Where does your handgun go when you're driving?

Why not just keep the one on you? A gun left in the car is just something to get stolen, and will not be easily accessed with the same reaction of your regular drawstroke.

I used to keep a model 10 in a thumb break holster strapped to the cage of my work van. Very quick access, and just as secure as if it had been on my hip under the seatbelt. Something to get stolen? Considering I had a minimum of $10,000 worth of tools and equipment in the van at any one time, a $100 model 10 was the least of my concerns.

With the kind of work I was doing, it ruled out just about anything but pocket carry or thunderwear, so my carry gun was not terribly accessible when I was sitting in the vehicle.
 
i keep my 1911 at 4' o clock, it never leaves the holster. i dont feel the need for a BUG in the car, as i usually keep one on my person. theres been a lot of vehicle break ins and guns stolen outta cars around my area.

Cup holder? Not secure in an accident, unless you have some unmentioned retaining system.

See post 39

I have one in my pocket as well. And if some situation occurs where the other guy in the accident is a bad guy and he stumbles out of his car and picks up my Sig that was thrown from the wreckage before I can grab my BG 380 well then sir it just wasn't my day. :D
 
I saw the photo in 39; I can't make out any retention system.

I would worry less about being attacked, post-wreck, than about being carted away by ambulance, unconscious, and having an eight year old find a loaded gun in the grass by the roadside.
