I would bolt down a steel safe above the fuel tank. Keep your pistol on your hip, should give you enough opportunity to access the steel box.

You would, would you?

Don't forget to shield it in titanium-infused carbon fiber.

Vehicles will get broken into, all the time. Be it less or more likely depending on your location, but it will still happen a lot more than a home invasion or bodily assault.

All you’ve done, when you leave a weapon in the car, is armed an asshole. It’s one of the primary sources of weapons for criminals, and an easy one to cut off.

Arms should be on your person, or temporarily stowed if not possible, but never permanently located in a vehicle.

/end of rant

Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man.

There is truth in his words, cars are where they find guns,
we had a crew run the neighborhood looking to break in cars
parked outside. If it was unlocked they went in, only thing
they could be looking for was electronics, purses , wallets
or guns.

They make safes for consoles that you can store a gun
most I find are pistol safes only.

I live in a semi rural neighborhood,

someone came thru about 10 yrs ago and did just that, every car that was unlocked got rummaged thru,


one house on the other end of the street has a few cops living on it, one had a smg of some kind in the back and did not lock it up,

neighbors told me the VSP and ATF went door to door one day looking for any CCTV type alarm coverage,


no idea if it was ever recovered

at our first house we were victims, fortunately there were no firearms in our cars, but they did get my tool bag and range bag (some ammo and mags)

Sorry, but there are times one must weigh risk against need.

To say that one should never keep a firearm in a vehicle is shortsighted, to say the very least. Risk of theft can be gauged, and if a man is parking his vehicle in a populated area, people coming and going, and it's daylight, the risk of a car break-in is quite low.

Leaving a firearm overnight in a vehicle, now that's a different story, but the idea that leaving a rifle in one's car, is always a bad idea, is simply not true.

These days, the idea that when you leave your house, you are limited only to a concealable handgun, might leave you vulnerable when it counts.

are they the ones that used a rubberized kinda material? or am I thinking Galati?

I use some Vintage Assault System cases, 4 or 5 mag pockets and a large front pocket

had some for 25+ yrs and they still look great,



to be honest, I sometimes travel with an AR or Shotgun (riot type) cased in the back,, behind the rear seat) with the retractable cover pulled,

not exactly grab and go, or easy to get to, but out eyesight, and never left overnight,

SUV's are dangerous, and they are bad for the environment. All that climate change is caused by SUVs. If you carry a rifle in a SUV it becomes even more dangerous because rifles are dangerous, danger x danger = danger squared or danger raised to the power of two. The number two begins with a T and that is also a dangerous letter, as it's phonetic name is TANGO, tango can be slang for TERRORIST, and that is also a dangerous word, plus it is racist. So in summary SUV's are not only dangerous but also racist so people should drive full sized pickups, because they are very safe and not racist, and you can put a truckvault in the back of them and carry more rifles.

Yeah, I will leave my truck gun in the vehicle during the day, wherever I am. But they get brought inside at night. Easy enough to prevent theft that way. My lever action is the easiest to hide. Ar with accessories a little more difficult, but like Para said easy enough to disguise.

I have an AR pistol that I can take apart (remove the barrel) and fold the stock/buffer tube with a LAW adapter. It fits into a computer bag and doesn’t look like a rifle. If I travel I take that gun with me. I’ve walked into motels with it over my shoulder and no one bats an eye.

It’s the Pantheon Prometheus https://www.pantheonarms.com/p...t-page/prometheus-sc.

I also have a 300 BO barrel with the same system so I can swap them.
Getting the gun into working order takes less than 30 seconds.

I went with one of these. I would certainly contact them and see if they have something available to fit. https://tuffyproducts.com/prod...-350-450-super-duty/

The box is solidly built. While nothing is impenetrable, this thing inspires confidence.

Loaded...which is why I prefer a 10 inch AK. In an old canvas brief that comes with me when I leave the vehicle.

Anything can be broken in to, you can spend a lot of money to get a high security solution. Or you can hide it to the best of your ability yet keep it accessible when needed. Out of sight with locked doors is the best precaution where I live. After monitoring the crime blotter every week for years, the most common break ins are unlocked doors and where people leave things in plain sight (like a purse or laptop in the open). Smash and grabs are common and they are not going to take the time to rummage through an entire vehicle when there are plenty of easy targets.

It also helps to not have gun stickers all over your vehicle advertising the likelihood of firearms being inside.

I only have it when going back and forth to work or family. Whenever I can bring it in with me.

If I’m going grocery shopping I just toss it in the trunk in the storage area where the spare tire goes if the car came with a spare (it didn’t). It never stays in the car overnight in public or if I’m going to be more than an hour away from the car. If I’m at work, it’s parked in a secure area. If I’m at home, it’s in the garage.

I have an extra pistol locked in a safe in trunk with room for my edc in case I enter a restricted area. My suv has a built in cover that when you walk by you can’t see in the trunk.
I’m actually researching how to install a lock for the storage compartment in the trunk area.

I don’t go out much. I don’t socialize much. If a friend has a party, they let me bring it in and toss it somewhere out of the way.

My youngest is 16. He’s primarily the only one I would have in the car. He’s really familiar with all my weapons so it’s his go to gun if something happens. My daughter is now 21 and has her own gun and car.

Bulldog discreet case. Fits suppressed sbr.

Not an SUV, but in the factory storage box under the rear seat of my Tundra Double Cab. I stuff an outdoor blanket around it to keep it from moving, but it's almost a perfect fit as is.

I have an under bed safe drawer with steel cables bolted to the floor of my FJ cruiser. I keep an AR9 that takes Glock mags in ii.

This is the the safe drawer:
