Firearm in your car & safe

I keep my Xd on my hip or in the center console loaded and ready. Oh and a ccw doesn't hurt either.

Does having a CCW exempt you from the transport laws?

I am pretty sure anything you secure to the vehicle inside or in the trunk is illegal.

We do not know.

The PC is silent on exactly what 'the utility compartment' might be, and I am not aware of any case law that clarifies.

That said, I'd use something bolted down to my car without any worry. Please decide for yourself.

I still think that the difference between a locked case and a "utility compartment" is defined by whether or not it's a fixture or an integral part of the vehicle. I'm not willing to test it, though.
