Bring the wife and get her into the course. (Keep in mind that a Concealed Firearm Permit does not mean you have to carry a firearm, but it gives you the right to in States that honor a given permit.)
Something that hasn't been pointed out yet...
IF there's something in the car (like, oh, a pocket knife) that a LEO could possibly misrepresent as a 'weapon', if your wife has a cc permit she's covered. If she doesn't have a permit, she could get in trouble for cc.
Someone who is a LEO in MI told me that his wife didn't want to get a permit until one day when he'd left one of his pistols in the car she was driving & he had to call her & make her come back home so he could remove it. Otherwise, IIRC, it was a felony for her.
I heard a report on the news
this morning about a guy (who was also violating 4 other laws, most much more serious*) arrested for a bunch of things resulting from really really poor decisions.
The thing the news commentator chose to comment on was him having a "hunting knife" in the pocket of his car door. The LEO said it was concealed, so of course that brought a mention of the cc law that goes into effect Tues.

DUI, texting & driving, loaded unencased rifle in the car, in reach, & not moving over for a stopped emergency vehicle
Laws prevent crime, right?
