The argument cites a law that says weapons may not be transported unless unloaded, (or if a bow, unstrung) and encased during transport, "unless the weapon is a handgun." The wording was added in 2011 to allow for people with newly legal concealed carry permits to have their guns with them in their cars.
And that's the point District 1 Judge Patricia Curley made in the case of Brian Grandberry — the exception is clearly meant for people with concealed carry permits, even if the wording of the two related statutes doesn't mesh as well as it should.
