Clean up concealed weapons definition

FarmerRick:
Understood

I'm usually more concerned with the "possible" than the "probable".

I try to prepare myself as much as I can for the "probable", doing so for the "possible" is much tougher.

I do think the wording for this law needs to be changed. At least to make an exception for CHP holders. Scenario: I visit a friends house (carrying with CHP of course). More friends come over. We decide to go out to eat but don't know where yet. We all hop in someone else's car (not my car) and drive around and then decide on for instance: Pizza Hut (which is posted by the way) and eat at the buffet there. Because I know Pizza Hut is posted I leave the firearm under the seat or put it in the glove box of the car.
We get pulled over one the way home. Even though I am not the driver I notify the officer I have a CHP and there is a gun in the glove box. It is not fair for the rest of the bunch to be considered in possession of the gun.

JimP:
This stinks, even as applied to the carload of gangbangers and their fine firearm: It makes everyone guilty, even if they are innocent- prooving oneself innocent notwithstanding!   Because the cop does not know who is guilty, EVERYBODY is.

This has got to go.

Toster:
Think if you are diving in your truck, and the wife (with no CCW permit) is with you setting up front, but you carry in the driver's side door...is she in close proximity?  At one time I was told under the open carry law the person had to be in close proximity to the weapon.  So, does the CCW permit I (and the laws) trump, open carry or does having it in a unzipped open soft case mean it is not concealed?
