I'm looking at some type of locking device for it. I would definitely feel better. My maintenance person at work owns a fab shop and I have him looking to make me something.
I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

| On the few times I've kept an AR in my car, I used a long, thick steel cable lock. I locked the bolt back, threaded the cable through the ejection port and out the magazine well. I then locked it to the car seat anchor points in the car. I figure the BCG is locked back, preventing disassembly, and the cable goes through the upper and lower. It's fairly strong, would definitely prevent a smash and grab theft. I even took a cheap case and cut out space for the cable, so it's covered as well. |

| I've spent the previous few years going back and forth on the subject of the trunk gun. I like the idea and can see quite a bit of benefit in the idea, especially if we were expecting the apacolypse to happen tomorrow. My primary concern is making sure it isn't stolen before it is needed and reducing the financial risks while maintaining its serviceability. If it were me I'd want an AR pistol with a 12" barrel and a brace to allow me to keep it loaded while conforming to local laws regarding loaded long guns. Failing that I can see keeping a 16" carbine broken down in one of those Larue or Hazard 4 cases. But for this to work it would probably need to either be a trunk or some kind of discreet storage compartment in an SUV.
Laughing in the face of danger is all well and good until danger laughs back.

Keep a load out carrier of some sort with hi cap pistol and rifle mags, so no matter what weapon you need to use, you've got plenty of ammo. Can't get away by car? Have enough ammo for your handgun to get you to your long gun if possible. If that's a no go, at least you have enough to keep the handgun running.
