Firearm Security in Vehcile

[cjmore]

When you are not carrying and are outside the home, where and how do you secure your firearm in your vehicle?

If I am outside, my firearm is with me period... Your question does not compute....


There are several manufacturers of car safes. Those little biometric ones work well for a trunk safe. By and large, I would venture to say the majority either throw it in 3 places: 1. under the seat, 2. in the glove box, 3. in the truck under the carpet.

Your vehicle is never "secure". Keep it on your person if at all possible.

YMMV

When I am outside, my firearm is too with me.

However in the office I currently work I can not wear and therefore I am looking for ideas on how to secure my gun while I am in the office and it's not on my person.

I have a security box. You can buy one at Gander Mountain that uses a key for $30. I bought mine from Midway USA for $20 that used a 3-digit code. Both come with a steel cable that locks inside the box and you can loop it around your seat frame. It also meets specs for flying in checked luggage.

hmm... can you talk to the boss and ask for written permission?

Is there a written policy that states you cannot carry if you have a lawful license?
- i.e A lot of places have that "No Open Carry of Firearms, etc" sign. But unbeknownst to them, that sign has no legal bearing on a personal with a lawful CCW.

I guess your options is some sort of safe in the car. Just google 'em.

In Colorado, private property rights trump CC law... if employer states no weapons on their property, then unless you get it in writing from them exempting you, or some group you're in, then it applies, CHP or not.

you technically may not be breaking the law, but they can certainly fire you on the spot for it.

Been through this research...

Yes I have spoke with corp HR and if I'd like to continue employment my option is very clear.

The feeback that I'm seeing is lockable case under the seat and /or out of sight out of mind....

I have the Jeep covered with the center console. The hard part with that is that it is open / no doors or top and therefore the risk of being seen pulling my gun and holster off my person is HIGH.

With the car I have better coverage and now need to address the storage.
