I was under the impression that nothing becomes dangerous, because no one plans on getting into an accident.
Nothing except the weapon.

You forgot one:
An unsecured weapon in vehicle becomes a dangerous guided missile in a crash while any other unsecured items in that vehicle will safely be deflected by the driver's personal force field.

I'm on my way to the house! I will try to take a picture of the way the backseat of my truck is as we sit! It's pretty scary!
You two will conclude I obviously have a death wish!
In all fairness, it is hunting season; so it will look like it too!
Wait, you don't bring your own tactical bag to the grocery store? Molle webbing to attach all of your steaks? Heavy-duty velcro to attach to your tactical seat covers?

It's not "you two." My reasoning for disliking in-car off-body carry relates to muscle memory as opposed to flying debris. In a crash without a rollover, everything will generally move in one direction. You may get hit with the firearm if you are t-boned on the driver's side. It's not like the firearm will bounce around the cabin like a pinball between two bumpers. In a rollover, the heavier objects will want to move outward. It may hit you on the way out the window. But if you get t-boned or if you are in a rollover, based on crashes I've seen, there are usually worse things going on that the bump or laceration from the flying weapon. No, my concern is being able to reach for the weapon without having to look away from the threat that prompted you to reach for it in the first place.
Please don't get my disdain for off-body carry misconstrued.
I choose not to off-body carry in a vehicle for the same reasons you do, along with the additional possibility of forgetting to grab it in the event you need to exit the vehicle quickly. I also do not like additional unnecessary administrative tasks. Gun goes in holster, holster goes in my pants. End of the day, holstered gun comes out and into the safe.
Be nice, now!
I couldn’t imagine taking a holster off and on all day long (would drive me crazy). I also train from a holstered gun *not from between the seats*.
I will consult a certified NRA instructor with approved instructor shirt for advice ASAP.

Does no one else ride around with their AK on the dash?
Am I the only one?

I couldn't agree more. Training to draw from (insert location that isn't where gun is carried) requires a lot of extra effort than training to draw from the same spot that it is always at, all day.
A lot of people think they'll be able to get their gun from wherever they stow it when they need it, but that simply isn't the case. Plus, stowing it leads to the possibility of intentionally or unintentionally leaving it wherever it is stowed, which has a lot higher probability of being bad compared to being on person or in a safe.
Yep, Good with my Easy Rider Rifle Rackie.
