hey i thought last jamuary they passed a law in georgia stating that your car was an extension of your home so you can put a pistol in the glove box. whether it said loaded or not is another story but whats the point of having an unloaded gun when you have a loaded one pointed at you? i was with my girlfriend(not pulled over but she was) and i had my glock in plain view and it was loaded, the cop unloaded it until they left and handed me the magazine back but never said it had to be unloaded. so if your car is an extension of your home you should be able to have it loaded. either way if you get pulled over the first thing yo do is surrender the weapon, it's for their safety.
