CHL. A CHL holder can also conceal the weapon on his person or in the car but a non CHL holder cannot and the firearm must be visible at all time. I hope it was a simple misunderstanding and everything works out. IF anyone looks this up and I am wrong please post it for me.
