Also, I've recently seen this, and was a little interested in everyone else's opinions. A young man was pulled over for some sort of traffic violation, the officer asks him to step out of the vehicle, which causes him to expose his handgun that was in (I'm assuming) the door of the vehicle. The handgun is concealed while all doors are closed, but not once the drivers door is open. This young man has no CHL for clarification. He was arrested for having the handgun in the car exposed. I was curious on what the law said about that.
