I seem to recall that the law in question only applied to when the gun
was not in the owners immediate possession, i.e. in your holster. So
assuming you have a carry permit, it would be in your holster while your
in your vehicle. If it was stolen from the glove compartment of your
locked vehicle, it would still fall under the breaking and entering type
exception. Having it further locked is certainly a good idea of course.


IIRC, at my last (4th) CCF certification, the instructor said that leaving a
gun in a vehicle is a big no no that can cost you your permit. Even if the
perp breaks into the car.

Not from the laws I've looked at. Yours may differ. Certainly leaving a
gun unsecured and visible in a car would be an issue. Locked out of
sight in a vehicle, and preferably with at least a trigger lock is
perfectly reasonable, unless a law gives you universal carry right so
you don't have situations where you have to leave your gun in your
vehicle.
