Generally speaking, yes, but if you want to have it loaded and accessible, it depends on which state you are in. Each state sets its own laws regarding permits and carrying handguns. Check the related link for more specific information.

Yes do to the fact that there are crazy people in this world. i think it should give you all the right to have one in your car. Yes do to the fact that there are crazy people in this world. i think it should give you all the right to have one in your car. The answer to the question is, in the U.S. in some states, it is legal to carry a handgun in your car without a permit, in some states it's not, and it's probably similar to that in other countries, so it depends on where you are. You should check with a local reputable gun dealer or shooting instructor for more information.

You can carry a gun legally in every state except Wisconsin, Illinois, and Washington D.C. All other states issues permits or have concealed carry provisions. In some states, the permits are harder to obtain than in others.

There are a several parts to the answer. The most basic answer is yes, you can transport a firearm in a vehicle if it is unloaded an inaccessible. However, in some states or some cities, such as New York City, it's a bad idea to have a gun anywhere in the car unless you are passing through or specifically going to the shooting range.

But, if you want to carry the handgun loaded and accessible, it depends on the state. Some states allow car carry. Some states allow open carry anywhere. Some states require you to have a permit, and some states recognize other states permits, but some don't. At least two states(AK and VT) allow concealed carry with no permit.
