Can I legally keep my pistol in my glove compartment while traveling from LA to FL? Wasn't sure about the other state laws. TIA

do you have a concealed carry permit?

If not, I'm pretty sure it's a no

I know Alabama has some restrictions if you do not have a concealed carry license...

If you do not have a carry permit I believe Alabama would be your problem. They have very outdated car carry laws.

But to confirm, reference each state here:

In Alabama, you cannot have a loaded gun in your car without a concealed carry permit. It is a misdemeanor charge. In Florida, you can keep the gun in your car, but it MUST be in a latched holster or a box / case with a latch.

Went to Florida over the summer and had my gun in my truck the whole way...this was obviously stupid and I am very lucky that I did not get stopped
