Same scenario, but instead of traffic stop the other couple decides hey let's go to:
a) a bar
b) a place with a valid 30.06 sign
NOW what do you do? Best to think out these possibilities BEFORE you're in that situation and have that deer-in-headlights look your face and don't know what to do.
Idea: be sure you can discreetly disarm, place gun in a (preferably lockable) container (or just a bag, purse) and ask driver if you can leave the container locked in the trunk.
a) Find a better venue were these will not be an issue. Then sway the remainder of the party.
b) Despite what some here and elsewhere might say. Having a CHL is not some highly classified super secret squirrel thing. Rather it is something that requires a limited level of discretion. So be up front with the owner of the vehicle and tell them you have your firearm. It is his vehicle after all and he has a right to know what is in it. And if the owner of the vehicle has an issue with you or your firearm it leaves you with a couple of options. End the evening, find a different venue, be returned to your vehicle and continue the evening.
When problem solving do not over complicate the issue. Most problems have simple solutions but more often the not people have a hard time seeing the forest for the trees.
