Re: CHL - gun in my car - "plain view"?

My CHL instructor said that he occasionally carried in the car with it sitting in the passenger seat with his hat laying on top of it. Maybe not the best, but if it is not in plain view, it's not in plain view. Could an over-zealous officer haul you in anyway? Sure. Could he stick his head under your seat, unzip your package thing or whatever, see your gun and (wrongly) haul you in? Sure. Could he not like your tatoo and haul you in for a broken tail light that he just busted out? Sure. Not much I can do about an officer with a chip on his shoulder, but on the other hand, I've never bumped into such an officer.

I have been meaning to carry a rag or something to place over mine in the map pocket in the door. Not allowed to carry at work, so keep it in the door pocket in a holster.
