It’s not the norm but at times I have to carry what I consider a lot of cash with me on my job and on those days I keep my Glock wedged in between my seat and the center console of my truck. One weekend we made a last minute weekend trip to Ensenada with friends and while waiting in line at the military revision before the last toll booth I panicked, suddenly remembering I had left my gun wedged down alongside the seat. I started to sweat but I didn’t say anything to my wife or friends as I thought it would be better if they looked calm.

Fortunately we were waved through and I never told them that entire weekend as I didn’t want to hear all the lecturing but I never forgot that. Now, I always remember to check my truck from top to bottom when we go to Mexico.
