When our CCW law was passed, one of the "poison pills" that was included was that you had to have your weapon in plain sight when in a vehicle.  Which meant that you had to expose your weapon while you had one foot in and one foot out of your car (I guess)....and cover it with one foot in and one foot out when leaving your car.  

That's one hell of a magic trick.
Bravery and stupidity are often synonymous.  So are cowardice and intelligence.

"We Americans have been a rebellious band of freedom loving vagabonds from the very beginning. Our freedom from the crown and tyranny would not exist had it not been for the gun. That's a tradition we like to hold on to.  The same can't be said for the rest of you 'Subjects of the Queen'."--said to a Canadian friend who just doesn't get it.

Yeah...the law didn't specify one foot in and one foot out....just that inside you had to be in plain sight and outside concealed, so if you were all the way in or all the way out you  had to be violating one side of that law.

The poor motorcycle guys would have to balance on one leg with the other up in the air over the saddle....hopping around while they repositioned their weapon.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
