ALWAYS START EVERY PROJECT WITH A CLEARED WEAPON W/O MAGAZINE
After trying the magnet mount and an Uncle Mike's RH nylon holster I had laying around, I bought a left hand UM's and mounted my 9mm MilPro this evening. Total cost: $15 (with supplies on hand) NOTE: Applies only where legal. And this is NOT a pro/con gun-in-the-car thread, please. Left hand holster allows retention with the strap and snap. (Eliminates the flying-object-in-collision objection) Covered with a small hand towel and mounted low behind tinted windows it is concealed. Hope this helps someone. Self explanatory, so here are the pictures:

Wouldn't be Legal in Illinois, but I can dream.........one day Move to TX. Castle law changed here about 2y ago and you are allowed to carry in your car any time now because it's legally considered an extention of your home. What's the straight dope on this? |

Carrying a concealed handgun in a car has nothing to do with "castle law". Quoted:
9/2008 Any Texas resident who can legally own a firearm can carry a concealed handgun, loaded, in their car at all times when driving anywhere within the state border. No CHL is required to carry it in the car. Actually no. Since you covered "concealed", there are 3 other instances where you cannot carry a handgun in the car. Sec. 46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun, illegal knife, or club if the person is not: (1) on the person's own premises or premises under the person's control; or (2) inside of or directly en route to a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under the person's control. (a-1) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun in a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under the person's control at any time in which: (1) the handgun is in plain view; or (2) the person is: (A) engaged in criminal activity, other than a Class C misdemeanor that is a violation of a law or ordinance regulating traffic; (B) prohibited by law from possessing a firearm; or (C) a member of a criminal street gang, as defined by Section 71.01. (a-2) For purposes of this section, "premises" includes real property and a recreational vehicle that is being used as living quarters, regardless of whether that use is temporary or permanent. In this subsection, "recreational vehicle" means a motor vehicle primarily designed as temporary living quarters or a vehicle that contains temporary living quarters and is designed to be towed by a motor vehicle. The term includes a travel trailer, camping trailer, truck camper, motor home, and horse trailer with living quarters. (b) Except as provided by Subsection (c), an offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor. (c) An offense under this section is a felony of the third degree if the offense is committed on any premises licensed or issued a permit by this state for the sale of alcoholic beverages. |

Missouri also allows you to carry a concealed firearm in your vehicle without a permit (restrictions of ownership and possession apply) they also say that employers can not prohibit you from having a firearm in your car on thier property provided you don't brandish it (keep it out of sight) and you wouldn't have to live in Texas

What's better in the $15-$20 price range? I'll upgrade if it's cost/benefit effective. Even a Blade-Tech injection molded type would be better than that thing, and they're cheap. Yea, that towel is no good too. Get a proper tactical in the car holster concealment towel. I think I saw a decent one made by 5.11 Tac.  Nice job BTW.

You may have quite possible hit on the best use for those holsters. Set up an account with Uncle Mike and open a cottage industry from your house. Or have your own holsters made and sell them in kit form.
Tactical Auto Supply for all your highway ninja needs. Might need to put some scotch guard on the towel for my kit, i have an uncanny ability to spill my coffee .
I think you are on to something big here. A year or two down the road you could have a TV show where you bitch at all of your talented employees as they make and install English burl, Mink, Gator, and all forms of super fancy holsters for the wanna be thug stars and rich folk into their ultra luxury vehicles, private planes, and homes. Good Luck, now get busy, I will be down in my 41 for my super ninja highway holster right after you become wealthy beyond your wildest dreams from this idea. |
