Great idea...But I wouldnt think that would be concealed.

Most of the time when traveling, I simply lay my XD in the seat with a towel over it!

[Sippy]

That is illegal

[Cam-Mac]

Nope not concealed.

Does a handgun have to be concealed when transporting?

Yes sir...Wether you have a CHL or not.

Not illegal if it is in your vehicle. Same as being in your house, its on or in your property. Not illegal until you are in Public. This is my understanding. Either way, who cares cause we all need to defend ourselves.

Wrong, it still has to be concealed if it is a handgun.

My understanding from an officer is, concealed in your vehicle is out of sight while looking into the vehicle through the windows. Center console works great for me.

What purpose was your Vehicle Mount created for?
Our vehicle mount was invented to provide concealed carry users a convenient, temporary place to store their firearm while driving. With a holster attached to our mount, the entire setup serves as a dedicated vehicle holster at all times. While many prefer to keep their weapon on their person while driving, this is also ideal, but many do not have that option based on their vehicle interior or it is very uncomfortable for long periods of time. Our mount is NOT intended as a place to permanently store your firearm and leave it unattended or left behind. It is a temporary storage place while driving and you then take it with you when exiting. Not only does is make driving more comfortable, but it also gives you immediate ready access to your weapon for self-defense. There is no product on the market today that is more readily accessible in the vehicle or provides natural movement, free of obstructions than where your weapon is on our mount.

Is your Vehicle Mount considered Open or Concealed?
This depends on many factors of the vehicle being used, but usually it is considered Open as it is within plain sight when you know to look for it. It is harder to notice when it is situated between your legs while driving with the steering column over the top of the setup. It is much easier to notice when you are not in the driver's seat or are entering/exiting the vehicle. It also depends on the height of the vehicle, contour of the dash, color of interior and if you have tinted windows. We advise you have your firearm license when using our product no matter what state you live in.
