Putting Handgun in center console while driving?

<< < (3/3)

depserv:
018.06 Except as prohibited by federal law, a permit holder may carry a concealed handgun in a vehicle or on his or her person while riding in or on a vehicle into or onto any parking area which is open to the public and used by any of the places or premises listed in Section 018.01 above if the handgun is not removed from the vehicle and the handgun is properly secured in the vehicle before the permit holder exits the vehicle.   To be properly secured in the vehicle, the handgun must be locked inside the glove box, trunk or other compartment of the vehicle, in a storage box attached to the vehicle, or in a securely attached hardened compartment if the vehicle is a motorcycle.

This statute was copied and pasted from the NSP website.  Anyone carrying or leaving his weapon in his console or anywhere else in a vehicle should read it, especially the part about the handgun being "properly secured."

I assume that the requirement of being "locked inside" is not met simply by the car being locked; does anyone have any clarification on this?
