New female member Sahara

[jonnyt16]

Hello all! Wasn't sure if I should have posted in here or in the New Members area but here goes. My name is Sahara and I just recently decided to carry concealed! I'm actually a 2007 Jeep Wrangler and I belong to my pilot, the very handsome jonnyt16.

Jonnyt16 has his CCW license but he sometimes finds it uncomfortable to wear his CZ 75 on his body while driving me, especially long distances. So, I took it upon myself to help him out.

All I did was buy a left-handed Fobus paddle holster, cut some of the excess paddle off and heated the remaining paddle with his fiance's hairdryer so I could mold it flat and get rid of the curve in order for it to fit flush against my center console. Then I drilled a small hole in the paddle and used my existing torx bolt that holds the side panel on to my console to attach the holster to it. Simple as that!

Finally, jonnyt16 has somewhere secure to put his favorite pistol while taking me out for a spin instead of placing it on the seat or the floor where it can slide around and get dirty. And the best part is, it is totally accessible and quick to draw should he ever need it. Jonnyt16 was so thrilled when I showed him that he promised to take me out this weekend to play in the mud!!


I included some photos of me carrying so ya'll can see. Here I am from the front...CZ 75 totally concealed.

Now a look from my passenger side. You can see the other black torx bolt on this side of the console that I used for the holster. Hey, maybe I'll mount a universal holster on this side for some of jonnyt16's ccw carrying friends!

Looks good. Hey.. how do you like your ride? I'm considering a Jeep for my next vehicle but I'm still not sure yet. Is the Sahara a lot better for long rides than the Wrangler?

[Maddog5150]

LOL. I thought this was going to be another sad calgun stalker thread.

[cudakidd]

Hi Sahara...now about those stock wheels, tires and bumpers...surely Jonny would want you looking good?

Are the interiors on American cars still that bad?

No wonder we can't give the damn things away.

Well it is a Jeep...I wouldn't really expect plush leather and a plethora of electronic gadgets.

Do you avoid school zones? Doesn't appear to be in a locked case.

[Sam1]

wouldn't that be considered loaded open carry and can you loaded open carry with a ccw?

Not sure what you mean exactly...the Sahara is a Wrangler. Anyway, I absolutely love this thing. Three years later and its still a total blast to drive. Take the top off (and the doors if you wish) during the summer and you're good to go! These really don't feel like the Wranglers of old at all. They're as smooth as a regular SUV and there's virtually no wind noise--even with the canvas top. Best of all, they still kick @ss off-road! And having the extra room with the 4 doors is simply awesome. Go test drive one and you will fall in love as well.

If you have a CCW, you can carry your weapon in your vehicle loaded and it does not have to be in a locked case. I asked the Sheriff's Dept. about this to be sure and they said as long as it is not in plain view of other motorists it is okay. So, leaving it on the dashboard would be a no-no.

I hate to break it to you, but your car is a male. You can tell the females because they're the ones with square headlights.

[Lone_Gunman]

Dammit. Not at all what I thought this thread was gonna be about.

[Sajedene]

Nice. And I thought all cars are female?

[Dr Rockso]

Nice. And I thought all cars are female?

My GF has some sort of proprietary method of determining which vehicles are males and which are females. I haven't cracked the code yet. The only thing about her schema that seems consistent is that all busses are fat girls.
