CARRYING IN A VEHICLE

39-17-1307


SUBSECTION e PERTAINS TO CARRYING FOR SELF DEFENSE IN A VEHICLE.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I CANNOT VERIFY AT THIS TIME BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW, YOU CAN NOW
CARRY A GUN IN YOUR VEHICLE LOADED, HOWEVER, WITHOUT A PERMIT, YOU MAY NOT BE
ABLE TO CARRY IT ON YOUR PERSON. IT'S THE "ON YOUR PERSON" PART I CAN'T VERIFY.

Here is at least one source that says it cannot be on your person: GUNS TO CARRY PAGE: 




(e)  It is an exception to the application of this section that a person authorized to carry a handgun pursuant to 
§ 39-17-1351 is transporting a rifle or shotgun in or on a privately-owned motor vehicle and the rifle or
shotgun does not have ammunition in the chamber. However, the person does not violate this section by
inserting ammunition into the chamber if the ammunition is inserted for purposes of justifiable self-defense
Pursuant to §  39-11-611 or §  39-11-612.
