The State Highway Patrol opposes it because it would allow loaded weapons in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle.

The HP is only trying to protect their officers from accidently shooting an innocent motorist who carelessly displays the weapon for the officer to see.

Then that's the only thing that they can protect us from. Police prevent less than 1% of all crimes, the other 99%++ crimes that are prevented, are because of armed, law-abiding citizens. So, their rationale is that they want to protect us from themselves? Spare me!

The HP here is as political as any of them. The leaders are appointed and must "toe the line" to keep their jobs. The reason is simply an outrageous excuse. To have it their way, the only time you could carry is when you were walking!!
