did you get it yet?

with the gas prices being so high, you may be better off to just have it shipped to your FFL of choice. just a thought.

It works out great here in Ohio. The lock box has a key to disengage the keypad, this still allows me to have to turn the mechanical latch to open the box keeping me within Ohio's asinine law but the box will lock if I want if I have to go into a no carry CPZ. I leave my MTAC XD holster on and just slip the gun in when I leave the car if I want that fire power. I can opt for the snubby in the pocket if the mood hits..

Being left handed makes for a odd setup for me. Drawing in a car from the the left is odd and unwieldy. The snub is in a right hand holster and I can carry it week side if I choose to in the car. It also works pretty darn good in the pocket to keep the snubby oriented for draw.
