in New York City........I cant take my gun off my premises. Only to and from the Gun Range. Even then I must have the weapon unloaded and placed inside a pouch in my glovebox and or trunk.
If I get pulled over they will see from my drivers license that I have a gun permit and if they ask for the weapon i must direct them to it and have them take it out of my car for proper inspection etc.....
You should live in Texas. Almost everybody there walks around with a gun.
