I was wondering what the legalities of putting a holstered pistol into the glovebox or console of my car are in Arizona. What I have read points to it being legal - I am just a little paranoid about being pulled over and being incorrect that carrying a pistol in my car loaded and holstered in a glovebox is illegal. Weapons charges don't usually lead to a bright future.

Am I completely legally safe carrying a pistol loaded, holstered, and concealed in a glovebox or console in my car? Am I reading the above text correctly?
Thanks.
