Sometimes it is an advantage to be a lefty. Mine is on my left hip. Some of my right handed friends use cross draw to solve the car problem.

Mine is next to me, between the center console and the passenger seat. Its a Rossi m68 revolver. Can't carry at work, so it stays in the truck.
But if I'm carrying, my gun is on my right hip. Easy to access if need be, God forbid.

Comfortably on my hip.

I keep mine on me most of the time. Sometimes in the glove box.
-Kel-Tec P3AT .380 w/ Crimson Trace Laserguard and Clip Extension (summer carry)
-Kahr PM9 9mm w/ Crimson Trace Laserguard and Clip Extension (new summer carry)
-Glock 27 .40 w/ Crimson Trace Laserguard and Clip Extension (winter carry)
-Taurus PT945 .45 (more or less retired from carry)
Where it always is on my right hip in it's holster.
You may not like guns. You may choose not to own one. That is your right.
You might not believe in God. That is your choice.
However, if someone breaks into your home at 3AM the first two things you are going to do are:
1) Call someone with a gun.
2)Pray they get there in time." - A wise man
I am totally against off body carry this is a BACK UP. I am right handed as most of the world is and to make it worse I carry at 4 oclock with a in the pants so drawing from the car is much slower than my secondary Glock 26
Mine is on the hip.
Matter of fact, the style of carry that you posted in the pic would not be legal in SC. It has to be on you or in the glove compartment here.

Mine tend to be in my right front pocket all the time.
Been thinking of putting a second one in car console mounted in holster.
NOT LIVING IN FEAR, JUST READY!!!
I carry on my right hip virtually all the time. (Yes, I am a lefty, but I am complicated; let's just say I am functionally ambidextrous with pistols.) There may well be a second gun in a Safepacker, which I prefer to attach to myself via a shoulder strap. I have a computer bag which I use to carry other items, which may include yet more handguns, but that is more for transportation and/or security purposes than carry, per se.
I have considered mounting a holster to the rigid door pocket of one of my vehicles. Yes, it does help to be a lefty, sometimes.![]()
Always at 3:30 on my hip IWB.

at home in the safe... I can't wait till I'm 21 and can carry full time. plus since all I own is an 870, might be a touch hard to carry full time.

I have a safe in the center console of the vehicle (SUV). I cannot carry at work, so its there for the "road". When I enter the car to go to work, I remove it from the safe and have it in the console on top of the safe, and readily accessible. When arriving, I put it back in the safe and lock it. Same for going home. Note: under Fl law, you don't need a CWP to do it this way, just keep the console door closed.
When riding with my CC gun on me, IWB at 3:30, the other one is in the safe, locked up.
I will not mount a holster in plain view. Not legal in Fl, and an empty holster says theres something worth stealing somewhere in the car.
Best case: the gun is not in the car and you lost a side window for the BG to find that out. Worst case: he now has your gun.
