leaving gun in car question

[Mity2]

I have to be at this meeting tomorrow.
I have LTCC, but I can't take the weapon to the building.
So naturally, I'll have to leave the weapon in the car during the meeting with my GF who do not have LTCC.
Is that legal, as long as I put my gun in case in trunk and mag in like grovebox?

Did you mean a LTCF? put them both in the trunk. If you have a LTCF and your the only one using the car. you can store it anyway you choose. Maybe not smart but legal.

i know that. The probrem is that I'll leave the car to my better half who do not have LTCF. Can I still leave the gun in the car with her?

[rwilson452]

Is your better half a prohibited person? If yes, you cannot leave it alone in the car with her. If no, lock it up unloaded in the trunk. I would suggest a lockable case with the ammo in a separate container. I would put the case in the car and transfer the pistol to the case while still in the car then move the locked case and ammo to the trunk.

Hey Mity, just take her and get her a permit to carry. Even if she doesn't want to actually carry. Should solve you problems. I have run into the same thing. I'm getting the betterhalf a permit.

Wait a minute. She can't be in possesion of "my" firearms can she??? I'm not sure about this one.

S*it, what is the rule on Loaing a firearm???? I know if she is your wife, your OK, but girlfriend, I'm not sure.

Little help guys. I know someone out there knows.

Without a LTCF, if she operates the car with the firearm in the car with the firearm locked or unlocked and unloaded, she is only legal if going directly to or from a shooting range.

I think what Mity is getting at is that he plans on leaving the pistol in the vehicle while he goes into the building. His betterhalf is just going to sit in the car and wait for him. She won't be driving the car anywhere. Is this legal.

[DaveM55]

I think if she's in the car alone with the keys, she is technically the operator. But I could be wrong.

How would they know who the actual purchaser of the is? If she has a permit she can carry a gun...If they run the serial I would assume it would be to find out if it is stolen...My wife has a permit and I let her carry the gun of her choosing.

I thought I read somewhere about being the spouse of a LTCF and having the firearm in the vehicle is okay. Time to go search....
