This is exactly what my (LEO) CHL instructor told us. He dislikes the MPA because it so relaxed the restriction to "traveling" that anyone could have a gun in the car, provided it was concealed. His argument was that this makes it harder to arrest gang members and those involved in organized crime, because they can 'hide' a gun in the car and not be nabbed for it, unless they are stopped in the commission of another crime.

I'm not so sure I agree with his thinking.
And it was relaxed because LEO's and DA's that were irritated about the MPA took an idiodic "Arrest them all and let the judge sort it out" additude. Then they arrested a close friend of the lawmaker that wrote the MPA statute.
