I would truely wonder how I have a right to carry a weapon in my car when I travel but I cannot legally get the gun to my car? What about when I go to the range to shoot?
The law allows me to carry my firearms to my car and back to my home, license or no. Now go anywhere else and... I get the idea. I am honestly a law abiding citizen and I take pride in exercising my rights. One of the reasons I live in this great state is they allow us the right to be prepared and ready to protect and defend ourselves and our families in bad situations. So I made sure to always leave the item in the car when out and about. I would put it in the center console immediately, every time i sat in the car. I would only put it in my IWB when transporting it due to I live in a very urban city apartments style area and carrying a gun even legally in a hard case brings up alarm. So I just avoid the gawking looks by politely carrying in a way that does not bring up alarm. LOL. Usually, wardrobe malfunctions aside.
Anyways I am happy to report that I now have plastic in hand so regardless of how you view my legal status of before I am 100% legal now, 30.06 and 51% aside.

Re: What to do if you are "made"?
Hey i thank you for the clarification James J.
Honestly I was aware of both laws you cited. When I spoke in terms of Castle and going back in forth from the car I was speaking directly to the clarifications that had been made in 2007 about the right to go back an forth from your car and residence with your weapon.
I think we are both on the same page just going at it from different perspectives. The discussion is healthy though. It gets us thinking about the law and keeps it fresh in our minds. We are armed citizens. We have a duty to abide and uphold the law.
@ Divided attention - ROFL. Sounds like you did the Hoky Poky Pistol trying to stay in deep cover. Guess its better than the whole gun falling out and saying hello!!

Re: What to do if you are "made"?
I got my handgun that i intend to CCW on Nov 12th. Over the weekend I have been exercising the castle doctrine and I carry the gun to the car and then back inside my home. I dont ccw in public i just carry it in the car.
Saturday I get back to the apartment with the fiancee and i am carrying the gun IWB at 4 oclock to take it back inside with me. As I am getting the baby and carseat out of the car his shoe falls to the ground. Without thinking aobut it I reach down to pick it up.
A sudden shot of adrenaline hits me as I realize what i had just done. At my 4 oclock was a man about 15 feet away, smoking a cig who had been watching our exodus from the vehical. I reach up to my waist to find both my shirt and jacket had come up and caught on the hilt of the gun and it was fully exposed to the observer.
In a quick manner but still trying to be casual, I correct the wardrobe malfunction. I then, with i am sure the guiltiest most stupidest face, looked over to the smoker to see if he noticed and sure enough he was staring right at me. His facial expression was almost a shocked and confused look.
I had been made. Without thinking about it I gave him a nod and said "how ya doin' ". I just nodded back reflexively and said "hey" in a very quite tone.
Then I just got my stuff together and quickly headed into the apartment building.
So I guess I would say to always, at the very least, act normal. If you act stupid, well....you have a gun and your acting stupid and that scares ppl.
