I usually carry my BUG in an ankle holster, which becomes my primary while driving.

I change nothing...wear in/out of vehicle the same.

I carry on my person when driving to FL and back because at least one state if you leave weapon in car with non licensed occupant they can be charged with illegal possesion

I carry a 1911 in a VersaMax-II. I have driven over 600 miles at a time while wearing it and never felt the need to remove the weapon!

In my vehicle, I have a holster affixed between the console and front passenger seat.

In someone else's vehicle, I wear a shoulder holster.

My normal carry of either around the waist, pocket, or SmartCarry is difficult to reach while strapped in the seatbelt. If I want quick access (and I do), I go with one of the two options above.

That was my main concern. I usually have it by the driver seat somewhere. As long as it is out of plain sight, it is legal (i.e. covered with a shirt or piece of paper).

I like the ankle holster and the shoulder holster ideas...

Usually just leave it in my IWB holster, but on occasion I will put it in the center console.

A holster of some type is critical, and even better if the holster is strongly affixed. If a gun is not securely stored, it will go flying in the event of an accident or extremely rough terrain.

Quick access will be critical if one is ambushed, such as pulling into or out of a garage. I would have extreme difficulty drawing quickly from some on-body locations while strapped in.

I hope you can find a way that works for you.
