Words this turns on
Terms with a legal meaning that is narrower than the everyday one. Each links to the definition and the authority behind it.
- Concealed handgun licenseThe license a county sheriff issues to carry a concealed handgun, to an applicant at least 21 years of age and a resident of the county who meets the section's other conditions. A person licensed to carry a concealed handgun is one of the exceptions to the concealment rule.
- Readily accessibleFor a handgun in a vehicle, within the passenger compartment. Where a vehicle has no storage outside the passenger compartment, a handgun in a closed and locked glove compartment, center console or other container, with the key out of the lock, is not readily accessible.
- Relief from the disabilityA grant that lifts the firearm bar a felony conviction places on a person. A person granted relief from the disability, or whose record was expunged, is outside the felon in possession rule.
