I can't help but wonder if there isn't a difference, legally speaking, between having the gun ON you in a holster, and having it in a closed glovebox.
IANAL, but I would think that in the glovebox would require permission to access, even under the guise of "Officer Safety" because the LEO has to enter the car, OPEN the glovebox, and remove the weapon..
Or am I way off base here?
That's a good point as well.
Sometimes I wish a lawyer was on here full time to answer all our questions
