Or part of a university system.

I've said this before: UTMB has its own police force. They consider the hospital off-limits for CHL holders.

Now, I know police officers are not lawyers or prosecutors, but you know what they say about the ride.

Re: When you can't carry at work...

... placing it in a shopping bag and putting said bag in the trunk
My concern with that is that a thief could see you putting something in the trunk and assume that it is worth stealing.

Trunks are much easier to open than car doors.

People routines fiddle around with things like bags and brief cases inside their car, so that doesn't draw so much attention.

Re: When you can't carry at work...

There's no best practice (though I suppose someone will say that their way is the Only Right Way.

IMHO, it's better to use a clip holster that you can remove and put on without unholstering. It seems like way too many people have accidental discharges in their vehicles. I'm assuming (though they never admit it) that they had the weapon out of the holster at the time.

You also have to do things in your vehicle without drawing attention to yourself. It's pretty easy to take off and put on a clip holster surreptitiously.

A locked box that is bolted to the vehicle is best. There are also locked boxes that you can attach under the seat with a cable. None of these things will withstand a well-equipped and determined thief, but they should keep him busy for a while.
