Good Morning all!!!
I'm sure this issue has been talked about before. Vehicle storage if you are carrying and need to go to a location that you can not carry, (government bldg, school, etc..) can I lock my weapon and magazine in a secure vault in my vehicle? And be legal. Yes I have a CCDW.

Thanks

No legal issue since you have a CCDW... just lock it up, you can even leave it loaded. I'd recommend using a steel container of some sort, don't use the stock plastic glove box.

Some vehicles have special items made to fit them, others you'll need to get a generic box and either bolt it to the floor/trunk or use a cable to secure it to the seat frame. I'd recommend looking at Tuffy first, since they have offerings for a few different vehicles in addition to generic boxes. https://www.tuffyproducts.com/default.aspx

just remember that you can only have a loaded pistol in a vehicle, not a rifle due to the hunting laws, even with the CCDW.

While I do not disagree that a CCDW permit enables you to carry on school property, does anyone have any experience open carrying on school property (public school preferred)? Any run-ins with law enforcement over the issue?

Can't say I've ever seen anyone OC at a school, and these days it would probably result in the School Resource Officer asking you to leave at minimum. If you're really unlucky maybe having the school go on lockdown or worse. Unfortunately if one is looking to avoid confrontation CC'ing is probably the better option.
