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.
I haven’t found the perfect place to keep my pistol in my truck. Normally I carry at 4 o’clock IWB on my right side, but I have to unbuckle the seatbelt to draw. I’ve kept it in the center console and the door pocket, but it shifts around and can be difficult to locate in a hurry. I considered mounting it under the steering column, but my Ford truck has a fuse panel located there and I don’t think the cover will properly support my pistol. I don’t want the pistol and cover to fall off when I go over a bump.
A shoulder holster would work, but I don’t want to have to wear a jacket here in the Florida heat. I considered mounting a holster between the seat and the center console, but there’s not much room there and the center console is plastic. I think it would crack and break if I hung any kind of weight on it.
