Works out for everyone because when he asks you to step out of the car the "shoulder belt holster" stays with the car

Wouldn't change the classification of the holster. A belt holster that's inside the car would still be a belt holster.

I'm contemplating doing this to my Grassburr mountable holster. It's not a belt or shoulder holster in any sense of the word, but it is a holster securely mounted to the car. And it covers the trigger just as well as any other holster. If I sew on some belt loops, it will become a belt holster.

Only thing is, I'd hate to damage an otherwise superb holster due to some finicky verbiage in the law. I really hope they get rid of the "belt or shoulder" requirement part of the holster.

I haven't mounted it yet, but I picked up a Grassburr holster and concealment cover. I'd like to be able to use it without the concealment cover for ease of access.

No, it specifically has to be in a belt or shoulder holster. Not any holster will do.

Hopefully they get rid of the "belt or shoulder" requirement for the holster. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Maybe I can sew some belt loops onto the Grassburr holster and call it a day.

So take a standard belt holster and mount it.

This mounds a standard snap slide holster to your steering column...

I don't want a steering column holster though. It would be much more convenient for it to be mounted beside my leg. Without removing the "belt or shoulder" requirements for the holster, I wouldn't be able to use a very nice, active retention (thumb snap) holster that is very securely mounted unless the firearm remains concealed. Concealment would create a burden when drawing from such holster.

I guess my point is that there are practical applications that should be lawful that don't fall into the subset of holsters that are "belt or shoulder" holsters.

This is one thing I would like as well.
