According to §18.2-308 on the Virginia State Police citation, my Nunchucks on my Wii are illegal.

Yiiiikes!

Ok, I have to ask this question. Where do you travel that you feel so unsafe, that you need to have a gun in your glovebox ? Please keep in mind this question comes from a person who was born & bred to trap, hunt, fish & all the other outdoorsy stuff & is not an anti-gun person.

"Doesn't she have to have permits for all of the guns she will be carrying "concealed?""

Transporting guns in the trunk of a car is not 'carrying concealed'. There is no 'carrying' going on - you should know that term is for guns that are physically on your person. The gun in your glovebox is readily accessible as well, thus the permit requirement, but guns in the trunk of a car are not in that category.

From time-to-time I have to travel into very rural Alabama to get to some property that we have for sale. To reach this property, I must go past a group of "squatters" that are living in trailers near this property.

They have stopped me on several occasions, and they are always packing iron.

I didn't know the law regarding guns in trunks not being concealed...nice to know!
