Dad wants to know 1.  Can be it be concealed in the vehicle (not a HCP holder).  2.  Can be it be loaded. 

 

For number 1.  I can't see a reason why not.

For number 2, I told him I can't see a reason why not but I would ask to confirm.

 

So am I correct telling him that or not.

You are correct.

Could someone please elaborate on this? Is this new language in the TCA?

My neighbor was telling me last week that it is now legal to carry a loaded firearm in your car without a HCP. I was always under the impression that a HCP was required unless you kept the firearm unloaded and ammunition ~not within easy access~ or something to that effect. Rifles and shotguns were always a gray area as far as the law read, but you didn't want to be caught carrying with the intent to go armed without the HCP.

Sorry, I went back and found the earlier thread about this. I need to pay better attention!
