I home schooled my daughter for some years. Not any issues I remember. Open carry state. Permit for conceal. If you get pulled over put gun on dash above steering wheel facing motor and hands on lower steering wheel and be sure to tell officer first thing if they don’t see it that it’s on the dash. If they ask why it’s chambered and ready, (like theirs are) just say “for My safety”....
I was shocked the first time I was pulled over. I had my weapon hidden in the center console (I have a concealed carry permit) when I was stopped for expired registration. I immediately handed him my drivers license and concealed carry permit and told him I had a loaded firearm in the center console where my registration and insurance papers were. He nonchalantly said: "No problem, I just need your papers." I reached into the console, where the gun was then exposed and got my papers and handed them to him. I don't even think he put his hand on his gun. I can't even feature this happening up in the northeast.
