of course seeing any type of firearm is a slight cause for alarm...but theyre trained for that remember
the big difference i was trying to make is that even if the law is passed Criminals will still carry the same way they used to.
If a cop saw a firearm on the front seat in plain view with the magazine clearly removed (yes i know one in the hole....but thats all you need in an emergency) if will alert the police officer that you really have nothing to hide and are following gun safety guidelines.
if i was carrying and was carjacked while carrying i would most certainly fire at the vehicle afterwards.
