Is your car your car?

Thought this was interesting. How can the interior of a car be public?

I think it’s specifically referring to the presence of a weapon, in this case only a BB gun. But the individual did not have a permit for it and it wasn’t cased properly either.

Even still it seems wild. They wrote that article horribly then.

As far as I remember the ruling was a bit more nuanced than most reporting on it. It was that the car is not a container that removes a person from a public space when the car is in a public space. If you are in a public space then your gun needs to be cased or you need a permit.

It’s easier (maybe?) to think of it reversed like trespassing. If a person is not allowed on your property they can’t walk onto it, that’s obvious right? What if they drive on, are they no longer on your property because technically they’re in a car and only the car is on your private property but the person inside isn’t?

No most people’s cars are actually owned by the bank one day it’ll the theirs

How can he be charged with carrying a firearm without a permit? A BB gun is NOT a firearm and a permit is NOT required to purchase one!!

Permit to carry, not permit to purchase.

That’s what I assumed this post was going to be about…car loans and the financial craziness of the world
