When may I carry my firearm in my vehicle?
A license to carry firearms is required to carry a handgun in a vehicle, except in certain situations. An unloaded, securely wrapped handgun may be carried without a license when changing residences, when going to and from target practice, or to and from one’s home to a vacation or recreational home. Rifles and shotguns may be carried in a vehicle as long as they are unloaded.
