I carry, but guys this should be n " off topic" ! Mods ? Already thread or sticky started over there .

Im thinking about getting a Glock 19 and doing this:

Universal Vehicle Handgun Holster Mount - Steering Wheel Column Application

1st Rule of thumb:

1. Do you own research on CCW as it relates to a Motor Vehicle

2. CCW, don't let everyone know. That's why its called a CCW..You no longer have a CCW as you just advertised this fact to everyone on this forum

Well, if you guys ever see my truck, with the NJ plates (or any truck with NJ plates because we live in a communist police state), you know Im NOT carrying. feel free to car jack!!!

This. I don't know how NJ gets away with it.

Don't be a jackwagon. #1 I was asking for a 4Runner specific answer. And #2 all the criminals where I live just go around on T4R and cruise around looking for my 4Runner now so they'll avoid me?... What a maroon.

We should change the topic to "Where do you mount your weapon in your 4Runner?"

Right now, I just keep my G23 in the center console while driving. Thinking of mounting a cheap kydex or making one for the console. Also been thinking about buying a cheap wheel gun for inside the useless compartment under the AC controls.

SC just changed our law to where you can put a pistol just about anywhere inside your vehicle.

A small 380 auto or maybe a tiny 9mm would probably be better suited in that space unless the revolver was a 22 or something.

Personally I like my Glock 30 😁 but 10 + 1 45acp is a little on the chunky side.

S&W Shield 9mm, hands down.

40cal springfield sub compact always on me and the ar-15 is in a locked rack in back mounted to the passenger side where they have those 2 non useful storage compartments which is guarded by a little mean when told 70lbs GS

You know, these threads are always interesting.

I am all for owning and carrying weapons.

I live in a country were carry is both a gift and a curse. Threats are everywhere and since they're the ones looking for you and not the other way around, they have the element of surprise. This means that when you have to pull the gun, the bad guys already have their itchy finger on the trigger. Very sketchy stuff. So the question arises: pull out and shoot immediately, of leave the gun well hidden and pray.

For those who say come out with guns blazing, think about the serious consequences this might bring, and how quickly it can go south if the slightest hesitation or mistake occurs.

In these threads I wonder, why would you carry a weapon which will not be in the easiest place you can reach it? Sure you can store it in a safe or in the glovebox or wherever you can hide it when you leave the vehicle. But if you're concerned about carrying it for defensive purposes, you need to have the gun on you. At the very least leave it a top the shifter console for example, where you don't need to open anything or reach around any objects to get to it.

Also, i'm not troubled by discussing this on the web, but you shouldn't be giving away ideas or clues as to where you live and where you are concealing your weapon, don't you think??

Just a little food for thought,

Luis

Im pretty sure its safe to say the chances of someone seeing a thread on concealed weapons and actually being able to find a person and rob them is slim to none. Thieves look for easy scores rather than working for it by scouring the truck forums and actually doing research to find that certain person. Honest folks aren't going to steal from another therefore there is nothing to worry about

Hell if someone did that much research to rob me let alone find me then you earned the gun take it as a reward. good luck there's 2.7 million people in chicago alone im one of those 2.7 somewhere in the 11,000 square miles of land
