I made this console tray, rather primitive but works for me. Glasses go right in front of the shifter on their cloth holder. Cd's is a case on the back seat with a towel over them along with the phone charger. There is a lame change holder in the front of the console but it pretty much rubs imo.
owners manual is in the garage where it stays clean. Trunk is empty.

I keep a Springfield Armory XD-9 Full Size (4" barrel) between the driver's seat and the console in a custom holster 2- spare 16 rnd mags in a carrier on the visor two more in the center console. Surefire light and phone charger in the console as well I have cd thing on the visor covering the mag carrier, sunglasses on passenger visor, M-4/AR -15 with 6 spare 30 round mags secured in the trunk plus my other more mundane emergency tools (ratchet set, flares, lights, rope, tape and shovel). sirius pnp radio is on the dash over the steering wheel, XM pnp is mounted on the overhead light console.

I do the exact same But I also find that the Sat Radio comes in so clear andlouder that I lean on it more often .

If my cup holders are both used, I put my cell phone in between the TAC and Speedo. The Blackjack fits in there perfect, and if it's face up, at night I can see the light of an incoming call even if my radio is turned way up!

Mainly because I can. I would hate to be in a place where only the cops had guns (USSR PRC **** Germany, you get the idea.) I don't even have to ask for permission for the rifle in the trunk. Here in free America we can defend ourselves from thugs and criminals. A armed man is a Citizen, a unarmed man is a Subject.

Unfortunately we can't defend ourselves against armed criminals in the two cities I've lived near, Chicago and Washington DC. Gun laws just remove guns from law abiding citizens and allow criminals to use whatever guns they want. </rant>

As much as I am all for you being able to carry what you want. I would think the police would have a little difference of opinion on the arsenal you seem to be carrying. Unfortunately I live in a Communist State and there is no chance in hell of me being able to carry a gun legally. Especially a Semi Auto rifle with 6-30 Round mags.

I'd like to see photos of your side arm rig if it's ok. I've been trying different things for my G19.

I started out wedging it between the seat and console, now I am using a cheapo holster that I got with the gun bolted to the console. i covered the side of the holster with 2 layers of moleskin to protect the leather seats. my only problem is that the Ebrake handle is on the wrong side of the console. The AR is on a modified gunrack in the trunk with the mags in a MOLLE pouch that I put a shoulder strap on. My theory on self-defense is to Escape or Evade, if possible, second is a pistol, third is a carbine. Hopefully I can find some pd using the s-197 as a patrol/pursuit car and find out how they secure the carbine. Oh and I keep a spare roll of tinfoil in the trunk in case I lose my hat.

Edit: i will try to post some pics next week, and the cop that pulled me over was impressed with my set up. I have A concealed handgun license, and that goes a long ways toward putting cops at ease

Did not feel it. Thanks for asking, and I will take our earthquakes any day over those Tornado's and Hurricanes. You guys get those things yearly we get earthquakes daily yet most go unfelt and the big ones only come around every 10 years or so. And at least when my house falls down it is in the same place not in the next town over.

I love it! I got a buddy, we were seaching for him a "new" car to drive back and forth to VA on for college, he got in this one car, and took off his gun, and the first thing he looked for was where he could put his gun, clips, etc. I'm so glad I dont live in CA, when I graduate college, I'll definately carry a weapon on me.
