I live in Georgia. Get stopped right often for I've a heavy foot. I've had speeding stops in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. I've never been asked if I had a firearm in the car. I've never had an officer ask to look in the trunk.

Dropped my wallet once and as I bent over to pick it up, the trooper saw the 1911 on my belt. Asked me if I had a CCW, I said yes. He didn't ask to see it. We talked guns for awhile, then we talked ammo for awhile. Then he told me to stop driving so fast and away we went.

I tend to stay away from the states that mandate that unloaded in a locked case in the trunk baloney.
