I do not wear or carry armor on a daily basis (retired). If "travelling" tho, shotgun and plate carrier in the boot.

I tell everybody who asked when well we know things have turned bad I tell them when you see me with my armor on, web gear and my carbine hanging from its tac sling.

I mostly carry shotgun because it is bird season of some type.

A rifle because coyotes need shooting year around.

This was one of the MANY mistakes made by the FBI in the infamous 1986 Miami shootout. Instead of holstering or otherwise securing sidearms when getting into the vehicle for more chasing, the driver put his gun on the seat. He was shot while reaching under the dash to retrieve it after the screeching stop.

Hello everyone, I am trying to find some information about holsters or other quickly accessible methods of carrying a handgun in a vehicle as my standard carry position makes it difficult to draw while seated in my car. I tried searching the forum for recommendations but didn't get any good hits, maybe I didn't search the right terms?

Please let me know how you carry in a vehicle, especially if it is off-body and provide recommendations for equipment types and brands which you would recommend!

In case it is relevant I have a manual transmission on the floor. I was thinking about a "saddle bag" type of setup where I could just have it by my right leg below the shifter on the tunnel wall.

Thanks in advance!!

I'm a fan of shoulder and same-side ankle carry.
