To be clear, I am NOT talking about a "trunk gun" or leaving a gun in the car (i.e. glovebox) 100% of the time. That has been hashed to death recently in this section and the general gun section of the forums. What I am talking about is this:
My current methods of carry are usually IWB, OWB, or pocket. When in the car, pretty much anything but a leg rig (either drop thigh or ankle holster) is going to be covered by the seat belt or the seat, and pocket carry is going to be very difficult to get to should I need my gun quickly. I knew it before, I just didn't realize it, that being in the car is probably my weakest point while CCWing because of the slow draw.
So my question becomes (and I know there's many answers to this question): what do I do to fix this vulnerability? I've seen ankle holsters mentioned by some, but in order to use an ankle holster I will have to change the way I dress entirely.
Another option I was looking at is getting a holster for my car, and transferring from my hip/pocket to the holster when I get in the car, and back to my person before I leave the car. The problem with this option is that it wouldn't help me if I am in someone else's car, and I am often the passenger (I hate driving).
I do realize that the generic answer is "why do you need a gun? You're in a car, just drive away!" Well, depending on traffic or the situation, you may not be able to just drive away.
What do you do while you're in the car to offer ease of drawing in that situation?
