Carl is pulled over for driving with a broken headlight. The officer asks Carl for his driver’s license and registration and when Carl opens his glove compartment, the officer sees a handgun lying there. Carl is placed under arrest for carrying a concealed weapon. Before trial, Carl’s attorney files a motion to dismiss the charge. What will result?

a. The charge should be dismissed because the officer had no right to pull Carl over in the first place.
b. The charge should be dismissed because in most states there is an exception to the handgun permit laws that allows you to carry a handgun in the glove compartment.
c. The charge should remain because Carl has no right to possess a handgun.
d. The charge should remain because Carl put the officer’s life in danger.


b. The charge should be dismissed because in most states there is an exception to the handgun permit laws that allows you to carry a handgun in the glove compartment.
