Great idea! Seniordep2010, you should definitely consider Hi-Point's carbines. I forgot abou them. They're as ugly as warthogs but they are well designed firearms and use common handgun ammunition.
Although one could be found in his price range (in the extreme upper range), it is still a handgun.
Yes, you can unload it and lock it in the trunk, the trunk = not concealed. Yeah, you want to avoid any possibility of you getting squeezed on concealing it. I would like to say though, placing the shotgun in a carrying case, bag or something of the sort made to carry the shotgun and then placing it in the trunk may not be considered concealment as you are merely transporting the weapon from one place (in the open) to another (the trunk) in a safe and "inaccessible" fashion such as if you were carrying the gun from a hunting or sport shooting location, it was in the open, you bagged it, and then carried it to the vehicle for storage (in the trunk).
The laws are vague on that, I would talk to your local PD. I wouldn't exactly tell them what you're doing, just to clear up any (is carrying my shotgun in a carrying case in the cab of my car considered concealment or carrying to be placed in the trunk concealment (before it gets to the trunk)?

For a 9mm carbine you could try http://www.hi-pointfirearms.com/
They have one for about $300.00. They are heavy but would work for a car gun.

Look in to a Taurus Judge. It shoots both .410 and .45. I am saving up for one for my car defense. They are flying off the shelves here in Ar.

Thanks alot tekshogun! You gave me some really good ideas and information. I guess you're right about the concealment part though.
I could unload it and lock it in the trunk though right? Maybe in one of those small safes fixed to the inside of the vehicle? As long as it's not concealed from the time I get out to put it in my trunk I guess it would be ok. I could still be discrete with such a small gun.
