BobS Posted February 27, 2015 at 02:56 PM Share Posted February 27, 2015 at 02:56 PM "Concealed firearm" means a loaded or unloaded handguncarried on or about a person completely or mostly concealedfrom view of the public or on or about a person within avehicle. 1) Sitting in my truck with a seatbelt buckled doesn’t make for very comfortable carry. Does “on or about” mean I can keep a handgun wedged between the seat and console or in a map pocket as long as it is not openly visible? 2) My truck’s bed is unsecure. If I leave the vehicle and store in the console or glove box does the handgun need to be unloaded? Thanks, kind of new to all this… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read carefully, it does not have to be concealed if it's within a vehicle. It's still a good idea to keep it mostly out of sight though. 2) No, there are no storage laws for vehicles.

Molly B. Posted February 27, 2015 at 03:18 PM Share Posted February 27, 2015 at 03:18 PM 1) Yes. As long as it is not openly visible. IllinoisCarry stance is that it does need to be concealed from public view in your vehicle. 2) the handgun does not have to be unloaded to be stored in glove box or console.

vito Posted February 27, 2015 at 03:38 PM Share Posted February 27, 2015 at 03:38 PM One of the reasons I really like to carry OWB is that it is fully comfortable while seated, including in my car with the seat belt buckled. I wear the holster at about the 3 or 4 o'clock position and despite having a rather well padded abdomen, the gun never seems to bother me at all. I would have a tough time drawing the gun while driving, but I don't think it is at all likely that I might ever need to do so. Occasionally I have un-holstered my gun when I got into my car and placed it on the passenger seat with something covering it from view, then re-holstered it when I arrived at my destination. Pocket carry works as well for a very small gun (like my Ruger LCP). IWB for me is not at all comfortable when seated, since the butt of the gun inevitably pokes into my stomach while seated, and even if I un-holster the gun I would have to be standing to re-holster it.

spec5 Posted February 27, 2015 at 03:53 PM Share Posted February 27, 2015 at 03:53 PM OP maybe you should try a different holster that does feel more comfortable. Mine carries fine seated in the car. I know I have it on but it isn't uncomfortable. You might also consider that if you don't keep it on, you will have to unholster and reholster in the car which I always want to avoid.

w9trb Posted February 27, 2015 at 04:38 PM Share Posted February 27, 2015 at 04:38 PM A crossdraw holster works really well when wearing your seatbelt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangrel Posted February 27, 2015 at 04:45 PM Share Posted February 27, 2015 at 04:45 PM 1) In your vehicle and under your control would cover "about." 2) In glove compartment does not need to be unloaded, but if you are in a statutory prohibited parking lot, either the glove compartment or the vehicle needs to be locked.

Hipshot Percussion Posted February 27, 2015 at 04:53 PM Share Posted February 27, 2015 at 04:53 PM I wish someone would make a kydex inside of kydex holster. You're gun goes into a kydex shell and that slides into a kydex holster and snaps into place. Then when in the car, you press the snap (maybe on the front of the holser on top of the slide) and your gun AND shell slide out, then put in the box. When reholstering, the holster on your person stays wide open because its kydex and allows you to drop in the gun and IT'S shell - with a tigger guard of course. Just a thought...

Jsanc Posted February 27, 2015 at 06:17 PM Share Posted February 27, 2015 at 06:17 PM I agree, OWB carry is more comfortable for me at least at about 330 position while driving and buckled up, been carrying like that for almost a year now (March 5th) and its almost like its not even there. Glove box, console all good loaded as long as you have your CCW license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevepk Posted February 27, 2015 at 08:20 PM Share Posted February 27, 2015 at 08:20 PM ^^^^^^^Have you looked at Remora Holsters? Pull the whole rig, put it back and gun has never left the hoslter. Just say'n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just say'nYes..I own one. Yet the idea is still intriguing..Imagine a hybrid kydex (ala crossbreed) with a small release button to unholster a secondary shell that covers only the trigger.Yet..when replaced is done much easier because of the inherent existing shell already in the waistband. This would be opposed to the sliding, dancing and repositioning done with a Remora...Hey! Folks eschew different holsters for other small reasons...

BobS Posted February 27, 2015 at 08:47 PM Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 at 08:47 PM Till I come up with something better (CZ 75 PCR, for example) I’m carrying a Ruger SP101 in a Remora holster. It can be worn flipped right or left handed 360 degrees IWB. Removed effortlessly and stashed between car seat and console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull the whole rig, put it back and gun has never left the hoslter. Just say'nI'm assuming you aren't one of the "bigger kids on the block." :) The problem is not getting it out, its getting it back in, while seated, between an already too tight belt and my fat keester. The holster flattens out below the mouth, making it a real struggle to reholster. I see MagSlap understands the concept. Maybe with a double stack pistol, even two more thicknesses of kydex might be a lot, but for those who carry single stack, two more thicknesses wouldn't be much.

BradS Posted February 27, 2015 at 11:06 PM Share Posted February 27, 2015 at 11:06 PM How well does a shoulder holster work in such a situation?
