  1. I don't recommend leaving guns in vehicles, or any sort of "off body" carry. Keep them ON YOU, under your control. Ignore the "no guns" signs on businesses. That is a "request" and nothing more. "Concealed" has a meaning. Avoid places where it is illegal to go with a gun. You do not need to go to the Post Office, for example. You can buy stamps and postage for packages online and take your packages to Non-USPS drop off locations, or even put packages in your home mailbox for the mail carrier to pick up. Find ways. Being armed is a matter of choice and may require you to have multiple firearms, holsters, etc. I was a police officer for 36 years and have been carrying a firearm every day since 1973. It is something that requires planning in your clothing choices and firearm choices. If it is absolutely necessary to leave a gun in a car, then disable the gun...remove the slide, for example, and take it with you and/or lock it in the trunk. If you need to do this often, choose a gun that is easy to disassemble quickly. Revolvers would not be a good choice for that purpose, although there is currently ONE revolver that has a push button cylinder release that would allow you to take the cylinder with you. Consider your lifestyle, where you frequent, what you wear and choose firearms, holsters and clothing accordingly. BTW, the criminals stealing those guns, don't get background checks.
