I use the serpa for work for about 6years now and its an awesome holster (with proper training). You'll see people complain that the finger retention makes it to where your finger slides into the trigger guard when drawing. No, it slides onto the frame as long as you rest your finger on the button release not push it in with the tip of your finger like an idiot.

I carry my SIG in a Blackhawk holster with an extra mag, under the dash by the steering wheel. The holster is nylon, so it doesn't rub against my knee too bad. I'm going to have to switch to a kydex or hard shell holster, the nylon is starting to sag a bit. I keep my AR10 in a case in the hatch area, next to the brace, and a well-stocked first aid kit behind the passenger seat. Never hurts to be prepared.

Kansas is moving towards constitutional carry (no permit required), it just takes time. We have an outstanding person working towards that, she's the President of KSRA. She's been the primary reason our gun & knife laws have been evolving, got open-carry approved and over-rode the cities ordinances prohibiting it AND got it to where the chief LEO has to sign Form 4 for NFA Items (SBR & suppressors). It's great to live in Kansas if you are a gun owner.

I'm curious as to why y'all want to keep a gun at the ready in a car. When I tote my guns to the range, I usually put them in the hatch/trunk. Do you travel into rough areas or is it an "as long as I'm carrying, it might as well be handy" thing? Not that I think you shouldn't (2nd Amendment FTW), I've just seldom felt the need to have a gun while driving my car.

Since I have a permit, I carry everywhere I go. It's like putting on my boots and belt, the SIG goes everywhere I go. I feel a little 'exposed' when I have to travel without it. We had an issue here in KC not too long ago with a moron taking potshots at people on the highway, so I figured a little extra 'reach out and touch someone' was needed. Just my

If your level of paranoia extends to the point where you feel the need to carry a gun at all, then at some point you're likely to travel from point A to point B, and it will likely be in your car. What are you going to do with the gun you're carrying? The bucket seat of a Z doesn't lend itself well to comfortable carry in a waist-level holster, especially for some body types or some holster types. I find that for my size and shape, a leather OWB holster works fine so I just leave it on my belt, but if it didn't, I'd have to find some place to put the thing in the car so I could sit comfortably.

In this state, if you have a PTC it doesn't matter whether you carry open or concealed, nor does it matter if you carry in a car, on your person, in the glove box, in a lock box, or laying on your dashboard (although the latter concept may very well draw some unwanted law enforcement attention, even though completely legal).

eta: I suppose you could make the case that, of all the places you might need a gun to defend yourself, your car might be one of the more likely in a relative sense, acknowledging that overall, the need for lethal force for self defense is an extraordinarily unlikely thing for most of us.

i'm a paranoid Minarchist an i want to be ready for as much as I can be or afford lol.

Thanks for the replies.

For those of you asking about storing your firearm in your vehicle, keep this in mind. If your car/truck gets broke into and they steel your gun can the cops gig you for not securing your firearm? Almost happened to a friend of mine. Cop told him he could do that but he didn't.

thats crap, MOST cops don't know s#*t about firearm laws (some do),I have at least 4 cops I'm related to and know a lot more an they are almost always wrong when they try to explain the firearm laws, they usually call me asking what they are.
an if u do get in trouble for something u shouldn't be then it's easy to fight it.
best thing for U to do Is learn the laws in your state yourself by reading your states Statutes.

florida's is chapter 790:

We used to do a tactical pistol competition at our club every year. Local PD vs members. Cops never won! LOL

Getting closer to buying a new piece to conceal. Having a hard time deciding between Springfield XDs, Kahr P9, and M&P shield. I've got a guy that built my AR leaning me toward the M&P and doing a trigger job on it. Kinda worried about doing that for a concealed piece though, given the legal issues.

Kimber CDP II! lol I may be partial to it...

if I had to choose of those three M&P. But I really like my kimber. Couldn't imagine using any other firearm for carry.

Nice Piece!!! I have a larger Kimber 1911. The CDP is a little bigger than I'd like. I'm a pretty athletic person and when I'm out I don't always where the baggiest type clothing! lol I want something with a smaller profile.

I bought an XDs for my wife (right) and it's a fantastic piece. Very comfortable for such a small. 45.
