JamesP, forgive me if I restate the obvious.  Gun laws vary from state to state.  What one particular state accepts as legal could be a felony in another state.  I will, as many other on DRN, will defend the right the bear arms.  However, the right to bear arms does not necessarily mean that you can carry a loaded firearm [i]LEGALLY[/i] in you car.  The advice given that said to leave the "heat" at home was sound advice although it differs from your point of view.  Portraying someone that you do not know as "paranoid or enept" serves no purpose to your arguement.  If you choose to carry a firearm, legally, more power to you.  If you carry a firearm, illegally, you run a much higher chance of becoming a statistic.  By all means defend yourself if attacked but to walk away from the [i]threat[/i] of attack is much more prudent AND is recommended by all law enforcement agencies.  
BTW, it is common practice for law enforcement to check motor vehicles out that are parked.  Many times it is merely to check if everything is alright.  Other times, occupants are checked for sobriety or contraband.  I am not niave but rather I am cautious not paranoid and I am definitely NOT ENEPT.
