Do you live in the bad part of town?

smoothTitan · 11-08-2005, 09:50 PM

I'm not trying to offend you here, just want to make sure you've thought this all the way through.

As someone who carries concealed nearly 100% of the time, I practice drawing each of the pistols I carry at least 100 times a week. I've taken a few courses and read a couple books... I forget the number, but I think it's around 3000. After 3000 repetitions an action nearly grows into a reflex. Until you've repeated the same drawing motion (or draw & c0ck or draw & safe>off) 3000 times, you're subject to a fairly high level of emotion, and consequently a high level of adrenaline.

After looking at the mounting system on the website you linked to, it looks like it's a plastic mount and you have it screwed into a plastic trim piece. I'd be willing to be the mount itself is fairly stout, but it looks like where you have it mounted to isn't all that stout.

My concern is that, in a moment of need, you'll become excited (which is understandable) and draw either with too much force, or at an angle other than rearward in relation to the holster - and that could easily rip the mount out. That would leave you holding a holstered gun with a cover over the trigger.

Obviously you would rather not get into a situation where you have to draw your gun this very instant, but if that becomes your only option it's preferable to draw from a known & slightly slower location rather than a faster location that could leave you surprised.

Again, not trying to offend you - just something to think about. For storage while driving, that location looks very comfortable compared to keeping your gun on your hip.

What kind of M4's are those I just purchased one from Panther arms chambered in the new 6.8 remington spc. Do you like that ACOG scope? I was thinking about getting one.

baseballfanz · 11-09-2005, 07:30 AM

Nice idea, I would have to mount that somewhere else though. Here in Texas it would have to be conceal. Cop pull you over and see that right there he might shot first and ask questions later.

I really need to move out of Kalifornia.

I was thinking the same thing. Pretty simple paperwork: "He was reaching for his gun."

It would likely be the same here in PA. Plus in FL they just passed the new law that doesn't require you to flee. I would probably do something under the seat if I was that worried about it. Mostly the center console is fine for my needs when the hip gets uncomfortable.

baseballfanz · 11-09-2005, 09:00 AM

This would be a better option.

Same in Florida to be legal. You have to have a carry permit and have the gun concealed on your person. It can not be out in plain sight in an vehicle, even if you are physically wearing it exposed. (This does not apply to long guns in a window rack.)

If not concealed on your person, it would have to be "securely encased" (requiring physical removal before firing) or enclosed in a location not immediately accessible and requiring an opening step before firing (i.e. glove box, console).

Under seat is open to interpretation, but some officers will arrest if the gun is under the seat but not in a case or holster that covers the trigger, since nothing has to be opened to retreive from under seat.
