That's a good question.txinvestigator wrote:The reality is simple. How would the LEO even discover the gun? I have been driving for 14 years since I left LE, and have never had a cop ask to search my vehicle. I have only been stopped twice.
If your car is wrecked and you have to remove your personal property from it, you will be under the scrutiny of a LEO. It would be a good idea to have roscoe in something mundane, like a brief case or gym bag.
I have not been frisked or had my car searched during a traffic stop in more than 30 years. However, some people seem to have "bust me" tattooed on their forehead. We all know that racial profiling never happens, but it could be the Grateful Dead T-shirt or the marijuana-leaf earrings.
