Thats just great, I place my 1911/pancake holster on the center console or the passenger seat all the time when I enter the vehicle -to hard to get at it with the muffin top in the way while belted in!
Note to self: careful doing that in Terre Haute

That is nothing, I saw a man with a gun driving down I-69 today, he even had a shotgun in the front with him. OOPS, may have forgot to add he was a State Trooper. Just because you are wearing a uniform it's OK to have a gun?

I was taking an AR in to get sighted in with a bore laser sight at the shop i work for and stopped at McDonalds to get an ice tea, not even thinking about the rifle sitting next to me in the passengers seat. I figured it out real quick, i think i scared the poor kid working the window, but no one said anything to me, and i never was pulled over. I hardly ever haul a firearm like that, but it was my brothers, and he was in a hurry, so i just put it in the seat. Sorry for the ramblings.
lol, yup
It's news worthy because it wasn't a traffic stop. It was the THPD creating a blockade around a citizen who was doing nothing illegal. (Notice I didn't say "nothing wrong" because I think he's a doofus for having a gun loose in the seat where it's likely to fall in the floor. Hope it wasn't loaded.)
Becareful if you're transporting your fishing pole in plain sight; you're liable to get stopped to make sure you have a fishing license.
No need to hide a gun. I will put mine between the passenger seat and console just because of where my seatbelt rides at. If some doocus sees it and panics and the police show up-does that mean I should be stopped, interrogated, detained, arrested, assaulted, beaten or even executed?
If he wasn't waving it around or shooting, then he should not have been pulled over. But there will always be more to the story that I don't know. Maybe they ran his plates and thought he was a felon.

Man we don't need to know what you do when you look at gun porn.... oh wait you said pee yourself.... never mind.....
Depends on which end you are looking at!
I hope you slip it on your belt before you get out! I saw a video a few months ago of a guy in Ohio getting approached by a couple homies at a gas pump. One grabbed him and the other came out of nowhere to assist the first thug. The intended victim stiff-armed the first guy while he fumbled around and finally grabbed his pistol out of his car. He shot said perp twice at least in the abdomen ending the assault. I happened to run across a thread on "Ohioans for Concealed Carry" the other night where the actual shooter talked about what he did right and wrong. The wrong thing was to get out and not have his pistol on him. The right thing was that he had it chamber loaded. He said since his left hand was busy fending off the dude he couldn't possibly have been able to rack the slide. Fair warning on both counts!!
I was reading that thread over there the other night. It's a good read for sure. It's also interesting how facebook has been brought into it with the assailants (shootee)comments and threats. I dont think they were charged for that incident...but there in jail for other offenses now.
