So you store a weapon in the area where police are expecting you to reach for and instead store your license and registration to one of the spots where police are trained to prevent people from reaching into because of the fear of storing a weapon there.

I also hope that you either live in a state where there aren't any CCW permits required or that you have a CCW permit (which during my class, they went on and on about why you shouldn't store a weapon in the glove box).

Regardless - locks on glove boxes have been a thing for a long time. Having a PIN Enabled glove box even for your (imo very stupid) use case isn't enough of an argument to make touch screened glove boxes standard.

Presumably OP could warn the cop before opening the glove box that they have a gun there, so that the cop expects it instead of being startled by it.

yeah, that worked so well for Philando Castile.
