I'm not familiar with the CCW laws in CA. I took IL/UT/AZ/FL CCW. All of those deem your car a safe haven. You can conceal in your car but have to lock it up when in the parking lot of a restricted carry area.

Thanks for the link. I saw some of those drawers for the jeeps. But I haven't been able to find anything like that for my vehicle. The darn GPS unit is under the drivers seat anyhow. Might have to find something that attaches inside the door pocket, console storage or glove box I guess. Or just a holster for the glove box since that locks.

I would just use my glovebox. Wish I could haha. I bought a clam shell with a cable lock. That's okay... cause its not mounted... just tied to my car :ugh2:

glove box seems to be a good option unless I make something custom for the center console. I'd still like to find a holster for it in the glove box. Prefferably attached so it doesn't bounce around int there.

I use the serpa for work for about 6years now and its an awesome holster (with proper training). You'll see people complain that the finger retention makes it to where your finger slides into the trigger guard when drawing. No, it slides onto the frame as long as you rest your finger on the button release not push it in with the tip of your finger like an idiot.

honestly if u don't find anything to buy there all right the glovebox fits all that criteria and that's what I use now for g26 and it sits in a remora rubber holster on top of the owners manual.
it never moves, very snug.
them my XDs sits in a holster in the rear cubby.

also if u wanted u can get a pocket pistol an fabricate something for the dash if u don't have the nav package in there

I carry my SIG in a Blackhawk holster with an extra mag, under the dash by the steering wheel. The holster is nylon, so it doesn't rub against my knee too bad. I'm going to have to switch to a kydex or hard shell holster, the nylon is starting to sag a bit. I keep my AR10 in a case in the hatch area, next to the brace, and a well-stocked first aid kit behind the passenger seat. Never hurts to be prepared. :)

To be honest, I view Texas as having rather restrictive gun laws overall (although better than California, certainly). Even more restrictive than, say, here in Minnesota - The Land of Al Franken.

Kansas is moving towards constitutional carry (no permit required), it just takes time. We have an outstanding person working towards that, she's the President of KSRA. She's been the primary reason our gun & knife laws have been evolving, got open-carry approved and over-rode the cities ordinances prohibiting it AND got it to where the chief LEO has to sign Form 4 for NFA Items (SBR & suppressors). It's great to live in Kansas if you are a gun owner. :)

I'm curious as to why y'all want to keep a gun at the ready in a car. When I tote my guns to the range, I usually put them in the hatch/trunk. Do you travel into rough areas or is it an "as long as I'm carrying, it might as well be handy" thing? Not that I think you shouldn't (2nd Amendment FTW), I've just seldom felt the need to have a gun while driving my car.

RBfastback 10-23-2014 11:12 AM

i'm a paranoid Minarchist an i want to be ready for as much as I can be or afford lol.

also it makes me feel better.

Since I have a permit, I carry everywhere I go. It's like putting on my boots and belt, the SIG goes everywhere I go. I feel a little 'exposed' when I have to travel without it. We had an issue here in KC not too long ago with a moron taking potshots at people on the highway, so I figured a little extra 'reach out and touch someone' was needed. Just my :twocents:

If your level of paranoia extends to the point where you feel the need to carry a gun at all, then at some point you're likely to travel from point A to point B, and it will likely be in your car. What are you going to do with the gun you're carrying? The bucket seat of a Z doesn't lend itself well to comfortable carry in a waist-level holster, especially for some body types or some holster types. I find that for my size and shape, a leather OWB holster works fine so I just leave it on my belt, but if it didn't, I'd have to find some place to put the thing in the car so I could sit comfortably.

In this state, if you have a PTC it doesn't matter whether you carry open or concealed, nor does it matter if you carry in a car, on your person, in the glove box, in a lock box, or laying on your dashboard (although the latter concept may very well draw some unwanted law enforcement attention, even though completely legal).

eta: I suppose you could make the case that, of all the places you might need a gun to defend yourself, your car might be one of the more likely in a relative sense, acknowledging that overall, the need for lethal force for self defense is an extraordinarily unlikely thing for most of us.
