Why are you guys carrying guns around in your cars? Bad neighborhood?

If a cop was to search your car, you'd be screwed, unless of course you shot them.

edit - I could be wrong, a quick search shows that it is legal in some states. I'd rather just carry an airsoft replica to scare off any potential baddies or shoot kids who think it's funny to launch ice ***** at your car.

And then one of the kids who launch ice ***** happens to pull out a real gun and shoots back. And yes, some states allow carry in cars, and also if you have a CWP/CPL you can carry it concealed on your person...

Back on subject...
Blanket
Flares
Fire Extinguisher
Emergency Kit
Umbrella... (Freaking NW weather)
Flashlight
Frequency Scanner (Gotta Know Where Those Cops Are)
Toilet Paper (You Never Know)
Mints (Gotta Have Them)
Axe Body Spray

It is perfectly legal to carry a gun here in florida, even in the car. Not the neighborhood that scares me. Its the people driving around here abducting kids, jumping people and stealing cars.
