well, i tell you all what, have a gun in the seat and the clip in the trunk( asone person posted) and see what good it does you. that IS NOT the law, everyone can google **** all they want but if i had a scanner i could put the **** blunty in front of you. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE CLIP OUT OF THE GUN. AS LONG AS ITS IN CLEAR VIEW you can have it in the car. plain and simple. and btw my uncle is gbi and he confirmed this with me over the phone.
