When I rode shotgun with Dreamer a few times, I would have my gun on my thigh, and my hand resting on it so it wouldn't move around. If something did happen, I'd immediately put it on the dash, and cross my arms. was fine traveling that way

Yeah, but I drive like a paranoid grandpa, so the chances of anything happening are pretty slim... :p

The other answer to this dilemma is to just get your CHP. If you've got a permit, you can leave your firearm in the holster on your hip while driving--where it belongs...

Most times I keep the weapon between the seats with the butt sticking up.
When I was pulled over I just pulled it out and laid it on the dash as soon as I seen a LEO behind me.

I carry with a loaded mag and one in the pipe, Never had a problem with LE because one was in the chamber.

NC law says NOTHING about loaded or unloaded... I carry fully loaded and more... Your gun is useless if its not within EASY reach and ready to do its job...... A gun is only concealed to a LEO and no one else.... If you get the blue lights behind you... move it to a open spot... it should be so easy to retrieve that you shouldn't even move your upper body to get it... so the LEO wouldn't think anything was "fishy"..
I have my kids with me 90% of the time...16yo/8yo... Both know not to touch ANY gun... If they feel the need to touch or handle one... all they do is ask and I stop doing what ever it was I was doing and clear it..show them I cleared it... and they make sure its cleared.. then they can handle it...as a loaded weapon... I didn't gun proof my house... I gun proofed my kids....

Hope this helps
