That said, I understand your caution. Just don't see the reason for it at least as it relates to the Greater Richmond area. Maybe if I were in NoVa I would have a different take on it.

Hey, I'm sorry Citizen. I lost control there for a minute. What you say may be true and I might be arrested for anything at anytime. Woops there I go again. Sorry. :?
Boy am I going to pay for that. PBIH ! :uhoh:

Uh, huh. I've learned not to mess with you!!
Don't forget that some cops are real funny about guns in cars.
Restaurant? I don't really see it coming up. I'm not getting pulled over for putting ice-cream on Key Lime pie.
Lunch counter? Not really. Unless its a misdemeanor for ogling pretty waitresses.
But traffic stops? That's a situation where you are being stopped for an offense. A situation where [insert all the "traffic stops are dangerous; don't know who might be stopping" reports here].
If I were going to OC in my car, there would be a holster securely mounted in plain view from driver's and front passenger windows. Securely mounted, yet easily removed so I don't have to leave the empty holster and its message when I park the car. The holster being so the gun doesn't fly during emergency crash avoidance manuvers or a collision.
