    The console will hold a full sized pistol. But once you put in a Console Vault to secure it then you can't put a full size in anymore. :(

    Guns are what make America what it is. The cities and states that try to restrict guns are the ones that have the worst crime.

    Is it reliable? I've heard those are hit or miss... (pun intended) ;)

    Be careful with the Epi-pen stored in your vehicle.

    Where’s the best place to keep EpiPen® and EpiPen Jr® Auto‑Injectors?
    You should take your EpiPen® or EpiPen Jr® Auto‑Injectors everywhere you go, but they should be kept at room temperature (25°C, 77°F) until the marked expiration date, when they should be replaced. Your EpiPen® or EpiPen Jr® Auto‑Injector should not be refrigerated or exposed to extreme heat or light. Keep these temperature requirements in mind if you’re thinking of putting your auto‑injectors in your car’s glove compartment, for example. Learn how to receive a complimentary carrying case for your EpiPen® or EpiPen Jr® Auto‑Injectors.

    I do a lot of work close to the Mexican border. I wish I could keep a sidearm but it's not allowed on any job sites. If I could, I'm more of an old school wheel gun guy. My S&W 686 in .357 mag has become almost part of me because I've owned it so long.
    I do keep a pretty extensive first aid kit, several gallons of water, duct tape, flares, a spare serpentine belt, air compressor, tire repair kit, my tool set for work, and an umbrella for protection from the hot South Texas sun. Deet and sunblock are handy too.

    Depends on where I'm going, what I'm doing & the time of year.

    If it's just the work commute or headed for groceries or a buddies place I have a back pack I carry.

    In it is my billfold, cell phone, grizzly, a streamline flashlight, extra glasses, ink pen, some sort of food & drink and a H&K .45 USP.

    For road trips I add a small tool bag with basic hand tools and a battery powered air compressor with a plug kit.

    During the winter I add in some insulated cover alls, warm hat & gloves.

    I always have a rain coat, gloves and a can of Clorox wipes in the vehicle.

    I forgot, I've also got a small air pump that plugs into the cigarette lighter and tire patch kits. Don't store anything in my tool box for long time. Don't have a key to the lock and haven't replaced the lock yet.

    IT NEVER ENDS..........
    For daily stuff gun is on my hip with regular everyday carry items. I typically take a go bag filled with crap for the day. But I tend to change out my truck for different times of year. Adding wet weather or cold weather items as necessary. Always have a first aid kit, shit paper, baby wipes, rags ,hand sanitizer and extra water, gum and some snacks. Always have a way to start a fire ,a hatchet ,machete and an e tool or big shovel. Typical truck tools, leatherman, flashlight, rope, cord, gloves leather and mechanic and a lot of the other stuff listed plus a solar power charger for phone just in case. Like to see what different areas and occupations tend to carry and use the most.

    Have had no malfunctions in the past 500 rds so I'm content with it. I unload and reload the mags regularly to keep the springs in check

    Much easier to dispose of unwanted guest with an equalizer like that. It's against the law in Canada to protect your family and your home. Cant' shoot someone even if they've entered with the intent to harm. WTF.
