gun Safe for Car

[kickshot7]

I wanted to get some opinions and different options for storing a gun in a car. I am a CHL holder, and I do carry whenever possible. But sometimes my job makes me go to schools, and I never carry in a school. I can still have my gun locked in my car.

I've seen options with a cable that locks around something, and then I just pull it out as I need. But ideally, I'd like something like a drawer under my seat that I could just stick a key and have the drawer pop out.

Do any of you guys know anything like this? Or have any better ideas?

Thanks!

i dont recall who/what/where, but they do make small gun safes/lock boxes for bolting into cars.

Any one else having the same issues ? Trying no to be another statistic.
Safety is everything

Your about 21 aren't you? And illiterate, and(I hate this)maybe from a foreign country.

Keep it hidden in the trunk when not in use. If you drive a SUV and don't have a trunk hide it under a panel such as where the spare tire is stored. Either way it would still be out of sight and locked up. If you're still worried about someone finding it and killing someone with it store or hide the ammo separately from the gun.

More nonsense.

I use a "Stack-on" PC-095 locker for in the car. fit under the seat and with velcro on bottom minimizes sliding into view. Adequate for a "snatch & grab", might delay for a more determined person. this uses a three digit combination lock, another has a key, and a third has an digital lock.

Have seen a Hornady locker, goes around a substantial anchor in vehicle, and seems a robust construction, but hangs out in view.

only saving grace, they all meet CA standards, [for what ever value that means].

Good Luck, post back what you decided.

Concealed carry does not = a badge. You cannot unholster/reholster in public view. So, scratch the notion of a trunk safe. Any security device which may be spotted while parked is a target. (drawer, reinforced console, etc.) It doesn't matter "how much time it'll take 'em to open it". The car is stolen in under a minute and can be off the street in minutes. They have as much time as it takes.

Use common sense and put it out of view as one would with any valuables to be left behind. Do it before you arrive. Never be seen putting something into a vehicle only to walk away.

Come on guys, you are being too tough on kickshot. If I were still around, I would have told him to forget about the safe's, cables, etc. Just follow common sense rules and keep your carry gun out of sight and lock your car. People break into cars for one of two reasons:

1. To steal something they believe (or can see) is inside the vehicle.

2. To steal the car.

#1 is easy, just do what JB says....

#2 Why would they steal your car instead of one of the dozens of other nearby cars? It is probably because it is easy... you left the keys in the ignition, or the windows cracked open, or maybe you drive a Corvette, or a Ferrari and left the top off in East St Louis.

In any event it is easy to place your carry piece out of sight and secure your car. If somebody steals your locked vehicle and then uses your tire tool to kill somebody... you are not liable. If somebody steals your locked vehicle, finds your legal carry gun, and kills somebody, you are not liable.
