This varies by state, but it doesnt mean leave it at home anywhere.
Regarding handguns - states with "constitutional carry" laws you can carry it in a side holster in plain site You just cant "conceal" that you are carrying.
In some states for example you have to lay a pistol on the dash, and it can be loaded, if you dont have a CCW which is a great law
For example in SC in my personal vehicle I do not need a CCP as long as my gun requires "3 distinct movements to access" defined as
1. Take hand off steering wheel.
2. Open Center Console/glove box
3. reach into console/glove box and retrieve.
