Wow! They are really trying to gut the bill.
Does anyone think it would be weird to carry a something like a Shield in a shoulder holster? Because if tgis does pass, and if I were of a mind to ignore company policy and carry on the road, which we all know I wouldn't cause Imma good boy, I would be using a shoulder holster. It addresses all the issues I would have with a belt holster I.E. easy access while seated, which I am most of the day, no issues with public restrooms, which are pretty much the only ones available to me, and ease and speed of removal should I find myself entering areas where carrying may not be appropriate, which I do fairly regularly.
The single stack Shield would sidestep any capacity issues.

Shoulder holster? Shield?
No you use this
Jk, why not if it works for ya and isn't stupid like a versa carry or urban carry

I tend to only carry with a shoulder holster mainly because I find IWB types uncomfortable. However, there are many disadvantages to shoulder holsters. They are more complicated to put on, draw time is much longer, you can basically only carry with it if you are wearing a jacket, and it can be difficult to find one that fits you well.
Its really the only option I see that adresses all the above issues. I would become a "vest guy" I suppose. Tgere are light versions that wouldn't be to bad in the summer. Winter I'd just roll with a lined Carhartt vest.

Ankle carry is good while sitting too. It's very easy to get to and you don't need to wear a jacket in the summer.
Don't even wanna try ankle carry, I wear shorts in the summer, big, heavy work boots in the winter. And I'd worry about the gun coming out of the holster as I climb in and out of the truck dozens of times a day.
Plus it seems very uncomfortable.
Bra bang maybe?

It's not going to fall out. Mine has a thumb break. I've run with it short distances to test it. It works better with boots too since it won't slide down to your ankle. And that's with a Glock 26.
Not since having lost 70lbs anyway.
K, maybe give it shot then. Won't work for summer though. Too hot in the south to be rockin' long pants.
Hahahhahaha someone is super super sensitive
Oh and yea hey good job with Rochester being a mini Albany, you guys sure do a great job making sure judges who don't issue unrestricted licenses or set a stupid number of how many handguns one can own...
And it's weird how you have this weird fixation of Chuck getting his dick sucked. Guess I had you all wrong, you aren't a Hillary fan but a Bill fan I'm betting, you must have enjoyed those impeachment hearings. It must have been like dear play boy but with moving pictures

My FFL is a former police officer. Every time I come to his shop, at night, he asks me why I'm not carrying. (Which is when I remind him that I've got a "target" permit and we both throw up our hands in disgust.)

Well...what if the "proper moment" never arises? In that case...concealed stays concealed.
Heck, in the event of a parking ticket while a pistol is locked in the trunk...so what? Who cares? Could the driver suddenly, unnoticed, sneak into the trunk, unlock the pistol, load it, and get in to a threatening stance? Pffft! Stupid.

Yeah, an ankle kind of defeats the purpose than in the winter when you can wear a coat.
No bueno in the summer too with shorts. Perhaps a fanny pack if that isn't too gay?

When I took a force on force class with stretz tactical we did a car scenario that taught me carrying appendix with your seatbelt on is not very efficient. Immediately after that class I went and installed this in my truck. (See picture attached, I still wanna change out the whites zip ties for black, but you can't see them from the driver's seat anyway).Now when carrying, I take my firearm out of my holster and put it under the steering wheel. I've got quick access to it while driving, and I just simply put it back in my holster when leaving the vehicle.
Gay, and in the way when seated. I'm fine with trying a shoulder holster, they should call it the Trucker's Holster.

Now adays I have the motto work smarter not harder. If you are willing to use a shoulder holster why not just set up for a cross draw on your belt? Then you'd avoid all the hassles with shoulder holsters. You'd already have the holster as well. Just take your current holster and clip it to your left side. That is unless you're one of those left handed freaks. Then you'd put it on your right side.
to much "administrative" handling for this, not knocking whoever it is you learned from (deff going to be looking into them) but i dont think i have found one instructor who recommends vehicle carry like this
if anything it didnt teach you that appendix carry was "not very efficient" but might have taught you that you need to do more training

I use a Galco JackAss shoulder holster for my flock 17, it's comfortable, goes on in no time, acessable when driving, the best set up when driving for me.
I bought it used (the guy used it one time) for only $65.
I'll be buying a few more for other guns I want to carry in this fashion.

Since I carry appendix and with a seatbelt on it was not as efficient to unholster under stress as I would like. Sure I could do a lot more practice, but I found this to be a much more efficient way for me personally.
Edit : @Edwardteach72
Also, stretz tactical did not teach me to install holster at this location, this was something I did on my own. Another option I have thought about is using an ankle holster as I could reach that a little easier and less conspicuously as well.
I do and have done a fair amount of practicing drawing from concealment and I've attendeda handful of training classes as well. I think I have a fairly good grip on how to do this efficiently. I don't want to give away any details of the scenario from the class as that is how he makes his money, but I can say when somebody has the advantage on you fractions of a second count. I can also reach the fire arm much less conspicuously under the steering wheel then if I had to draw from my holster while clearing a garment
again im not knocking you for your choice, just mentioning this seems to be in the minority of how to do things, not saying its wrong, thats how ideas get around, open minded critical thinking of what we are presented

I get it, I took no offense. Just wanted to share some of my rationale behind it. I also made an edit to the post and an ankle holster would be another good way to do this. Frankly, I should be probably carrying my glock 43 in an ankle holster and my 19 appendix anyway.
i didnt think you did, i just have to sometimes make sure people dont take me to aggressively. (see some previous posts when someone who thinks just because a pro 2a gun law or bill doesnt affect him then why should he care. next think you know he wants to watch me or someone give chuck shumer a blowjob for some reason idk)

@Podmonkey, if you ever do ankle in the summer, they do have lightweight tactical pants (the cargo pocket kind) that have vents and zippers for ventilation.
Anyone watching the shit show going on right now?
