Okay, I guess I don't know jack about this handgun stuff. I don't understand why he got penalized for having a loaded handgun in his possession so long as the safety was engaged and/or the trigger was locked and it was put away and hopefully locked in the glovebox. It oughta be perfectly fine to have one in your car, even loaded if you wish, as long as you're not waving it at people every time they cut you off. It would suck if some thug broke into your car and later committed a crime with your gun, but you still should be able to have your personal property in your personal vehicle if it is legally obtained and registered. Can you have a magazine as long as it's not in the gun, or would they have a fit over that too? Or did they just give him a hard time because he didn't tell the officer up front that it was there? I could maybe see it then. Just curious.
