I don't know how else to word this...
i can’t make this any more clear, the OP wasn’t looking for storage of the weapon when he isn’t in the car. You’re too caught up in your keeping the gun from being stolen argument that you miss the whole point of the thread. The title is gun mounts not gun storage geeze.
No, its also someone else's problem because it puts innocent people at risk. You seem to understand this, and agree, and yet remain argumentative. I also understand that there is a small tactical disadvantage to drawing from an IWB, in that you may have to release your seatbelt first, but that i find the statistical probability of such a scenario for my particular lifestyle to be less than the statistical probability that I might go out grocery shopping and forget the gun in the mount and that I increase my lifetime odds of having a negligent discharge the more frequently a loaded firearm is handled outside its holster, not to mention inconvenient.
That quote wasn’t from me but I do take it personally when people decide to carry weapons who have no clue, you statistically are putting people at risk by your lack of knowledge of the subject and lack of training and education as it relates to ccw. You are far to caught up in statistics, go read and seriously sign up for a tactical class, chances are you will have a blast and actually learn something too. I’m not trying to insult you, I’m trying to tell you to put away the math and go take a class. My first tactical class was shooting a target through a windshield of a car, something that would never be needed in a real world scenario that I can think of but damn it was fun. The point of this exercise was to show how easy a round can go through a car, we shot through the door as well. Many people think they can hide behind a vehicle thanks to hollywood but the fact is the engine block is about the only thing that will stop a, in this case, 9mm round. Also training yourself to look beyond your target, asses a situation and make the decision to fire all in a split second, none of which involve statistics while you’re making that decision, there is a great you tube video online that shows a woman being attacked and she shouts the assailant but didn’t notice the woman pushing a stroller on the opposite sidewalk., what if she missed the guy and hit the stroller? Many things that you need to train for that don’t involve math or even the fact you have been shooting at targets your whole life.
I dunno, listening to you and Cincy, it kinda sounded like you were jacking it.
It really is but common sense is a flower that doesn’t grow in everybody’s garden.

I didn’t intend to, though I did keep referring back to the fact that he was asking about mounts not storage. Sorry to the OP if I hijacked. Was trying to get through to the ill informed nothing more!
Man, even my jokes are misunderstood...
That’s something that you probably won’t ever hear about but as I’ve said, they make quick-access vehicle holster for a reason.
I agree but I still think relying on an IWB-carried gun for vehicle protection is a bad idea unless you’re in and out if the vehicle all day. That’s why I said my little carry pistol stays in my pocket and my big full-size one is only a password away while in that situation; the vehicle holster only really gets used while on longer trips.
If the fire is small enough to have time to get your extinguisher, it’s prob not gonna kill you. If someone tries to pull you out of your car you’re going to be hurt or killed. Huge difference.
