Conceal Carry question.
Tacticoolio:
So a hypothetical here...
If I'm out and about and a friend calls to meet up for a drink, I would lock up my pistol in my truck. After a drink, I drive home (just one drink, with food). Since there is alcohol in my blood, I can't legally carry a concealed firearm.
With the pistol locked in a case secured to my truck's center console, am carrying a concealed handgun or not???

My guess is that it doesn't meet the "out of reach" part of fiream transportation.

That depends on whether or not you unloaded it, and stored the ammunition separate from it.

In this case, the driver did not unload the pistol.
So this driver would have to rely only on the 4th Amendment protections against searches, and he'd need to remember that if ever asked to submit to a vehicle search.

Although, with alcohol on the driver's breath, the officer might make a case for probable cause if, let's say, the driver had a NRA or NFOA or similar decal on his or her vehicle.
