Car gun? Hell, all my guns are canoe guns (lost) in a horrible incident.
I put a sign on my truck designating it a “Safe Space” and Gun Free Zone. It works really well, as I haven’t been carjacked but it doesn’t stop the rednecks from pointing and laughing.
1911 cocked and locked in cross draw holster on left side. That way the seat belt doesn’t get in the way.
I live in the People’s Republic of Maryland, where they will prosecute you for handgun possession, even if you own it legally, if you are not on the most direct route between home and range or home and gunsmith. My firearms were always at home, until I took them boating . . .
In the car? I always have a legal tool, a pocketknife, in a useful position. By definition, a pocketknife of any size cannot be considered a weapon. It does not have to be in your pocket or even closed to be a tool and not a weapon, so that’s what I carry. I also don’t go to Maryland’s many areas that are extra dangerous because criminals know that they are the only ones with firearms.

Shift into reverse, turn hard right, FLOOR IT.
As a matter of demonstration we were also able to offensively engage multiple standard IDPA style targets from a car on the move as if engaged in a "Drive By" scenario. We learned something critical from that: The target of a drive by is almost always safer than the folks around him! We were also able to shoot into a variety of vehicles to see how well standard defensive rounds penetrated various parts of the vehicle. The most interesting was the tires. Unlike Hollywood, they don't explode, no matter the caliber. We shot a .338 Lapua Magnum through a tire and while it went through the rubber and the RIM 100% it still took time for the air to quietly empty from the tire. Also learned how to "bounce" rounds under the vehicle. The best part was learning to access and engage from a hip holster. Even if properly using the seat belt system.
Having said that, I usually carry my Sig MK25 or P227 (same holster) in a CROSSBREED Super Tuck Deluxe IWB. Same for my Sig RCS 1911. If the situation is low stress (meaning that I'm planning on staying pretty close to home for dinner or something), I may just put a Ruger LC9s into my right front pocket with the spare mag in the opposite pocket. My Sigs all sport higher capacity magazines from Mec-Gar who also happens to be the actual manufacturer of Sig and other brands magazines. So 18+1 in my carry piece and perhaps another 18 or even a 20rd mag as spare. If you need it you might need it a lot. Especially on the road in a rural area. The P227 is a 10rd 45 with spares in 14 rd capacities. But I usually keep that at home as my dedicated Home Defense weapon with a Streamlight 500 lumen gun-light with strobe capability attached.
I practice all of this stuff constantly. Learning it does no good without practice.
