I could be wrong but here is the rules I have always used for carrying a firearm without a concealed carry permit. Unload the gun, place the ammunition in one place and the gun in another or have them both in a locked area such as glove box, carry case, trunk, etc...

^ correct. If you don't have a ccw don't have a loaded gun in your car.

Im not a lawyer or judge or LEO but the way I understand it is that if you DO have a CCW then the weapon must be secured on you or in a device or container that must be opened by means of handle, latch (glove box, console etc) not openly laying about the vehicle (on seat, on floor, under seat etc).

That is the way I read it in the CC brochure.

Correct sir.

Yep,that is correct. It either has to be on you,or in some thing that closes with a snap or zipper or some thing along those lines. I have mine in a black 5.11 pistol bag. It looks like a really small laptop bag that will hold the pistol and I think 5-6 mags.
