Good article. Especially

"Having quick access to OC stored in your vehicle is also advisable. Regarding weapons in your vehicle, I have heard some suggest that it is ok to have your firearm tucked under your strong side thigh so it will be quicker to access. Personally, I think an unsecured firearm in a vehicle can be dangerous in the event of an accident."

Personally, I want to have the gun secured ON me in the event a quick exit happens to be necessary.

My son and I fixing to make a little road trip right now. "On bod" gun is comfy lil' ol' PM-9 IWB. "Road gun" again this trip is Glock 29, still loaded with 200-grain XTPs from hunting season. Hopefully, no need for either of 'em - or the two different "flavors" of OC. Y'all have a good weekend.

Good idea. I know one of the FBI agents in the Miami shootout lost his gun that was sitting on the seat when the cars collided. Not a good thing to be in a shootout without a gun.

Good thinking. For vehicles, because of the difficulty in accessing the typical strong-side hip holster, I always like to use a Safepacker from The Wilderness. It is basically an enclosed, nylon holster that attaches low on your seatbelt. It keeps a handgun pretty accessible from the seated position, keeps the handgun secured if you get into an accident or have to brake suddenly, and keeps the handgun concealed. You can even prep-open the holster discreetly to speed your draw if necessary (just undo the buckle) and the handgun is still covered.

By the way, if you use this and you get stopped by a LEO and he wants you to get out of the vehicle or disarm you, just use your left hand to slide the closed holster up the seatbelt strap from your right hip to your left shoulder. (Communicate to him what it is you are doing, make sure he understands and agrees with this, etc.)

Hope this helps!

Do you have a link where these can be purchased?
