I just had my W&C permit approved, though I have not yet received the written notification and card. I have a very basic question. Pardon my ignorance, but this is all new to me.
My question is: can a W&C permit holder freely carry a handgun or other firearm in the trunk of his/her car, loaded or unloaded, excepting of course the prohibited places such as state parks, rest areas, public school grounds, state-owned grounds, etc. One reason I'm asking is that when I took the Wear & Carry class, which was conducted by a couple of ex-MD law enforcement guys, I thought they said or at least strongly implied that the gun had to either be physically on your person, or within easy reach inside the vehicle.
