Sad day when it comes to this.
This is why we law abiding citizens need to get out to vote.

I carry mine in a holster between the console and the driver's seat. Very accesable and stays put.

He got out and gave up his truck but the scum shot him in the face for the hell of it. Though he was shot, he still managed to draw his own handgun and killed the robber. Thank God he was carrying his own handgun and killed the guy. Otherwise, he would have taken the truck and killed God only knows how many more people.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">Hey guys all the more reason why you should carry on you!! Lets be realistic you get shot when you get too brave. First off, when someone gets the drop on you, as Tony Soprano would say, FUGGETTABOUTIT. No way your gonna draw on a guy with a gun. I dont care if you have it mounted right on the dash. No way, Try it with a friend and I guarantee you he says bang b4 you even reach for it. Next up I know you guys cant be leaving it in the car under the seat? Thats got to be the most stupidest thing I ever heard!! Ok your in the Supermarket and someone breaks into your car now hes got a gun!! That will get a cop a big time suspension or even loss of job! Respect your gun and never let it be anywhere you aint!! Dixie I know your a cop and Im sure you have great judgement but for all you guys out there a gun is a great responsibility. You just cant shoot people cuz they challenge you. Some people get real big with a gun and thats what gets you tried by 12 and usually puts you in financial ruin!!!!! Remember this, if you can get away do it, using the gun should be a last resort otherwise you may find yourself defending a million dollar law suit and maybe get jail time. Just remember that its all how you articulate the scenario. See a weapon, draw a weapon and you should be ok, but never elevate more force than your oponent otherwise they will say you were the aggressor.
Good luck guys and be safe!!!
