Interesting poll question. A little too personal for my taste though...

Why don't you just cut me off in traffic sometime and find out.

the reason I don't is because I would want to use it everyday if it was there...things can escalate pretty fast and I would be tempted to do something I would later regret...

California rarely grants CCW permits to its residents, so you'd be illegally transporting a loaded weapon if you did.

Back to the original question -- even though the OEM alarm system isn't the best, I wouldn't recommend leaving ones CCW in the E90 without it.

A better poll would be: If you have a CCW permit, do you keep loaded guns in the car?

It depends on where you live. Apparently, Culver city has a pretty lax permit restrictions because many studio execs and hollywood people believe they should carry them and the city is willing to comply-

Here in CO it is legal to carry a firearm in the vehicle without CCW, to my knowledge it just can't be chambered and can't be "concealed". I always have my Uber-modified Glock 23 around me just in case. I am a paraplegic also, so I can't exactly defend myself physically like someone else can from harm. It evens out the playing field for me I guess you could say. Also, I would never use a firearm for anything but self defense. Being former military, I am very high preacher on firearm education and training before one is allowed such a responsibility. It is no joke. There are MANY people I would never trust with a firearm.

One last thing, I NEVER leave my firearm in the vehicle at home. Somewhere I can't carry, such as govt facility or a school, just leave it locked up in the car obviously. If it is stolen, it is not like having them steal a cd or iPod. Its a bit more serious....

I dont mean to thread jack or to touch on a subject you may not want to speak of, if you dont want to tell me thats fine, I understand and I apologize. Though if I may ask, how did you become a paraplegic? Was it in the military? The reason I ask is I am military now, with severe (not as so as your ) back problems caused by military service, and if yours is the same case did you get disability and how difficult was it to get your disability payments? Again if this is something you do not wish to speak of i'm sorry for bringing it up.

This is consistent with GA law. Interesting that revolvers can't be "chambered"...

...I don't know anybody that drives with a gun. However, I always thought that there'd be someone I know with one. Guess not.

In Nevada you can carry a loaded weapon as long as its not conciealed. If you have your CCW then it can be concealed.

I have like 5 friends that carry in there cars ... I will too as soon as my gun comes in from order.
