big deal in my book. A gun is the preferred weapon of choice when people do serious criminal stuff.
Concealed means it was not in the glove box/console in a holster which is permissable. Just shoving it under the seat is pretty careless.
Even though I have a carry permit I do not consider toting a loaded gun an insignificant act and I always make sure I follow the rules.
