Would a tort liability policy be a possibility here?
Hey! How about a no-fault civil rights violation policy?

Cop violates my rights, I get paid automatically?

:D

What kind of liability policy would someone ask for when calling their insurance? Any sort of particular questions to bring up?

I think this was said earlier, it is called an Umbrella Policy. I know they are available to homeowners. Contact your local insurance agent. It covers you where ever you are such as home, work and back and forth.

A quick example since this is not an insurance forum. Say you are entering or exiting a building and you are being a true Virginia Gentleman and hold the door for someone. For some reason the doors slips and smacks the person in their face breaking their nose. The person sues and the owner of the door. The owner of the door is not responsible as you were doing the good deed. You would be covered as long as you were not negligent.

Now, to comply with VA law, I must draw and unload before I lock up my weapon in my car, every day before I go get my kid from school, then reload, cycle and holster after I get back in the car. It's only a matter of time...
Do you have to get out of the car to pick up your child, or is he escorted to you?

The school has a strict policy of the parent coming in and signing out the yutes. They have yet to realize that many notorious and noteworthy characters from history have taken my child. Adolph Hitler, George Washington, Jeffrey Dahmer... They also failed to realize that a strange woman, not on the approved list, picked him up one day last spring. Such warm fuzzies!

...May I suggest that you develop a system or method for the transfer and stick with it every time you make the transfer. It will become second nature.

That was my intent with this post. In order to develop a system I am asking what works and what does not.

Then I realized that the safest place for my firearm was in a holster on my person, uncomfortable while sitting or not.<snip>

That is my thought as well. I guess it is time to submit my CHP paperwork.

The more I draw/re-holster my firearm, the more I risk an ND. I can not holster carry in my car since the firearm is easily hidden by the seat-belt, center console, and bucket seats.

If I holster carried on my belt, and was pulled over. The only view an officer would have is from the front.

My body/seat belt/Center Console/Seats blocks out 270 degrees of vision.
