I'm sure the law varies state to state, so just be sure to check your state's laws. And the laws of any other states through which you might travel.

Here in Washington, any concealed weapon must be under your immediate control. In a car, that means on your person, or so the courts have ruled. For a lady, that means on your person - not in your purse. This effectively precludes glove compartment, door pocket, under seat, or any other sort of carry other than holstered.

We are not required to declare to a police officer that we are CCW holders. If asked if we are armed, we must answer if we are CCW holders. Funny, though, if we are carrying illegally, we need not answer. Self incrimination and all of that. Go figure.

Anyway, check your local laws before proceeding. They are literally all over the map. What is legal for me might land you in jail, and vis versa.
