Handgun Security Mods

These are good ideas!

Scuba! I sent you a pm but your box was full.

 

Basically what it comes down to is trying to prevent a "smash and grab" which is the vast majority of all vehicle break ins. There is no practical vehicle safe that will prevent theft from a thief with A:Time and B:Tools. But we might as well make them work for it!

 

On an Island... I am going to link your write up if that is ok

 

My pleasure. That's what it's there for.

 

I will provide a link but be advised, certain states may not comply and give one a very hard time (including "hard time") if a handgun is found no matter what the circumstances.

On the other hand, look at this one, especially for N.Y. and N.J.

Has anyone looked at that panel at the back of the armrest? Is there a space underneath that that a handgun would fit in?

 

Excellent!

Most of my travels are in "free" states so it's not that big of an issue, but it's good info to have.

 

i like the under the dash idea but wondering if it will hold long term with the majority of the gund weight hanging.i have my ccw here in WA state and carry most all the time.been thinking about setting my truck up with one of my pistols with something like these in the pics

 

oh and i should have stated that i carry loaded and hot at all times

 

i was told the under the dash does not work in texas because its not concealed if u can look in the car or truck and see it, its not concealed.

 

It's going to vary by state.

In some open-carry states, the CCW/CHL is a permit that allows loaded carry even when open.
Likewise, many states extend the definition of "domicile" to include the vehicle. Nearly all include hotel rooms, campers, tents, and cabin boats.
In your domicile, anything goes.

 

Glad to be in Louisiana.. Open carry state so mine never has to leave my side...especially with a CCP

 

Subd for the future. Great job on the thread op.
