One told me just keep it out of the "lunge" area and in a range bag or case and you'll be fine.

It's still directly out of reach if it's needed though. That's exactly what's so ridiculous about the law.

In LA, even without a permit, if the driver is of age there can be a handgun sitting on the passenger seat with no problems whatsoever.

Even though it's not hard to get a permit, I shouldn't have to pay 20 dollars to "be allowed" to have a readily accessible handgun for self defense. That's what I see wrong with the law.
