    Default Car carry, you have LTCF + its your gun, but passenger doesnt have LTCF= ILLEGAL ?!

    My sister-in-law and her husband went to Cabela's (Hamburg) 'NRA weekend', Saturday the 11th.
    They listened to a lecture by an "expert" who told them if YOU have a LTCF and have YOUR carry gun with you, but your passenger does not have a LTCF, you are in violation of the law, even if the passenger is OK to be around firearms/not prohibited. I think this sounds wrong but she (S-I-L) was very concerned about what the expert said. Is the "expert" correct ?

    I tried searching this out but only came up with "how to apply for LTCF in PA" and similar results, not answering the question.

    Provided the licensee maintains actual possession of the firearm there is no issue.

    Not an expert on the subject, but I would agree with this. Possession is key.

    To me it seems the guys full of shit.
    So if I'm riding around with my kids, and I am armed, they are in violation as well?
    What do my kids need to have LTCF too?
    He's full of shit

    Wow I would be in violation almost every day because my wife doesn't have her LTCF. Guess I'll watch for helicopters and black SUVs.

    This is why I cannot bring myself to attend any of this shit. I will be "that guy" calling out bullshit every 5 minutes and asking for the citation of law, and providing a copy of the UFA to be referenced for the nonexistent laws.

    As it is I'm "that guy" at picnics where the one person that just won't shut up about gun nonsense finally has to me made an example because it's getting too deep to wade through.

    Are you riding in their car and have your firearm under their seat? Then maybe.
