Unholstered
new here guys, so be easy on me My plastic is in the mail, waiting waiting waiting.. I’ve always been around firearms my whole life and I’m an avid hunter.
I realize there will be times when I have to go into a no gun establishment. so I built a gun vault under the seat of my Jeep.. I can lock the gun up.
my Question is would you or would you not wear your holster concealed? Seems removing from my belt could draw attention to my vehicle.

Re: Unholstered
If I visit a location that is off limits, i.e. daughter's school, I lock my firearm in the lock box under my seat, and keep the holster on me.
Of course, I make every attempt to stay away from off limits locations.

Re: Unholstered
Depends on the type of holster I am wearing. Some, like a paddle or pocket holster are easy.

Re: Unholstered
I like holsters that can be removed without taking off my belt. I don't like putting my gun in a bug save or console without the gun protected by a holster if I can avoid it. I guess in back of my mind I've decided that if someone was to see me handling a holstered weapon it may not be a threatening as drawing a pistol from my waistband. Probably not true since someone will freak if they simply decide too, but it makes me feel better.
But, for quick runs into my son's school I discretely unholster and lock up as others have said.

Re: Unholstered
I don't like having the trigger exposed. Gun stays holstered, always.

Re: Unholstered
I solved this by having a second pocket style holster in the car at all times. I leave carry holster on as I don't want to mess with my belt. Just pull weapon and put in second holster, then lock up. Simple.

Re: Unholstered
Depends on the holster and how easy to take off. If I have to undo the belt and all that then just take the pistol and place into lock box and wear empty holster inside. I do suggest parking out on the edge of the parking lot away from other cars so someone don't walk up on you un-holstering. Might freak some people out.
Re: Unholstered
I would wear the holster if it's the kind you can't easily remove. I use a Remora no-clip and just take gun and holster out together. I agree with the others who say to keep the trigger protected.

Re: Unholstered
I am OWB so unholster @ the Post Office & go in empty. I do not remove extra mags & have my knife.
Carry 24-7 or guess right.

+1 I do the same thing so I can easily remove my firearm from my person to my vehicle and it still be holstered. No one's the wiser and my pistol remains safely stowed.
