So as long as the gun is in plain view, it doesn't matter where you have it. I.e., if it's on the dashboard, it's clearly visible. If it's under your seat, it's concealed. Sitting on the seat could be construed as concealed because it isn't clearly visible.

i may be wrong but i think oc laws change when u get into a car, at least they do here in kansas, if im walking i can open carry when i get into a car i have to unload it and put it in a container that completely encloses it or some word like cover or something dosent have to be locked just completely enclosed, and i think that when u get on the interstate it changes again.

 I've been pulled over more times than I care to remember while living in Kansas and never had a problem with LEO for having a pistol in the seat.  Mind your P's & Q's, and make sure you tell them it's there without making them nervous, and it's no big deal.  In fact I'd say it's gotten me out of quite a few tickets.  In Kansas most cops like to talk about guns, hunting, and fishing about as much as we do.  The fire arm usaualy starts the kind of conversation that puts you ,the OCer, inside "his" group of people, and voila! You don't have a ticket.  (Not valid with female Officers)  Most Kansas cops are pretty cool as long as you're not acting like a jack-ass, though as always, there are exceptions.  Enjoy it guys; I moved to Utah and the cops out here make the Gestapo seem warm-hearted.

When I was still in Kansas, I was told by a LEO/neigbor and the sheriff's office that a gun on the dashboard or on the passenger side seat is ok as long as it is visible. Loaded is okay. They will probably ask you to unload for safety reason, but that's it. KS LEOs are coool.

I was advised by the AG office to put the gun from the seat, to the dashboard if pulled over and leave it alone.   I wonder if I might get to stare down the barrel of the LE's sidearm.   :what: Ace
