Is it lawful to have your gun under your steering wheel in a holster? Feedback?

[ChevyNova1970]

Hey everyone,

Is it legal to carry your firearm in a holster under your steering wheel? It's quite uncomfortable and hard to draw when left in your holster while driving. I purchased a fast holster (magnetic rubber coated strip) at my local gun show recently and am thinking about installing it under my steering wheel. However, I need clarification if this is lawful to do? Good idea? Any feed back is greatly appreciated! Thank you guys!

As long as you have a valid LTCH, there are no restrictions on HOW you can carry, just where.

Has long as you have the above stated LTCH you could tape it to your fore head and carry it that way if you wanted. Having the LTCH is the key.

 

[ChevyNova1970]

Yes I have my LTCH. Thank you for the feedback!

Even legal to carry it taped to your forehead...but I would use black, green or fde tape...more tactical.

If you have your LTCH, you're good to go.

Let's discuss this further - for edification of all.

Are you only going to have it secured by the magnet? What will happen to said firearm if you're in an accident involving any force? Will the firearm stay where it is? What if you roll over in an accident - is the gun going to fall off? Realize that this could lead to an unsecured / loaded weapon with an uncovered trigger guard...

Are you going to move the gun from your holster on your person into position under the wheel - and back again? Potentially several times a day?

That'll be guaranteed to freak out the trooper who stops you for speeding. I'd be inclined to keep my hands high and mention this one up front.

OC is stupid.

It's about time someone brought this up.

Pulled over,

I would simply keep my hands on the steering wheel and let the officer know there is a firearm under my steering wheel and I would acknowledge this once he walks up to my window. Theres no reason to freak out, police are trained and deal with lawful citizens who carry their firearms CC or OC. I'm pursuing my career right now for law enforcement and I'm not going to make a sudden moments or act nervous. It's just a traffic stop.
