About This Episode:
In this episode we discuss how to handle a firearm in a vehicle and when it makes more sense to keep it on our person versus staging it in the car. We cover the safety risks of administrative handling, the challenges of reholstering in a vehicle, and why appendix carry can work well with a seatbelt.
We also talk about the drawbacks of leaving a gun in a vehicle, including theft, access by others, and forgetting it when exiting. Finally, we look at vehicle-mounted storage and staging options, with emphasis on secure mounting, trigger protection, reliability, and keeping the firearm out of view.
As always, any questions or suggestions for future episodes can be submitted to podcast@concealedcarry.com!
