With a bias toward common sense. Amen.

Because it appears the statute doesn't cover a console, unless the console has a lid or cover, some do, some don't.

But that still doesn't make sense because having the gun laying on the seat is okay. I haven't seen any seats with lids. So, the purpose of the lid isn't even clear.

Interesting. Whether or not you break a law (and have your freedom deprived of you) depends on pricise meanings of phrases like "glove compartment".

It's hard to see the law as having anything to do with morality or safety. It's hard to respect it either.

Trafic tickets are just tolls. I can stop and proceed at a thousand red lights before I actually get a ticket. That is a CHEAP toll.

Kentucky Supreme Court reinstated both charges...

Double jeopardy?

Double jeopardy?

SCOTUS kicks cases back to federal district courts on a routine basis, IIRC.

Yah, I agree.

The intent of the law was clear, and clearly, the court didn't like the law.

Thanks! Exactamundo!

This was always the left's game: Deflect the argument into something else. Look at all the posts here where people are debating what a glove box is. Irrelevant. The real question is why there is a law defining where a law-abiding person may carry a weapon at all. As far as I'm concerned if someone wants to drive around with a pistol in his lap: Have at it.

Gun control groups are nothing more than advocates for criminals. Every murder, robbery and rape committed by a CRIMINAL, not a weapon, needs to be layed at their feet.

Guess I mistakenly thought Kentucky's Supreme Court was above picking nits.

Sounds like the statute or the judges are all screwed up - or both.
