There is no expectation of privacy when operating your vehicle on a public road way and remeber driving is a privelage not a right, you have a right to a home and to live but there are no constitutional gaurantees of the right to drive
Actually, you don't have a right to a home.
I disagree that your vehicle is an extension of your home plain and simple its not. In your house its your castle where I feel you should be protected and defended from everything you choose to be protected and defended against. However a vehicle simply by nature of its design to be mobile and the fact that they are left un-attended when parked I don't feel should be an extension of your home by any means because that opens up a whole new ballgame of legal defense for crimes committed in your car.
Your home is unattended when you are away.
I don't think there should be a license to carry any gun in any manner anywhere. It's already illegal to shoot people. That's enough.

In the car, I still have it in the holster in my waistband. At 2:00, it's not that hard to get to, and its not a small gun either (XD45T). Sometimes to the city, we take my wife's Baby Eagle for the console, and if I decide to stay in the truck while she shops some place I move it to the door.
