I am considering driving for Uber and would like any recommendations for a good carry option that will make a gun accessible while driving.

I will be carrying my G19 in my hip holster like always, but that’s not very accessible while sitting, and it’s on my right side which would be exposed to a passenger in the backseat. I’m thinking I’d also like to carry my Kimber K6s in a method that’s concealed, but easily accessible to me while I’m driving. Some sort of holster mounted to the left side of my drivers seat seems ideal, but I will have to get in and out of the car regularly to help with bags and such so any holster mounted to that side would have to be able to be concealed when the door is open.

I don’t know much about car carry options so any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Dedicated crossdraw holster or perhaps shoulder holster?

I'd second the crossdraw or shoulder rigs (keeping it on your person when you're out of the car is good), although either would require always wearing a shirt or jacket to cover them. Unless you're ambidextrous enough to be able to draw and fire with your left hand, you might find that drawing and bringing the gun to bear on your passenger with your right hand to be problematic.

Also, does Uber have a prohibition against drivers carrying firearms, like pizza delivery drivers and the like are usually subject to? Violating that wouldn't carry legal penalties I don't think (IANAL) beyond getting you fired, but I wouldn't be surprised if some local jurisdictions do have laws prohibiting it, and violating that might get you in trouble.

The large, velcro-closed "document pocket" behind the regular shirt pockets of 511 button up shirts is big enough to hold medium-sized pistols in a pocket holster.

I often carry a second pistol that way just for seated access when driving.

I put an iron-on patch inside the pocket to cut down on muzzle wear after wearing a hole in a few shirts.

Shoulder holster or a dedicated crossdraw that are not hindered by the vehicle seat belt....Possibly a vest with a inside ccw pocket..... Keep the firearm on your body at all times ensures no one can access weapon with out your knowledge........ Check Uber"s policy on their firearm policy ... Do not want to be on the wrong side legally if something was to happen even if weapon is not fired................. drill sgt.

Might be something workable Here

I'd get me an Andrews Leather Carjacker Crossdraw holster.

I’d much rather it be on my person, you mention getting out to work the trunk, whatever. Then you have FL temps.

A discreet shoulder, ‘kangaroo’ or similar setup with a smaller gun would be my choice. You would want to remain ‘the gray man’, unnoticed by riders.

Thanks for the recommendations. I think I’ll look into a shoulder holster setup. I always wear a button up work shirt over a T-shirt anyway.

I’m not sure if Uber has any restrictions against carrying while driving as I haven’t started the process of signing up so I haven’t seen any of their official documentation, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they do. I think I’ll ignore them though if they have any.

I did a google image search for car holsters. You have some decent options. Do a search and see what you think works best for you. Although half of the option would require some permeant modifications.

What type vehicle? Is center console an option?
