If you are mostly listening, you should be fine. Most cigarette outlets are rated for 8 amps at 13.8v. My Cobra 19 DX III only uses 1.2 amp on transmit so it is safe for me do what you are suggesting. Some vans and trucks have "power outlets" that are rated for 18-20 amps that would be perfect even for a long talker.
The power post you are suggesting scares me since leaves things so exposed. I ended up using the following that you can buy in almost any store with basic automotive electrical parts.
Terminals and Spades and a Replacement Cigarette Adapter. The Cigarette adapter in stores is usually rated for 3 amps. For CB's that should be plenty, but if the fuse pops after some long TX you may need to figure out running a Positive wire to the battery and the black to bolt to the car frame.
Invest in some of these, one of these, some self tapping screws, and some ring terminals.
Since your later comment says you've had it this way for 7 months, you need to know this kind of laziness is bound to cause problems. Problems such as blown fuses, intermittent operation, noise heard from the speakers, and possibly a fire. Do you know how it feels to have your car start on fire due to an electrical fault? I do, and it's the worst feeling.
