    Wherever I can CC le
    If I'm going a long distance, or somewhere I can't carry (A school, the courthouse, work) I tuck the holster and pistol (G22) in between the drivers seat and center console. If I'm just out and about with the family I pretty much let it ride where it is... (usually IWB@04:00 or OWB@03:00)

    Luckily in my truck there is a nice little ridge that supports the pistol nicely and it rides quite well right there.

    Oh, and I'll be cleaning out my truck today at lunch.... I can't believe how dirty it is! Pictures have a way of making you see what you overlook on a daily basis I guess.

    I can't carry while I'm at work, so I have a dedicated truck gun under the driver's seat in a nano case. When I'm going to/from work and not carrying, I remove my 9mm and place it in one of these.

    Universal Vehicle Handgun Holster Mount - Steering Wheel Column Application

    Easily accessible with a quick draw if necessary.

    Otherwise when I'm not going to/from work I just leave the truck gun in it's case because I always have my EDC on my hip.

    Currently the sig stays in the holster at varying between 3-4 and IWB and OWB. Ruger MKII in the rear pocket of the passenger seat when the kids aren't in the car or in the glovebox when they are. But I got a new toy so the MKII will go in the safe and the 357 will play the role of BUG in the car depending on the occasion.

    I hope you never get caught(or are you talking about parking off of school property?).

    A buddy and I picked up a car seat holster at one of the 1500's that buckles around the bottom the cushion. When driving, it is right in between your legs, and when you need to "hide" it, you can rotate the strap to where the gun is rotated all the way under the seat.

    The website is carseatholster.com.

    It has been discussed, well both it and the immensely negative things about it.

    I typically keep a Taurus 738 somewhere about my car, in a "Sticky" holster, very similar to the Uncle Mikes pocket holsters.

    Generally, when I get in the car, I remove it from the glove box or center console, and set it just under my right thigh, (still in the holster obviously.) Gives me fast access, and I can conceal it by just shifting my leg a bit. Want something more "permanent" eventually, but for now this will do.

    I just go ahead and leave it holstered IWB on right hip with the shirt moved out of the way for easy reach. Gets locked up when i get to work, but i go ahead and wear the holster all day.

    I use this in my 2000 Ranger. It uses a Fobus Roto holster. It would work in any vehicle, mounts either vertical or horizontal.

    I have one of these also on my side of the Escape and a SERPA w/ QD on the other side. I also keep at least my select fire SBR in there too with its paperwork of course. Last but not least the one on my hip stays on my hip in its holster. Mine is in a different position though sitting farther back.

    I generally leave whatever in my holster on me the same as any other time.

    In addition, I generally have a 9 in the driver's door pocket or in the cupholder in the center counsol where it is in easy reach and ready to go.

    I tried an old De Santis fanny pack on my last trip to Michigan, side came loose at a pit stop and my enclosed in the holster muzzle end of the GLOCK stuck out. Will go back to the Glock in the front pocket carry next time.
