I have a carry permit and keep a gun in the center/ nav glove compartment, of my G when traveling. However day to day it is not kept in teh car. Generally I carry on my person. Leaving a gun in the vehicle is irresponsible. If some one breaks into or steals the car, there is another gun in the wrong hands. Not to mention, if some one else drives your car, and doesn't have a CCW permit, they could be in for a major hassle. Leaving a gun in the glove compartment of a Miata is just asking for trouble. If the person is stupid enough to leave it in the car to start with, let alone knowing that some one would be looking at it, probably isn't smart enough to properly maintain the car.

Just because you have a gun does NOT make you a criminal... As long as you are within legal parameters of course. Maybe he's a bounty hunter or something. Maybe he's part of law enforcement or he's a security guard. Owning a gun is your constitutional right as long as you follow the rules and have a sense of responsibility.
But on the other hand if he is illegally carrying the firearm then he's not the first or only person to do so. It is naive to think that there are only a few who do this. If he's illegally carrying the gun then maybe he's in some sort of danger which CAN affect you. If someone is after him then YOU buy his car then hmmm... I don't know if I would feel comfortable with that.
I think having a gun at home is sort of like insurance. Better to have it and never need it than to need it and not have it.

Under his rule, San Francisco - with a population of ~793,600 - has 10 CCW permits issued. That works out to about 0.00013% issuance rate; the worst of any county in the entire state.

exactly. i keep a pistol in my car, but i live in GA. alos i have a CCW (they are easier to get than a drivers license here.. haha) it doesnt really fit under the seat. but i frequent the ATM alot and refuse to be victimized. its none of your business why he had it unless he was planning to rob you once he saw the money. but if he wanted to rob you i think he would have had it on him. think of the pistol as a removable accessory that may or may not come with the car.

thats a no brainer. you never touch someones elses gun unless you really need to. but that situation, there is no need.
