The question says it all.
I ask for 2 reasons:
1) I've always wondered with the shirt draped over and the seatbelt on, how fast (or slow) I'd draw. I've practiced a few times - seems ok.... but could stand to be better. You never know if something could happen to you while driving. Especially if going through a bad area.
the second reason is a new one
2) I posted a week or so ago about a lockbox for a Toyota Avalon as I was going to purchase one. The deal didn't work out unfortunately, so after looking around again I ultimately went with an Infiniti G35. Nice looking car, and bought it for a good price, but I noticed today as I drove it home from the dealership that it is as many reviewers have said, "A snug fit.".... not tight.... but snug. It's comfortable, but - I can't possibly see having my gun on me in the driver's seat as I'm a slightly larger guy (trying to lose weight - of course).
Naturally, I was a bit concerned when I realized this. I didn't think about it when I test-drove, because I carried a snubby in the pocket (which is still possible). However, my typical Glock 23, I can't possibly see carrying without it being trapped between my side and the plastic center console.
Prior to this car, I drove a Honda Accord Coupe, which did have the necessary room to carry.
Anyways, I don't think this is the end of the world - but for those of you who do take off your gun when you get in your car, where does it go? Do you have some alternative setup in the car that can be accessed quickly? Also, how do you get the gun from the holster to whatever carrier is in the car without people seeing?
Thanks. A bit of an oversight on my part, but surely it can be rectified with some creativity. On the other hand, plan B is just to lose more weight faster.
