Also keep in mind most ccw laws require you to be in control of you gun at all times. If it is not on your person are you in control of it? Locked in a car counts in Texas but I don't know about elsewhere.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16 KJV

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004

I am curious; you need to carry CCW, but "not on your person?"

O.K., let me clarify a bit.....I need a firearm "with me", but not "on me". Michigan law also allows a firearm in a locked car, but as you stated, it's not under your control and there have been a lot of break ins. Also, I need the gun going to and from my vehicle....it does me no good locked inside. A sidearm on me would be seen while changing, hence the need to keep it somewhere else.
Does that clear things up a little bit? Also, the gun would be in very close proximity to me (but not 'on' me) at all times.
