[QUOTE="Pearnicious, post: 2904012, member: 41258"] So I just found this forum a couple of days ago and did some reading of older posts. Found lots of good information but I was still curious about a few specifics of carrying a handgun in a vehicle. Specifically the legality of doing so without an SDA permit. [URL='http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/deliverdocument.asp?id=69763']O.S. § 21-1289.7[/URL] says that anyone who is not a felon can transport a handgun "open and unloaded" at any time. It defines "open" as "in plain view, in a case designed for carrying firearms, which case is wholly or partially visible, in a gun rack mounted in the vehicle, in an exterior locked compartment or a trunk of a vehicle." My question is what exactly qualifies as a case? Obviously a foam lined plastic case would work, but would a holster also qualify as long as the holster is in plain sight? Specifically, would a vehicle holster mounted under the steering column qualify as a case that is "wholly or partially visible"? I was looking at the [URL='http://www.gumcreekcustoms.com/Vehicle-Mount-Holster-Combo-p8.html']vehicle holster from Gum Creek[/URL] that has been mentioned a few times around this forum and was wondering if the standard version would be legal to use without an SDA permit. Obviously the pistol would still need to be unloaded, but I would much rather have it and the magazines secured in a holster instead of laying on the seat and getting dumped on the floor if I had to stop quickly.
