As a practical matter, I do the same, and have the same result. That also covers me in case I happen to forget that I left my range bag in the back of my SUV, etc. Of course nowadays who can afford to actually use any ammo, lol.

The closest I have come to a judgement call was when I was rear ended shortly after getting my CHL. We pulled into an empty lot and the police were called. When the officer arrived, I was standing outside of my vehicle, and I had purposely left my gun in the center console, inside the car. The officer and I stepped away so she could get my statement, and she started by asking for my ID. I gave her both just to be safe, but I was probably not "carrying" since the gun was a good 20+ feet away inside of a locked car. It was a moot point since she just said she didn't need it and never even asked if I was armed.
