I'm going to be as polite as I know how. There are a plethora of situations one might need a firearm that aren't quick draw scenarios, and if someone isn't comfortable carrying on a live round then I don't want them to. Is it ideal? No. Is it better than having nothing? Absolutely. For example my wife wont carry on a live round but has had multiple times she's felt uncomfortable in her car (she's a traveling home hospice nurse) and will retrieve her firearm from the console, load a round, then either wait out the situation, or put it in her purse which has a holster pocket it sits in that you slide a hand into and exit the vehicle to go where she needs to. Id much rather her have that option than not carry at all because she is uncomfortable carrying hammer down on a live round. As for courses I couldn't disagree more. Half the ones I have seen the instructor is a fool. Voda Tactical comes to mind. Find someone you trust with military service or police background and tag along to the range. I would wager 90% of the country doesn't have a decent training class in their area.The cringe level of this thread is so high. From people having exposed guns to people having them pointed at their passengers. 99% have never even trained with a draw from where they are and if they have it’s been 3 times with no pressure. If you’re getting car jacked you don’t have the muscle memory to open your console and grab you gun our remove the velcro and draw faster than the guy yelling at you to get out of your car. If someone is running at you I can assure they have a faster draw on you from the start even more so when you have to make sure nothing is on your center console and grabbing your gun and then loading a round!! If any of you daily carry and do not have a round chambered you need to go learn some cqc. And realize you’re dead if you don’t have one in the chamber. Your first instinct is not to pull the slide back. It’s to pull a trigger. So where is the best place for your weapon when in the vehicle. It’s on your body. why? If you take self defense seriously and train to better protect your self and other (which I would not want 85% of gun owners trying to protect me. You’re more likely to get injured from them than you are the other party.) 2 like I stated at the top if you get car jacked they 9/10 times have a gun trained on you so good luck opening up your console or through all the panic reaching down grabbing your gun, turning, shooting before they do. And if you do get car jacked and your side arm is on your body guess what. Give the car to them. Then pull a switchero on them and pull it as they enter your car. Finally, if you’re in an accident that velcro might not hold. Those magnets might not hold. Your gun you fly around hit something or somebody it could hit something hard enough or weird enough and go off. To conclude. I know all of the people on this thread and those who daily carry a fire arm think they are capable of protecting everything even in the highest stress environments. Please do us all a favor take at least one course. Go shoot your gun once a month or at least get snap caps to practice drawing. Thank you for attending my vehicle gun safety Ted talk. If you have any questions please dm me I’d be happy to help
