Perhaps I didn't word the joke well. It is
the police who have a lower level of anxiety because
they don't have to
wonder if there is a gun in the car.
They know there is a gun in the car (and behave accordingly.) Perhaps it's an inside joke that law enforcement people understand better.
Florida's "lawful carry if encased" law extends, to my personal knowledge, back for over 61 years and we haven't experienced your "shoot out at the OK corral" yet. Pretty good record. During that same time frame, in other jurisdictions there have been mass murders in "gun free zones."
