Calculated to alarm

I got pulled over once, with a rifle in full view on the back seat.
Not a problem for the officer at all. In fact, his only comment on it was a "thanks" for my removing the bolt from the gun before he approached the car, to set his mind at ease (it was a Russian Mosin-Nagant 44, with the long, wicked spike bayonet; hardly a "friendly" looking gun). Yeah, I know I didn't have to remove the bolt, it just seemed the respectable thing to do.
Re: rifle behind seat of truck OK?

You pulled the bolt after you stopped, and before the officer got to your car?
If I'm on the side of the road, the last thing I want an LEO seeing me doing is fooling with a firearm!

I agree! That could have ended badly if he actually saw what you were doing. I keep my insurance card in the visor above my head for quick access. Once I've got that and my DL and CHL, I don't move around much at all.
ETA: Dont' be the victim of a misunderstanding.
