Reelin this is in the new law the 1 year min jail sentence scares me.

Carrying Handguns in Motor Vehicles. By law, when handguns are being transported in a
motor vehicle, they must be unloaded and kept in a place (1) not readily or directly accessible
from the passenger compartment or (2) locked container other than the glove compartment or
console. A violation carries a penalty of one to five years imprisonment, a fine of up to $1,000,
or both, with a mandatory minimum one-year sentence in the absence of mitigating
circumstances. Any handgun found in the violator's possession must be forfeited (CGS §§ 29-
35 and 29-37).

I have always thought that if it was on your person it was legal but that is not what the new law states, hope encon can shed some light. Driving a pick up I have always locked my pistol in the glove box, crazy that this is now illegal.
