As you have already been advised you can only have a concealed weapon on your "person" in a vehicle if you have a concealed weapon permit. It is however not LEGAL to leave a loaded concealed weapon anywhere else in your car, except on your person. If by chance it was found and stolen as a direct result of being stored in your car, you would be held personally liable/responsible for any damages that resulted from the use or misuse of that weapon, both criminally and civilly....
