to be inside the glove compartment or secured in some other enclosed space. Don't know why the driver hasn't been charged with this yet.
ETA: It's possible that charges weren't filed if the police knew the gun owner had a concealed weapons permit, because the law was just changed to explicitly allow persons with a concealed carry permit to shove the gun under a seat (ANY seat in the vehicle) instead of having to carry it on their person while in the vehicle as was required previously. The bill (HB 380), which Governor Nikki Haley just signed in February, must have been titled "The Law of Intended Consequences" because who couldn't have forseen this happening?
