Car Weapon

[Mickard]

Do you carry a different weapon in your car if you have a CCW permit? Maybe a better way of saying it, where do you place your weapon while in car?

Not yet but a judge is on my list.

Ok, I know but I'll say it this time. Indiana has an LTCH not a CCW. Now that thats out of the way. The only weapon I carry is the one I'm carrying that day unless I'm going to the range or to the woods. And those are either in my backseat or my pistol which is on my hip 99.9% of the time.

I usually carry my same daily carry weapon. I normally keep carrying it (my CCW holster and locaton work fine while seated), but when I do take it off, I usually keep it in the holster, and wedge it between the front seat and center seat in my truck. Hard to explain, but my truck has two buckets and a center console/3rd seat.

The advantage to this is both comfort and also accessibility.

I think there was a thread a while back that someone showed a similar method.

On my person.

I don't leave weapons in the car....it is always on my person.

 

[Glock17 Man]

I just keep it on me.

I prefer the knowledge that my gun is on me and not sitting in my vulnerable car when I'm away.

I have to go into establishments that require me to go through a metal detector. Example my bank, yes my neighborhood bank. So I bought one of those gun safes secured by a cable to the seat frame. Its not my choice to leave my gun in the car ever. But like I said there are those occasions. Although I can secure it without anyone seeing what I'm doing unless they are standing right next to the car looking in I always make sure no one see's me disarm myself.

I carry and never leave my firearm in the car. I have been "broken into" too many times to trust the car to protect my gun.

I have a gun that I carry in the truck all the time with 3 extra mags! plus the one I have on me.

I can't carry at work (airport) so when I'm going to work I leave my XD at home and throw my Kel Tec 380 in the console. Any other time my XD is on my hip.

Same here, I have this random scenerio in my head that if I was to leave a gun in my car, and came back to it while someone was either currently breaking into, or just finished breaking into my car, that now I have just inadvertently armed him...something about that just bothers me (and I have had cars broken into on 4 occasions)

Sometimes my 12 ga likes to go on road trips with me and other times my sub 2K likes to ride along. I usually won't take them along if I will be away from the vehicle to go into establishments...they are mainly with me on long road trips.

I got me one of those cheap nylon elastic ankle holsters that I stretched over my sun visor. When I am in the car that is where my LCP is located for quick access if needed. When I go into a no-gun establishment, my handguns are stored in an underseat, secured gun safe.
