For the purposes of this question, let's assume you have a full size (say the size of a S&W M&P) 9mm or 40 in your vehicle.
Assume vehicle has 2 bucket seats center console between the seats (with compartment that can hold the gun), glove box, door pockets which can hold the gun. Enough room under the seat to hold the gun.
Considering as variables LH vs RH shooter, and SUV height vs Sedan. What would you say is the best location for positioning a single weapon listed above to bring it to bear on a threat outside your vehicle (assume threat has materialized 20 ft or less from your vehicle)? Typical car jacking scenario in high density urban area.
I of course have a similar set up for myself, I have a Chevy TB. I have been keeping my weapon strong side on my person as the seat belt does not interfere with my draw, and I can quickly get the gun without anyone clearly seeing what I am doing. I could also do it while stepping out of the vehicle. My concern has been in a carjacking situation, if a BG was rapidly approaching the drivers side with a weapon drawn, my only option would be to shoot through the door or window. which does not provide an optimal amount of room to point and aim.
Any thoughts to the scenario above? If having the gun on your person the best? Would it be better off in another concealed location in the vehicle?
