Curious about this. If you get pulled over, I imagine you announce your firearm and where it's located. Do you pass over your C&C along with your license, registration, and insurance? For those of you who have been pulled over with a C&C firearm in plain sight, any tense moments?

I'm not a proponent of any specific method of carrying while driving or just having it at the ready while in the car. I have a good friend who's had a CCP for decades, he always had it on the passenger seat under a towel.

We all will have different approaches of carrying while in the car. What that means is it's nobody's business how one decides to carry.

What bothers me the most is that now several states have legalized carry and conceal without a permit. That will put more idiots with guns in cars. Not me........I took the course and have a permit. I took the privilege and 2nd Amendment very serious.

So, terry56............keep doing your thing and be safe.

Nice. IWB dude here. I won't lie though, with all the crazy and evil folks out there these days, every time we drive the Challenger I ditch my normal "compact" and go with a full size, IWB. Can't be too careful, and God forbid we experience it, there are evil criminal animals out there that operate in packs.

I'm a lover, not a fighter, but we really believe in the "plan for the worst, hope for the best" thing.

I installed a gun safe on the passenger side of the console, that can be opened with one hand without looking, for those rare times I cannot take a weapon with me. It's very easy for me to reach it, and it can also be opened with its tube key if need be. The safe is bolted to steel.

@terry56

Every state has its own laws regarding transporting a firearm in a vehicle. Obviously your state allows carrying in the vehicle like that, but that does not apply to all states. If you have a concealed weapons permit you were trained and educated on what is, and is not legal. IMO, you posting this here, showing it mounted in your car is rather irresponsible!

Here it is perfectly legal to carry a loaded ar15 pistol on the front passenger seat with a 50 round mag if one wishes and if the situation dictated i thought it might be necessary i certainly would.

Nothing terry did is irresponsible, the 2nd amendment gives us rights and many states allow either open or concealed carry, whether you agree or disagree is irreverent, laws be laws for a reason and if you are following the laws of your state you don't really have to give a hoot about other more liberal states who's laws are more strict allowing criminals to run rampant. unless of course you are crossing into them on a road trip.

Just me but too visible to LEO's. I don't want an "uncomfortable" situation. Or be scrambling to cover it. There are more discreet options. IMO.

If you are carrying a firearm with you in your vehicle and you get pulled over while you have a permit for it, you are supposed to inform the officer that you are carrying a firearm and it's location, that is the law for that in every state. I was on my way to work one morning and was in fact speeding and did not have a firearm with me that morning. Gave the cop my license, registration and proof of insurance, he had already ran my tags so he had my info already. His first question is do you have a firearm with you this morning.

The fashionable military/gang age male invaders here are wearing camo. Neighbors down the road from me have been taking pictures of them for the past few weeks as they await a stream of paid D.A. American teenagers arriving in their Honda Civics to transport them into town. They ditch their camo just before getting in the cars. I suspect that they are all farm workers looking for a better life because those types of folks always sneak into a country in camo, right? Thanks Joe. BTW if anyone wants some slightly used camo uniforms for free, come get 'em. You probably paid for them through your taxes anyway in the form of foreign aid.

To try and keep this on topic and related to the OP's post. I simply do not know the answer to this question, but I will ask it...

Chargers are very similar to our Challengers, and they are a common law enforcement vehicle. Are there any mounts / devices / holsters / locking safes / etc that are designed for Chargers that could be used in our Challengers??

No Law Enforcement Agency is going to allow a handgun to be carried in anything other than on the LEO's person. Shotgun and Tactical Rifle mounts are a different story. There are plenty of 'gun safes' for vehicles on the market. I have one in every car and use it for other valuables as well as my pistol if I will be in a place/business that restricts firearms.

You guys got it tough. In New Jersey we don't worry about stuff like this. We just make sure our Blue Cross/Blue Shield, home & car insurance are paid and our organ donor permission square is checked off on our driver license. Don't want to cause any anxiety or fear to our unfortunate criminal types. After all they are only trying to feed their family... have some compassion.

Carrying on one's person in a car is difficult for me to do comfortably. Crossdraw would make sense there, but I haven't tried it yet, not recently. I had a crossdraw decades ago for a 4" Python. I am thinking of affixing one of those pistol magnets on the underside of my console lid. The thing is, my stuff is old school. Command and High Power. SOB isn't comfortable seated and high ride on hip gets covered by the seat belt. Appendix has a few worries for sure. Living in a warm clime doesn't help either. A shoulder rig would work, but who wears a jacket when it's over 100?

Here in Texas, I was told to inform the Police officer that I had a CC.To tell him where the weapon was located and to hand over the CCL with all paperwork requested. Never had a problem with the Federal guys neither crossing the check points. I have a magnetic Holster that mounts under the dash. Never installed it. I still have it here in my cave looking at me. When I travel, the gun sits on the seat next to me unless I take a break. Then I take it in with me. Just got to make sure I don't shake the gun by mistake and pee on myself.

I dont disclose any info to Law Enorcement during traffic stops. I give them the documentation which is required by law and that is all. If they ask me questons I respectfully inform them that I will not be answering any questions. I also have a dash cam which is in plain site.

My firearm is not in plain site. I do not tell them I have firearms in the vehicle, even if they ask.

I am not anti Law Enforement, as I am a LEO myself. A lot of good cops out there, but just as many bad ones that have no problem violating the rights of law abbiding citizens intentionally, or out of ignorance.

Know your rights, invest in a good dash cam.
