Tacoma Fan. My wife is a police Lieutenant. And over the years I've heard a lot of stories about folks being killed during a crime that was being committed against them. Just about a 100% of murder victims do not have a gun.
But...it would be the p85 ruger 9mm. Ol reliable.
i believe it's illegal to carry a firearm in your vehicle here in NC ...hence the reason i don't carry one ...but i could be wrong though!
It's not illegal here in NC with a conceal carry permit your free to hide it wherever you want. I carry my springfield xdm at all times right below the steering wheel column. Without a conceal you just have to have it visible as jn on the dash or passenger seat in plain sight.
