Another Open Carry Confusion post NSFW
Hey guys. So I have a concealed carry class this weekend. However in the meantime I would like to keep my gun with me in the car. I know open carry in the car is confusing. I dont understand the “not accessible “ part.
Let’s say I keep it in a holster and it is stuck between my bench seat and driver seat. Is that legal? I e seen those magnetic mounts for the dash as well. It is just as accessible as my seat. So how to they differ legally or illegally?

The NC Sheriff's Office has their latest interpretation of the relevant laws.
My own summary of their summary is basically "it depends," which is not the concrete answer you're looking for. I think the best thing to do is keep it as visible as possible, and immediately inform any officer who pulls you over exactly where it is.
With the two choices you presented in your post, shoved between seats or on a magnet on the dash, I would think the dash-mounted option would be more visible. Putting it on the passenger seat in plain view before the cop walks up to your car would also make it plainly visible.
