This video demonstrates and times various concealed carry methods inside a vehicle, comparing draw times from appendix carry (2.32s), magnet mount (2.17s), center console (3.08s), glove box (3.29s), off-body bag (3.45s), and secure safes (5.29s). It highlights that faster methods like magnet mounts are often exposed and potentially illegal, while secure storage significantly increases access time. Trunk storage is deemed impractical for immediate self-defense scenarios.

Quick Summary

The fastest vehicle concealed carry method tested was a magnet mount on the center console at 2.17 seconds. However, this leaves the firearm exposed. Secure storage like a Vaultek safe took over 5 seconds, and trunk storage exceeded 11 seconds, making them impractical for immediate self-defense.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the fastest way to access a firearm inside a vehicle?

The fastest method tested was a magnet or holster mount on the side of the center console, achieving a draw time of 2.17 seconds. However, this method leaves the firearm fully exposed and may not be legal in all jurisdictions.

Is carrying a firearm in the glove compartment a good self-defense option?

Carrying in the glove compartment resulted in a slow draw time of 3.29 seconds. It requires a difficult reach and can be unreliable under stress, with the firearm potentially shifting position.

How long does it take to access a firearm from a secure safe in a vehicle?

Accessing a firearm from a Vaultek portable safe took 5.29 seconds. While secure, this significant time delay makes it less suitable for immediate self-defense situations where seconds count.

Is storing a firearm in the trunk a viable self-defense strategy?

No, trunk storage is highly impractical for self-defense. Unloaded storage took over 11 seconds, and a double-locked trunk exceeded 23 seconds, rendering the firearm useless in an ambush scenario.
