I OC a Glock 23 pretty much everywhere I go except the office, where the company has a weapons policy.
I keep a combination tac light/laser aim on the rails to improve night aim and aiming from less than optimal positions, as I would guess many self-defense positions might tend to be. I'd rather this not turn into a discussion about aiming with lasers. At the range, the only time the laser is on is to calibrate it. Otherwise, I shoot utilizing the regular sights. The laser is there solely in the event I cannot take a shooting stance, accurately aim and then fire. In a self-defense situation, who knows what the environment could become and what obstacles might prevent a perfect shooting position?
Anyway, OC outside the vehicle is no big deal because it's clearly visible, but when I'm driving, I've heard mention of the gun being visible from outside, etc.
Is it OK to leave the weapon holstered and on my hip while driving? If so, what is the proper procedure if pulled over?
If it's not OK to leave holstered, should the gun be placed conspicuously in the dashboard? I suspect that might result in a code response from LEO especially if I politely blare the horn at a taxi driver failing to proceed at a green light.
How do you carry in the car?
Thanks
