Can you carry a gun in your car in Idaho?

If you have a concealed weapon's permit, you may put your gun anywhere in your vehicle, or in your person loaded or unloaded, unless you are in school property. If you do not have a concealed weapon's permit, you may not have it on you, and you may not hide the gun anywhere in your car unless it is unloaded. You may, however, have the gun loaded in your car if it is in plain view. You also cannot have a gun present (loaded or unloaded) in school property.

Are you technically carrying a gun if your car is parked and the gun is unloaded in a locked glove compartment?

It varies in each state but you should assume the answer is "yes" until you determine otherwise. Generally, you are considered in possession of the gun if you can access it from the driver's seat. Most jurisdictions define transporting a firearm as having it in a closed case in the trunk of a car or the rearmost compartment of a van or SUV. Laws differ on whether the ammunition can be stored with it, but to be on the safe side you should have it in a separate container. Whether the car is parked or not usually has no bearing on this.

Can you drive with your gun?

It depends on what you mean. If you mean, can you have a gun in your car, the answer is, it depends. Some states, such as Mississippi, allow a person to carry a gun in the car even if the person doesn't have a permit, because the car is considered an extension of your home. Other states, such as Tennessee, allow car carry only if you have a valid handgun carry permit. Federal law allows you to transport an unloaded firearm in your car while travelling if the gun is unloaded and not accessible to you, so even if you don't have a permit, you can transport a firearm from one place to another, even if you don't have a permit, as long as you can legally possess the gun.


Interstate transportation of firearms?

Is addressed in a Federal Law known as the Peaceable Journey Law. If it is legal to possess that gun at your place of origin, AND at your final destination, you may legally transport it- UNLOADED, CASED, and secured somewhere other than the passenger compartment (trunk). For vehicles without a trunk, the gun- UNLOADED- may be in a locked container (not the glove compartment of your car- a locked case, please!) This law provides that is will supersede any state law that would address this. However, New York City apparently did not get the word, and is still attempting to arrest travelers that are in compliance with this law. Thus I avoid NYC.
