Vechicle carry question

[Permanent37]

So when I carry I normally carry appendix. To avoid having a barrel digging in my crotch while driving I typically take the entire gun and holster a put it in my console or wedge it between the seat and console. Ive been doing this ever since I starting carrying but the other day a guy I work with told me my gun could only be in the truck if it was unloaded and the ammo was locked in a separate case. Is this true? If so, what is the point of having a CCW? Any info would be great, just trying to make sure im following the law.

You can carry your handgun loaded in your car however you want as long as you have your Oklahoma Handgun License.

Thats what I figured, reading the vehicle carry section of the OK SDA law book is a bit confusing so I wanted to ask the question.

Sounds like the guy you talked to is quoting the transport of a firearm when not licensed.

Federal Law on Transportation of Firearms

A provision of federal law serves as a defense to state or local laws which would prohibit the passage of persons with firearms in interstate travel.

Notwithstanding any state or local law, a person shall be entitled to transport a firearm from any place where he may lawfully possess and transport such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and transport such firearms if the firearm is unloaded and in the trunk. In vehicles without a trunk, the unloaded firearm shall be in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console. Necessary stops, e.g., gasoline and rest, seem permissible.

Tell him he is WRONG.

He is very wrong

 

[DRC458]

Yep, he's wrong.

Totally wrong. You didn't specify you had a permit, but I'm ASSUMING you do, since you're carrying concealed. If so, carrying in the car loaded is perfectly fine.

Do you mean the SDA permit? There is no "Oklahoma Handgun License."

 

[Permanent37]

Yes I do have my permit and I figured he was wrong. So does it matter if the gun is open or concealed either on me or in the vehicle?
