Firearm Security in Vehcile

[68Charger]

Hmm..camouflaging may be a better idea than reinforcing... why not put one of the biometric security boxes inside, say, an old beat up Igloo cooler(bolted through to the floor, of course)? Chances of someone peering into your vehicle and deciding they are going to jack your sandwich are probably lower than them wanting to steal your 5 year old cd changer.

unless they're hungry

disguise as something nobody would want- or only a liberal would want- because they would run screaming if they saw a gun?
OK, now I'm just trying to be funny, but you're talking "security through obscurity" make it look like something they wouldn't want, or even care about. a little of both would help.. something repulsive may keep them from breaking into the car in the first place...

What, like a Rush Limbaugh book that's really a gun safe?

I figured this topic was already in the bag. My guess would have been there were a number of folks on a board like this that had to unholster and secured a firearm in the car on occassion.

Firemoth and others – Thanks for attempting to hold the original coarse and steering us back on topic!

With some additional research and the google search I have a variety of results and possible solutions. I’ll post them here as I’m hoping to find a solution to the current need that’s cost effective and works!

**Leaving off Console lockers as they are “truck” specific and this is for a car.

I have the larger Gunvault for home storage, it has worked well for numerous years.

Cut a slit in the side of your passenger front seat. Sew it back up with a zipper the same color as the seat. Unzip, stick gun in seat, zip up, buy a seat cover. Thread over, I win.

Dude what kinda car are you driving? I have a tough time getting my cell out when dropped between the seats and the center console. I drive a full size car too!!

Thread over for Irving he wins a trip the dealership to trade in his 1979 hooptie

I like the idea of the Micro knowing that it's a deterrant and not a safe

With all the illegal contraband crossing borders and traveling along interstate highways on a daily basis it really isn't all that difficult to conceal things in most vehicles. I'm sure if you look closely in your vehicle there are cup holders or a storage compartment of some sort that removes easily for cleaning and there may be an area behind/under those areas where a handgun can be easily hidden yet not easily found. I had a chance years ago to help local law enforcement find a large quantity of cocaine that was discretely hidden in an S-class Mercedes when their drug dogs went off on the car but the police couldn't find anything. Things can be hidden in vehicles if you just use a little ingenuity.

I've been considering one of these.
