Re: AIWB and seat belt position
My approach is to have the belt over the holster but I tuck my shirt behind the holster to ensure access to the firearm. The seat belt properly working in case of a collision is my first priority.

Re: AIWB and seat belt position
Exactly what I do. Doing this, I can and do have a full grip on my pistol when I stop in traffic. I can cross my weak hand over the top to assist in hiding what I’m doing if necessary. It just looks like I’m sitting with my hands crossed in my lap while I wait to resume driving. Head on a swivel, because you’ve got to see “them” coming.

Re: AIWB and seat belt position
Why would you advertise your gun?
That's like open carry.

Re: AIWB and seat belt position
It depends on the circumstances and this is where your judgment comes into play. At night it's not even going to be visible from outside the vehicle. And in daytime, someone will have to directly look down at your lap to see it. Regardless, it's also a good idea to be able to readily cover it up with the shirt if necessary in order to keep the firearm concealed.

Re: AIWB and seat belt position
Don't know where you guys drive, but on my way to work i see 15 beggars at all the robots... wouldn't have my FA open to the public like that. I try to be very observant when I drive but I don't think I see everything at every robot, stop, etc. Should someone get the jump on me and sees my FA the situation will be very different than if they thought I was unarmed

Re: AIWB and seat belt position
I honestly think AIWB is the most comfortable position to carry while driving. Of course belt and shirt placement while driving is absolutely key, so that the seatbelt doesn't get in the way.
