and yeah that would be legal here in ohio, you just have to have the conceal carry license, which is easy to get. lol
The price is ~$60 for the holster and the multi mounts. In texas you are not required to have a concealed license to have a weapon in your truck, or while you are walking from your residence to your vehicle.

Is it bad that today (my second day with my new truck), I was already looking for places to carry a handgun?
You have to be 21 here to buy a handgun from a licensed dealer. At 18 you can buy from a private sale, or recieve it as a gift. My dad got me my xdM .40, and I bought the ruger p95 I plan to carry in my truck from a friend. The only problem is buying ammo for it, I have to tell them its for a rifle that uses 9mm and hope they still let me. When I turn 21 I will get my CCL though.

And its not bad at all!

How do you like that p95? i carry an Ruger lcp .380 b/c of its size but it kicks way too much!. thinking of selling it. My xd40 is just to big for under a tee-shirt in the summer + it digs into my fat roll with my IWB holster.

I wouldnt reccomend the p95 for concealed carry, its fairly large. Have you looked at the xd40 sub compact? I love my xdM .40 though. Its an amazing gun.

No i haven't, but it would be a hell of a lot easier buying only one size of ammo! I do like the LCP, sometimes forget i'm wearing it. but .380 ammo is hard to find here and there's that kick issue - theres just no weight to that gun!

I have the xD .40 Subcompact... It STILL is a beast under the shirt in the Summer, but I wouldnt trade it out for anything. I am actually lookin to get a 3" xD 9mm for my CHL (the 40 is always in the truck, out of sight to others, but still within in range of me)

Nice set up.

I did something similar to my Tahoe with the exception of using A Velcro backed mount from Blackhawk then using Industrial Str Velcro (For Plastics($2 at Home Depot)) to mount it to the center console of my Tahoe.

Will be doing the same to my F150 as the holset is only $6. Total Cost a little of $8

Here's a pic... without the pistol. It's held up for 3 years, at this point, with no slippage, droop, weakening of the velcro or support for the pistol.

I must be in the minority here I sold mine because I just could not get used to all that pull on the trigger before it breaks.....guess I've been shooting 1911's to long where the pull is short and crisp..

Nice panzer! , unfortunately here in Ohio it must be concealled either in a holster on your person or in an enclosure that has a latch or clasp.(glovebox,console,purse...etc) so just stuffed between the seats or in plain view like yours is a no-no for us!

Yup. That was going to be my original plan to mount it down by the shifter, but thats not at all concealed. Lol.
