An empty handgun should not be transported in the glove compartment. Those doing so are looking for big troubles.
When I go to the range, my guns are stored separately from any ammo in the trunk of my car. The slides are pulled back and locked, the cylinders are swung open. Each handgun is in its own case/sleeve. Going to the shooting range and an occasional hunting excursion are the only times when there are firearms in my cars.

EDIT: per the DOJ's Bureau of Firearms (http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/travel.php)
Traveling with firearms in California:
HANDGUNS
California Penal Code section 12025 does not prevent a citizen of the United States over 18 years of age who is not lawfully prohibited from firearm possession, and who resides or is temporarily in California, from transporting by motor vehicle any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person provided the firearm is unloaded and stored in a locked container.
The term "locked container" means a secure container which is fully enclosed and locked by a padlock, key lock, combination lock, or similar locking device. This includes the trunk of a motor vehicle, but does not include the utility or glove compartment. For more information, refer to California Penal Code Section 12026.1.
SHOTGUNS AND RIFLES
Nonconcealable firearms (rifles and shotguns) are not generally covered within the provisions of California Penal Code section 12025 and therefore are not required to be transported in a locked container. However, as with any firearm, nonconcealable firearms must be unloaded while they are being transported. A rifle or shotgun that is defined as an assault weapon pursuant to Penal Code 12276 or 12276.1 must be transported in accordance with Penal Code section 12026.1.
REGISTERED ASSAULT WEAPONS
California Penal Code section 12285(c)(7) requires that registered assault weapons may be transported only between specified locations and must be unloaded and in a locked container when transported.
The term "locked container" means a secure container which is fully enclosed and locked by a padlock, key lock, combination lock, or similar locking device. This includes the trunk of a motor vehicle, but does not include the utility or glove compartment. For more information, refer to California Penal Code Section 12026.1.

Personally I'd be hesitant about making a business deal with anyone who feels the need to keep a handgun in his glovebox.
Furthermore, you have to wonder about anyone who would sell their car and keep the handgun in there knowing full well you'll be inspecting it.

More people than you think keep weapons illegally in their cars - glovebox or otherwise. It's all part of keeping and bearing arms ya know - gotta have that protection.
If I liked the car I wouldn't sweat it. Chances are the moron forgot it was in there. I'd probably mention - "hey yo G, you know you got a gat in your GB homey" and he'd probably throw a couple of gang signs and shrug it off with a "my bad dog, I been lookin' for dat mah-focka all mornin yo.."
You might even get a finders fee or a discount on the Miata.
