Of course, I would like it to be legal to openly carry in my vehicle in a Grassburr holster, but my point is that I'm not trying to "get my own way" as that phrase always carries a negative, selfish connotation.mojo84 wrote:I am not getting "increasingly aggressive" or "insulting". I am challenging your argument that this bill should or does make it legal to store your gun in a car mounted holster in open view.
All I'm saying is you are arguing for something outside what the intent of the bill is. I guess this comment of yours led me to believe you want your method of "carry" to be legal.
If you are already using this method of " carry", what about this bill changes anything for you. My contention is that is changes nothing. If you are doing it legally now, you should be able to continue to do so.I specifically would like it changed so that I could open carry in my car-mounted holster during long trips. Since it's not a belt or shoulder holster, I wouldn't be able to carry in the car holster without it being concealed, which adds to the time I need to get to it.
I apologize for "insulting" you. It was not my intent to do so.
Edit: I went back and reread the thread and saw that you have a zippered cover on your grassbur.
I never doubted that the bill would not allow me to openly carry in my vehicle in a non-belt/shoulder holster, such as the one I already have mounted. I know the bill doesn't change the fact that openly carrying in that holster would be illegal both before and after the bill, unless the "belt or shoulder" words were removed from the bill. My main point with you is that this definitely constitutes "carrying" and not "storage" because it would be "about" my person, which was your main argument - that an accessible firearm not attached to your body is not "carrying."
