Where to keep vehicle registration in a VW Golf?

Where should you keep the registration form in an '04 Golf?

In my previous cars, I used to keep the registration behind a
clip-on mirror on the sun visor. But there doesn't seem to be
room to do this on my Golf, because the built-in mirror with
the sliding cover takes up so much room in the visor.

I'm currently keeping the registration in the side pocket of
the owner's manual, but I'm concerned that in the (hopefully
unlikely!) event that I were ever pulled over and asked to show
"license and registration", the police officer might freak out
if I were to go for the glove compartment (which might, for all
he/she knows, contain a gun).

Any thoughts (other than "don't ever drive in a way that would
ever make a police office think of wanting to pull you over")?

On the contrary.

I suggest you drive such that you get pulled over as frequently as
possible so that you're no longer worried about what might happen.

The Glove Box is always the place for it... nerver heard of anyone putting
it else where. if you are worry, do as the last person said and take a bus.

I second that (glove box). it's so common.

You shouldn't If the car is stolen then the thieves have it.

Keep it in the glove compartment like everyone else does.

One of the few time I've been pulled over the registration and insurance
card were sitting in the glove compartment right next to my gun. License
and carry permit were in my wallet. All you have to do is think and get
the registration and insurance card out while the cop is still at their
car. When they get to your car you already have the paperwork in hand.
You've typically got at least a good 60 seconds before they come over
while they get their paperwork in order and run your plate.

Why don't you buy a small trailer to tow?

In your wallet, dummy. That way it's always right near your driver's
license, but if someone steals your car, they won't have it.

I thought everybody kept the registration in the glove box. There was a time
in the U.S., about 50 or 60 years ago, when they were inserted into a clear
sleeve and strapped to the steering column. In those days, a steering column
was completely visible all the way to the firewall, and not buried inside
other components.
