It’s one thing to have an illegal firearm in your house, but to drive around with it tell me you are ready for combat. So anytime anywhere you find yourself in trouble you can pull your gun and shoot.
Persons who are caught with guns on their possession or in their car should get a higher and stiffer sentence then those caught with firearms in their house. You can argue that the firearm was for protection when and if someone breaks in to your house.
