I have a mounted holster in the center console. I usually put my gun it that when I'm in the truck. Much more comfortable and easier to get to it if needed.

Since I have a truck it goes In center console. What do you drive? Does it have a decent place to be put out of site like a door pocket or center console, and when you get out put it back in the holster.

I drive an 07' Acura TL and do you guys take thr holster out as well or just take the gun out of the holster till you get to your destination? Wish there was an easier way to just keep it in the holster on your body. This is for my Glock 19 by the way

I spend a lot of time driving and it has caused me to move my carry position from around 3:30 / 4:00 to about 2:30 since I don't want to take my gun off getting in and out of my truck all day. Its a lot more comfortable there and a lot more accessible. |

But on the other hand it's easier to get at in the consol vs sitting on it.. basically user preference. |

I conceal carry when driving around town the same as I do walking around town.
If its on you, CCW laws apply. If its not on you, castle doctrine or whatever state laws for vehicle transfer apply. Know the laws for each, and what state you are in. Finding a comfort level for driving and walking makes it a lot easier. For me its a sub-compact in a pocket holster. Yes I got multiple others and multiple IWB holsters of different sorts. Multiple high dollar belts. The one you end up taking all the time, and not leaving home for whatever reason is the right one. |

How accessible is that when your sitting down driving with a seat belt wrapped around you? I would have a heck of a time reaching in a pocket while seated. |

Not too hard. seatbelt is a little above pocket. For me Its actually easier then AIWB with seat belt.
The OP asked how you CC while driving. I dont think center counsel or somewhere else in the vehicle is CC. Like you, I prefer to just keep it on me. I never tried shoulder/ underarm. Too warm here. |

You have to move the gun rearward. Make it so the butt rests right in the bolster/seat-back crease. |

The cool guys will make fun but I have found that the best way is in a Fanny Pack Holster. It sits in your lap on top of the seat belt, is readily accessible and comfortable. You can carry a compact .45acp and most 9mm without a problem even when wearing shorts and a t shirt.

Be sure you are clear on your state laws.
For example, here In SC, it's either on you, in the center console or glove box. Anything else, and you are in trouble (unless properly unloaded and placed in a closed case). |

Not all engineers and IT guys wear fanny packs...but it seems as though most fanny pack wearers are engineers or IT guys.

I mounted a fobus holster directly to the underside of the dash and to the right of the steering column. A G22 cut to G23 lives there. Goes in center console of truck. Not too worried about visibility since the truck sits fairly high and has tinted windows. OWB holster when it's cold enough for a jacket.

I reverse the gun.
I use a lefthanded holster on my right side, so the butt of the gun is facing out. it is easier to draw when seated. I don't actually cross draw. I just turn my hand around and pull reversed. it isn't a fast draw and really you couldn't facing correctly in a seated position anyway. I give that up for the ablitlty to sit down and not have it poke the chair I am in. |

For me though, I carry a Glock 42 in an Uncle Mike's size 4 pocket holster behind my wallet in my front pocket. If there is any printing issues, people are going to see my wallet printing and think nothing of it (or that I have a fat wallet  ), but they won't typically recognize it as a weapon. It is a bit harder to draw when seated in a car, but it is certainly comfortable to wear and drive.

95 percent of the time, I carry a 1911 in a holster, small of the back. Have for decades (Ever since my days working drugs). Never had a problem. After years of doing so, relatively easy access, even in the car.
