I use a magnetic 
holster so I am off body in the car. I donāt want to be messing around my seatbelt if I have to draw in a hurry to defend myself or family.
I travel a lot for work and have been thinking about getting the quick draw magnet to place my glock on long commutes. Are these magnets legal to hold firearms or can it only be placed in a holster? I live in Texas.

Carry in vehicle?
Yes, without a license as of Sept. 1, 2021. However, it is an offense if it is in plain view, unless it is in a holster and you are either 21 years old or have a Texas LTC or a permit that Texas honors and provided you are not engaging in a criminal activity (other than a traffic violation). There are exemptions for peace officers, military, and other security and governmental professionals.*

It looks like @Nathan57 found the answer for you @Martin82 for Texas. I cannot speak with any authority to any jurisdictions outside of Kentucky. I can say absolutely it is legal in Kentucky to use magnet mounts for firearms. That said, be careful about leaving a firearm in a car, especially one that would be visible to someone walking by the vehicle.
Fun fact in Kentucky. When is a concealed deadly weapon not a concealed deadly weapon? KRS 527.020(8)
A loaded or unloaded firearm or other deadly weapon shall not be deemed
concealed on or about the person if it is located in any enclosed container,
compartment, or storage space installed as original equipment in a motor vehicle by
its manufacturer, including but not limited to a glove compartment, center console,
or seat pocket, regardless of whether said enclosed container, storage space, or
compartment is locked, unlocked, or does not have a locking mechanism.
Why? Because the law says so!

Thanks for the info. Yes I will be carrying in my vehicle and I do have my ltc. I just wanted to double check before I mount one in my truck.
Because I donāt have a mounted holster in the car, it remains on-body.

All I can think of is ājust because they think they can get away with itā.

So true, itās just sad when peoples do things like this to the elderly or childrenās that canāt defend themselves.
I carry with the seat belt on as worn with the lines behind the grip. This way it doesnāt interfere with the firearm or cause a hammer slip on my XDE 9mm. Even if it is on safe! Still.
Another reason I carry this way , should I ever be pulled over I can remove it from my waist line before an officer exits his vehicle and drop it to my floor board.
That way it is not in the way if I have to remove my seat belt. My registration / insurance/ and DL are where I can reach overhead and not into compartments. In my state an officer isnāt supposed to asked but I would also include my CCW license in case an officer wanted me to exit the vehicle. It just makes everything honest and safe.

You donāt think an officer will ask you what you dropped on the floor. Good luck with that.

Many people, such as myself, drive vehicles where it would not be possible to see taht action from a trailing vehicle.
ā¦or the officer asks, and he answers āmy holstered firearm itās on the floorā and, as Aaron40 stated, reaching for the seat belt or a pocket would not be towards the firearm

Recently tried shoulder holster. As a right handed person, driving in the USA, I found it comfortable, and ergonomically, easier to grasp, and have on the ready, God Forbid if I ever had to grab it. Plus, I can exit and enter, and not worry about forgetting or having to lock it inside the vehicle. Plus if ever in a car collision, Iād have it on me and less worry about where it fell or flew to whereby others would touch with without my permission.

Key points:
Before the Officer exits their vehicle my firearm would be removed because it is located near my seat belt release ( Iām right handed).
Submit my CCW with my license-registration-insurance that is located on my visor. Hands are visible.
If the Officer asked where the firearm is clarify where and why it was removed.
The key here is out of reach so if the officer asked me to exit the vehicle I will not have to reach where my pistol is located on me. I keep it on my side since 2020
