No penalty if you have a license to carry. Below is a C&P from the PA criminal Code:
§ 6106. Firearms not to be carried without a license.
If it's done legally and in the manner directed by law, there is no penalty.
Not enough details to answer your question. If you're carrying a loaded firearm in a legal manner, and in legal possession of it, there'd be no charge.
In Texas, you can carry a loaded firearm in your vehicle without a concealed handgun license, as long as the firearm is not in plain view. It can be stored in a holster, a bag, or other locations within the vehicle. However, it's important to note that there are specific regulations and exceptions, such as the prohibition of carrying in certain locations, so it's advisable to be familiar with local laws. Always ensure you are compliant with any additional legal requirements.
Having a magazine in a firearm can mean that the firearm is loaded, and ready for use (if a cartridge has been chambered). If it is not loaded, it takes longer to put it in a condition that it can be fired.
Every case is different. If you need information on a state or federal criminal case, seek information from your attorney or from an attorney at your local public defender's office.
Penal Code 25850 is a section of the California Penal Code that addresses the unlawful carrying of a loaded firearm in public. Specifically, it prohibits individuals from carrying a loaded firearm in a public place or on their person, unless they are authorized to do so. Violating this code can result in criminal charges, including misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the circumstances. The law is aimed at promoting public safety by regulating firearm possession in public spaces.
It depends on the locality. In some U.S. states, it's perfectly legal to carry a loaded handgun where you can access it in a vehicle, but in some it isn't. You can, generally speaking, transport and unloaded and inaccessible firearm in a vehicle. Check your local laws.
It depends. In Tennesee, there is a charge for illegal possession of a firearm, which is simply carrying an unauthorized firearm, and can be a misdemeanor. There is also "intent to go armed" which can be a felony. If the gun is not loaded, the charge will probably be the former, if the officer doesn't think you were up to anything bad.
In reference to a firearm, a firearm is considered loaded when there is a live round of ammunition "...in, or attached in any manner to, the firearm, including, but not limited to, in the firing chamber, magazine, or clip thereof attached to the firearm..."
If you are in a place like Portland or Oregon City that restricts loaded carry by people who do not have concealed handgun licenses, you may not have a loaded firearm in your vehicle. Furthermore, if it is a handgun, it must be carried openly or "not readily accessible."
If there is ammunition in the magazine or cylinder, the firearm is loaded.
It depends on what you mean. If you mean can a person carry a handgun loaded and accessible in their vehicle solely because he is in the military, the answer is no. A person can only carry a handgun loaded and accessible in their vehicle if they otherwise qualify to do so. Each state sets its own laws regarding that. Some states require a permit to have a loaded gun in your car, some states don't.
