Guys,
I have a '14 Turbo S, but I thought the 991 forum might be a better place to post this. I have had a conceal carry permit for about 15 years, but since getting the 911 I have had the hardest time finding a decent place for my handgun in the car. Glove box is hard to access quickly, and I have never liked just putting it on the front passenger seat and having it fly all over the place if I have to stop fast in an emergency. I have been putting it in the little pocket in the driver door, but as I am a righty it was hard to access quickly.

I did the following in a 2003 Viper I had, and decided to recreate it in the Turbo. I thought I would share for all my fellow gun toting 911 Owners. We've had a couple fatal car jackings in my area lately, and also in other areas of the country. I figure if they'll kill a guy or his $80K Land Rover, they'd kill a guy for his $100K+ Porsche.

You need a compatible Holster and seat belt buckle for this DIY. They sell Porsche compatible seat belt buckles on ebay to defeat the seat belt alarms for those that don't like to wear them. You'll see dozens listed if you do a search under "seat belt buckle porsche 911." Most ship from China, but here is one that ships from the US and fits the 991 Porsche 911/Turbo cars. I bought this. Has two clips. Took just a few days to get it.

I used an Uncle Mike's belt type soft holster for my gun. My piece is nothing big, just a 5 shot S&W J Frame .38 revolver with a Crimson Trace laser sight. This basic design can be adapted to different brands of holsters. The total cost of doing this DIY was about $30 (holster and seat belt clips). What I like about the Uncle Mike's brand is that it has a thumb break, and it also fits my other gun, a Glock 26, so I can use the same holster for either weapon.

The design could also be used for many other brands of cars, as long as you have a compatible seat belt clip, etc.

The following pictures are pretty self explanatory, but feel free to ask any questions. The clip attaches to the holster with nylon zip ties, and the completed assembly attaches to the passenger side seat belt receiver. This provides an easily accessible, open carry point that is secure in everyday driving and stopping situations, but also allows you to easily remove it. I feel a lot better having it at a secure, easily accessible mounting point in the car as well, instead of just laying loose on the seat.

Obviously, you do this DIY at your own risk, and you would not use this if you had a passenger in the car. I don't drive without my seat belt on.

 

Nice

 

Very cool

 

What happens when you get pulled over by the cops and they see the exposed gun? I imagine they instantly draw their pistol and ask you to exit the car before they allow you to show them the concealed carry permit.

 

In NY or NJ, if a cop saw a handgun carried like that, he would certainly not be polite. In our neck of the woods, the ammo better not be in the gun or anywhere near the gun and the weapon is supposed to be carried in a locked box in the car. Not gonna help much in a car jacking.

 

Id be dead in California- shoot first ask questions later.

 

shocking pictures for the European readers !

 

Personally, I have been pulled over a couple times with my gun on the seat. I have always kept both hands visible, and I politely tell the officer I have a conceal carry permit and that there is a firearm in the car.

In Georgia, you are allowed to have a loaded gun in your vehicle even without a conceal carry permit, provided there is nothing legally preventing you from owning a handgun, like being a convicted Felon, etc.

This application keeps the gun in plain sight. No violation of any Georgia state firearms laws here.

 

You guys have some pretty restrictive gun laws up there, I know. If you couldn't legally do it in NY or NJ, then don't.

 

"Yippee Ki Yay", to quote John McClane, hehehe!

 

And Canadians too!

 

I pack my equalizer only when im going out of town or to some of the less affluent areas of northern California...keep it in the door compartment

 

I have the identical gun down to the color also with the Crimson Trace laser! Florida laws are very similar to the Georgia laws. A lot of people from other strict gun law sates are likely shocked to see this. Personally, even though it is ok there. I would want it a little more hidden from others.

 

Not recommended (referring to the pictured holster). Trigger area a little too exposed and pliable. Carry it on your body and opt for kydex. On your body, you always have 100 percent positive control, fast draw in every situation, and you will never accidentally leave it behind as in walking into the mall, getting jacked, or being pulled out of the vehicle with the jaws of life. Just my two cents.

 

Someone also mentioned Florida. If I remember correctly that rig setup would be illegal in Florida with or without a conceal carry license, not to mention that it would likely give the heebeejeebees to any law enforcement officer conducting a traffic stop on that vehicle. Hope this info helps.
