    the "shall not forbid any person who is not among those enumerated as ineligible" means as long as you are elgible for a permit, doesn't mean you have to have one, but as long as you don't have any felony's on record, etc...then you may carry a loaded firearm concealed or visible in your vehicle as long as it's not on you personally...if you have the ccw then you can carry it wherever and however you want.

    Tsk, tsk. I'm disappointed. You should have used Google.

    You do have to have the gun visible if it is within reach of you. You can have it in the trunk or glove box. But you cannot have it under your seat, in a storage unit next to you or in a cubbyhole in your door panel. There are plenty of stipulations on the carrying "wherever and however you want" crap you posted. There are certain places you cannot carry. You should check up more on this. You could lead a person into trouble. Later, QD.

    oh yeah, allow me to rephrase that...unless you're an federal air marshall then you can't carry the gun on a fucking plane and unless you are a resource officer or on duty officer than you can't carry a gun or any other weapon onto state school property or in a coutrhouse. oh yeah, can't forget about county jail/detention centers and state prisons.

    Please show me the [current Georgia] law, section and code, that states a handgun cannot be within reach in your car...I'm pretty sure I already posted and excerpt from the law that contradicts thats.

    Damn, stupid, don't stop there. You also can't carry, even with a license into a bar or any establishment where alcohol is consumed on the premises. You can't carry on school property. There's others.

    You've got it twisted. I never said it couldn't be within reach. I said that if it were in reach, it had to be out in the open. If it wasn't, you can keep it locked up. Later, QD.

    Not entirely true. If you don't have a permit, but aren't banned from getting one, you can carry it in these places:

    in an open manner and fully exposed to view or in the glove compartment, console, or similar compartment of the vehicle

    Has nothing to do within reach more so than where it can be in the car. To me, your center console is "within" reach.

    You were told wrong, then...as you can clearly see "console" in the GA Code. Then again, I had to show an officer that I could hide it under my seat by pulling out the GA Code one time. Go figure.

    LOL, im thinking about getting a boxster, but where, besides under the seat, can you put a handgun? Also you think you can point me in the direction of a couple sites that would help me get along with tasteful modification? Been hard trying to find enthusiast sites with info on the lowly boxster, LOL
