possumboy, i notice that your profile says you are in the dumfries area. i just moved to lake ridge about a month or two ago from alexandria and, as i posted on one of the other topics on here, am not sure of how accepted it is around the woodbridge area to open carry. you said you prefer to open carry and have been doing so so i was hoping you could shed a little light on this subject for me and maybe give me some places, restaraunts and such, that you have been received openly. i know potomac mills is a no-no, but not sure of anywhere else. what about places like best buy and borders? any help will be appreciated.
now, as for your carrying in the bookcase, you should be fine. personally i usually carry concealed anyways, and i leave it on when i am driving, typically. as long as you have your ccw on you then it won't be a problem, unless you run into one of those high and mighty, non-gun educated leo's, but you would have a problem either way in that case. my suggestion would be to leave it in the bag (that way it's not in plain site and less likely to fly around in a tight cornering maneuver) and if you are stopped let the leo know it's there before reaching. he may pull you out of the car and get the id and ccw himself, but to me that's understandable for his safety. but other than that i wouldn't imagine you having a problem. good luck man, hope i was some help.
