Vehicle weapon storage solutions

Covert Naughty Carry?
And a seat or dash mounted holster is a faster and easier draw than onbody cross draw and probably even appendix, especially if you are wearing a jacket or hoodie or somesuch.

Why covert though? Even when traveling through a state like New Jersey, why would they need to search your person?

I dunno. Like illegal search and seizure doesn't occur? And in states like NY and NJ you are fucked if you get caught. Not right at all. RECIPROCITY NOW!!

I have reciprocity.

I would not keep a gun in the jeep. Soft tops with zippers are not exactly secure. In my Impala I have a trunk gun. It's a shotgun in a hard case with locks. That's locked to the actual trunk. I disabled the interior trunk release so the trunk can only be opened with the key fob. The trunk acts like a metal gun cabinet. Even then I don't usually leave it in the car overnight. It's more for when I'm traveling where my permit is not valid or road trips. It's not the quickest to access but that's not the point. If I break down or some sort of civil unrest occurs when I'm away from home I don't ever want to be unarmed.

I think leaving firearms or ammo in the vehicle is a bad idea.
If the thugs steal your vehicle then it is a big problem.

If for some reason I need to leave a gun in the Jeep, I have an under the seat lock box that is bolted to the bottom brackets of the seat. I like the fact that I am legal in all States throughout the Country, but following all laws (Most of them anyway) sometimes I am forced to leave the gun behind.

Not so with appendix or crossdraw. 4 o'clock is for the birds. But that isn't what these guys here want to do. They want to take apart dashes to hide them.

Negative, Ghost Rider. I already said I can't carry appendix because I'm a fat piece of shit. Putting at 4/5/6 just sticks out when I'm seated at my desk all day.

I don't WANT to take apart anything, I just want something easy. In this case, maybe leaving it in my backpack is easier.

I have reciprocity in many states but not all, and I'll never have it in anti gun states like NY, or even South Carolina which does not honor PA's permit for some reason and they do not issue non resident permits. Also the financial and bureaucratic burden of mantaining country wide state reciprocity is high. And I drive all upper 48 states

 

[Podmonkey]

Also covert in vehicle storage is a good method to secure a weapon in the event you are going to a place where arms are forbidden.

Same thing with leaving guns out of a safe in a home. I know plenty of people that do that. It's a bad idea in my opinion. I just try to make it so they look for easier targets.

Oh heel, I am not even sure if half of my guns are locked in a Safe. I have them all over the place.

Yes, but such provision need not be for long term storage when you are not in the vehicle either. Excepting in instances I mentioned above.

 

[Cleck]

I would also agree that leaving guns in a vehicle is a bad idea if you live in an area where thefts happen a lot, or if you're retarded like some of my neighbors, and don't lock your shit. I leave my guns in a safe at home when I'm not wearing them. I'll just stick to the bag for now, until I find a solution I like.

Goperfect,
I wonder if anyone knows all the laws and ordinances in all the places one drives through.
The laws are so twisted and arbitrary that it seems that they are designed to confuse and might trap honest
law abiding citizens into making some mistake.
When in doubt leave the firearms at home and also never leave firearms or ammo in a car.
One can put all safety features but a car has wheels and then your car and fiream will be gone and
then that is a big problem.

Concealed is... Oh nevermind.

All well and good unless you live 99% of your life in a vehicle. Then its a de facto ban of your 2nd Amendment rights. And thats not right!

Once I saw a reporter shooting how an former criminal could open cars in under a minute and drive.
With new "smart" cars is even easier and faster. ..I mean for true professionals.
I will never leave my gun out of my sight and control. It is the right thing to do as responsible firearm owner.

You never leave a gun in a car? Ever? Even just to run into the post office or something?

I do not travel a lot. I go on vacation out of state once a year and prior to going anyway, I do a bit of research on the areas that I will visit. I can never know all of the stupid nonsense laws. I try to learn all of the basic ones possible. I also try to take no non-needed chances. Out of state police can be real assholes. Even when carrying a badge!

I am not saying it should be forbidden, I am saying what applies to me and other drivers.
Someone might find a way to do it right and have an unbreakable safe + vehicle that cannot be stolen.

Never. I don't go to the post office.
If I have to go somewhere where guns are not allowed then I leave it at home in my safe.

I carry everywhere, to include the Post office. In and out. If there is a metal detector, I do not go in.

You are armed and going to a function. Upon arrival you discover that guns are not allowed and metal detectors are being used. Do you go home? You are running errands all day, all over. One of your errands takes you to a goverment building. Do you not carry during the rest of your errands?

But when I do... I mean when my friend does.

But for truckers guns basically are forbidden. I have to travel through ban states all the time, so I can't exercise my natural right to armed self defense. And that is bullshit!

That has happened to me before. I lock it up but I'm not going to dismantle the dash like some say here.

I normally plan ahead and don't go to private businesses that do not welcome CC owners.
When in doubt and if it is something that I must do then I leave the gun in my safe.
That is the safest place for my gun. If my car was safer I would leave it there but it is not.

In the ideal world I would love things to be easier but we are not in the ideal world.

It doesn't have to be some crazy narco smuggler setup y'know. Lockbox under the rear bench is practical. Or a concealed locking compartment in the center console.

Did I miss a post? Someone actually wants to tear apart their dash board? I am all about security in the car, but that seems a bot much.

I agree that is bullshit. It is sad people are left disarmed and defenseless for whatever the reason but that is what we have unfortunately
and with the new legislation it is getting worse. I hope Trump starts doing something soon to restore what it was lost
with the liberal crazies.
