This isn't exactly surprising. Despite how dangerous some people think this country is, I've never felt like I needed any protection even in the so called "bad parts" of town. There is also a clear difference between those who conceal carry and those who open carry.

I drive for a living, uber, my own service, etc. On the uber and lyft subs on the other place their are a ton of drivers who feel the need to be armed when working and they don't seem to understand how having a gun out of sight isn't exactly a deterrent and having it out in the open not only breaks a ton of laws, it would make it more likely that someone would try to take it and the driver would be the one likely to be shot in the process.

So what about putting a sign in your vehicle that you have a concealed weapon but don’t actually have one. Would that be the deterrent without breaking any laws?

I'm going to let you think about that one yourself. Let that question simmer in your own head for a bit and then get back to us. And my point wasn't about the law in particular, that was just a small part of it.
