You are reading it 'wrong' if you are trying to apply that section (which is only part 'c') to a vehicle. It has nothing to do with a vehicle. It's about carrying on your person. If you don't have a governmental issued permission slip, you can not carry a loaded handgun on your person. This is the entire section including section 'a' and section 'd' which address carrying in your vehicle and the vehicle of a private third party.2018 Georgia Code
Title 16
Chapter 11
Article 4
Part 3
§ 16-11-126.
Any person who is not prohibited by law from possessing a handgun or long gun may have or carry any handgun provided that it is enclosed in a case and unloaded.
this is 2018 GA Law. Am I reading this wrong?
