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. |
a few things I'd like to point out...
no one is going to have a gun and magazine laying on their passenger seat while their driving around. what if you had to make a panic stop and the gun slid under the dash, now if you got pulled over it would look like you were trying to hide it. forget reaching for it to put it back on the seat while you're pulled over, thats a good way to get shot. if you are carrying concealed, its going to be on your hip, ankle, shoulder, etc. like mike said. if you got puled over and you were carrying, you would inform the officer that you have a concealed carry permit and that you have a weapon on you. you tell them in that order. you tell them you have a gun on you without first telling them you have a permit to do so, they are gonna freak.
and one round in the chamber "because thats all you'd need in an emergency"? what if you miss? what if you only hit them in the arm or leg? what if you hit them center of mass and they still keep coming because they are all coked out? unless you are an incredible marksman, one round isnt gonna do much. and please, for the love of god, do not fire at your vehicle as it drives away after a carjacking.
