Carrying a Loaded Gun in Car

[protective measures]

You're smart to ask beforehand instead of after the fact.
I have had 4 students so far that local judges in my area sentenced to come take my classes on Firearms law & safety.
While I appreciate the business, they all could have saved themselves from misdemeanor charges by knowing the laws on use of deadly force
& Ga. carry laws.

Wow, I didn't know that was a sentencing option. Pretty cool though if they were just ill-informed folks that needed a little schooling instead of having the book thrown at them.

unless unloaded and ammo and gun must be separate and nonaccessible from the passenger compartment. IE trunk

Yep, where GA residents get in trouble without having a permit, ie having it in the "glove box, center console, etc" without said permit

Or motorcycle I had a snellville cop razz me about my gun in a back pack because I don't have a permit. He said the back pack does not count as a trunk I did not want to open carry due to type of holster. It could have fallen out. He told me to pick up a lock since I was heading to home depot

Yep, i have been to jail for it. Misdemeanor and a $100 fine but it comes with 2 years probation and a 5 year waiting period for a GFL after the probation is over.

My buddy was stopped in AL nearly what you got but no probation. He had to hire a lawyer to get his GWL. All for a "equipment" stop burned out tail light.
They asked to look in his car and like a dumb ass he said sure. They found his 1911A in the glove box... Citation for the tail light and the lawyer had to get his firearm back.... Lesson - GET YOUR GWL

Does that include honoring GWL holders in Alabama, or only Alabama permit holders?
