Where in your vehicle do you keep your gun? Being left-handed, I carry in the driver's side door pocket in a clip-on holster.

[P95Carry]

It's on my hip, OWB approx 3.30 as usual .... sits in a hi-ride and finishes up just behind seatbelt buckle ..... accessible without too much hassle. There will at times be a glovebox BUG. In my truck .. door pocket is fiddly to get at ... and folks can see in it when door open too.

Always on my person .. the only way I feel comfortable ... can't forget it that way either!:)

[gggman]

Always, in a pancake holster OWB at 4:00. My weapon is always on my person. At work, at home or in the car.

Where in your vehicle do you keep your gun?

Just behind my right hip, where it always is.

[M16]

I carry mine iwb as well. But I also carry an extra in a fobus pistol mount that I installed in my pickup. It is a very slick and easy to reach in a emergency.

If I'm going to be doing a lot of driving, I put on a nylon crossdraw rig. I don't have a decent leather one yet for my 1911.

[ExtremeDooty]

That pistol mount is cool!

[CB900F]

Rickster;

I'm also left-handed & usually carry IWB. I've thought about your solution & others, but haven't done anything to date.

I don't want to leave a gun in the vehicle & am not comfortable with the transfer hassle either. Fortunately, car-jacking is an unknown crime here in Montana. Road rage though, isn't.

When I travel, there's frequently a short-barreled 870 in the car.

M16,

Where did you get that Fobus mount?

[M16]

jmcc11,

I bought a bunch of Fobus stuff off a dealer who used to post on this forum. I just can't remember his name. Anyhow it's called the Universal Home & Vehicle Mount. I just checked the Fobus online catalog and they still list it. http://www.fobusholster.com/ You buy the mount and then you can attach any fobus roto holster. I would imagine you could get any fobus dealer to order it for you. I think they will also sell direct. Hope this helps.

[Amish_Bill]

I'm not a big fan of Fobus, but I think I'll have to look into this.

[Steelharp]

When I'm in the car (a Chevy Lumina), I push the barrel down between the front seats; leaves the grip a real handy grab right next to me.

Give this guy a call. He has done me well and I love my Fobus stuff I have purchased from him. He has the BEST pricing on Fobus I have ever seen.

Tell him Steve Levi from Little Elm, TX sent you.

[CrudeGT]

Currently I carry mine in the usual spot, IWB 3:30.

I saw that universal car/house mount today online while doing some browsing. I'm very impressed. I will definitely have to check that out. How hard was it to install, M16? Did you need to drill hole sin the floorboard to bolt it in or anything?

Steve Levi, I just found some peice from Fobus I want to get. I may give your guy a call. Does he work for Fobus? where is he located in the country?

Kel-Tec P-32 in the center console of Ford Ranger

S&W 4516 in the glove box

The Kel-Tec goes in my pocket when I leave the truck. The 4516 goes in an IWB holster, depending on what I'm wearing

[V-fib]

I usually carry in my smartcarry worn a little higher than usual so the grip is sticking out above my belt or I carry it as a verticle under the arm crossdraw. In winter I’ll carry in the right front pocket of my coat. :cool:

[Travis McGee]

Some good ideas here. Remember to comply with state laws where required, to avoid a felony rap and losing your RKBA after a traffic stop.

Travis, check your email.

[jmcc11]

For when you have to leave the vehicle unattended, check these out. No batteries and they even have a model that fits in your console.

A lot of time I'll only have a Kel Tec 380 in my pocket.

But other than the carry guns I'm wearing, the cars and truck have a pistol by the driver's seat and 1 or 2 pistols elsewhere.

There's also an M1 Carbine or SKS as close by as possible.

Here's how I keep my Browning HP in my truck's console.

I got a cheap nylon holster with an adjustable thumbbreak. Took the thumbbreak off, and used the velcro panel on the holster to mount the holster in the console. On the console side, I used Shoe Goo to glue the opposite side of the velcro inside the console. It keeps the gun secure...as you can see, I've got plenty of room for CDs (Lyle Lovett is currently playing :D ), and I've got room for other odds and ends. The gun is almost always hidden from view, and the console is lockable in the event I need to leave the truck for any length of time.

What's the FMS gadget mounted on your dash?

[AZLibertarian]

What's the FMS gadget mounted on your dash?This is a very long story, but the short version is that my truck runs on either Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or unleaded. The gadget is the control to switch between the two. FMS=Fuel Management System.

[MaterDei]

Ohhh. :cool:

[B_Scott]

This usually works for me...especially when people are going slow in the fast lane! :evil:

[AZLibertarian]

B.Scott,

Your photo reminds me of the photo I've attached.

Years ago, when my son was in Cub Scouts, we went to the factory where they make the Apache helicopter. At the end of the tour, they gave us a bunch of promotional stuff, which included a calendar with a number of photos of stuff McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) was making.

Among these photos, was this HMMV that McD was trying to get the Army to buy as a light air-defense weapon (I think). The Army never bought it, but it was a cool idea, so I saved the picture. [I laminated my original, and it hangs over my workbench in the garage!]

They took the chin-gun off the Apache, turned it upside down, mounted it on a turret, and you end up with the Ultimate SUV. At the time, I told my son that "That's my Next Truck", and he replied "I don't think it'll fit in the garage". My reply: "Son. With that gun, remodeling the garage will take no time at all." :D

[AZLibertarian]

Woops. I guess my photo is too big to post, although I didn't get a message to that effect. The combination of my meager computer skills, and not enough time this morning to work this out now will mean that I'll have to get back to it later.

Bummer.

[ScottS]

AZLibertarian, Watch out!

Someone evildoer stuck a Lyle Lovett CD in your console! Boy, that'll teach you to lock your truck.

Thought you should know. Never can be too careful.

I purchased a portable safe at a gun show. It has 4 push buttons for the combination and comes with a steel cable that allows be to attach it to the frame work in the trunk of the car, or to the seats in the truck. I set the combo so that two quick hits opens the safe, and the glock has a combo trigger lock on it (also easy to open, even in the dark.....I practice). Loaded mag is located not far away, but since it is not with the gun it satisfies the letter of the law. Only used if I find myself far from home and wanting to go somewhere/do something that mandates not carrying at that time....water slides and watering holes come to mind. Otherwise it rests just fine where it usually is.
