I personally would never leave any weapon in a vehicle that is out of my sight, but since this is not about me, I would recommend making it as hard as possible for the thieves. I would fix a gun vault type lock box into a Tuffy lock box, and take the magazine with you. Another solution is to put a gun vault in the storage compartment in the back. If it's not big enough, get a Woods storage tub enlargement kit. The last place I would put it would be under a seat. That's one of the first places they look.

EDIT TO ADD: Keep it with you... dont get caught... its your right to carry so F their policies[/QUOTE]

Uh..no! If you don't get caught fine....but what are the odds of that eventually. This sounds like a sure fire way to lose your job.

I vote for a tough, lockable box and a very silent voice.

Well, this is an old thread and I'm sure the OP has already found his solution, but I can't help but mention that you really need to consult your state laws before choosing a way to store a gun in your vehicle.

In California, for instance, it is not legal to put a handgun in your glovebox or a utility box. Most attorneys (familiar with applicable law) will advise you that as soon as you bolt a gun safe to your jeep it most likely would be considered a utility box, and therefore illegal. (Penal Code 12026.1). The Center of Mass box with the cable is an acceptable lockable container because it isn't actually attached to your vehicle.

Wow! ots of opinions on this.

To the OP, its a matter of what you are willing to risk out here in Vegas.

If you have a hard top, go for a good lockbox, hide it, and don't worry too much.

If you have a soft top or no top, i wouldnt risk it unless you could hide it in a really good lockbox.

Either way you go, if its against company policy for firearms to be on company property, they could go after you. First, though, they need to believe you have it in your car or on your person. Second, how many others do we have around town with firearms in their cars? I know several.

Ultimately, its up to you. just be sure to secure it as good as possible if you choose to bring it with ya. I know there are places around here i wouldn't drive without one. Just be smart and be safe.

I don't see a problem with it being under the seat if its in a lock-box, which is bolted to the floor.

And you're wrong, the first place they look is glove box, then arm rest storage, then back seat, trunk, and then they might check under the seat.

Thats one of the most retarded things i've heard. Wouldn't it be easier to snap the cable wire with a bolt cutter, than try to break the bolts that are screwed from inside the box?

You do this often? You seem to know so much. I'd be wrong if I had said it was the first place they look, but I actually said it was "one" of the first places they look. All the other ones you mention are just as valid.

Seryoga

lol, i don't do it, but i know a few guys who used to do it.

I couldn't do it simply cause i would hate if someone had done it to me.

I don't think so. At least in Texas, if it is in your car it doesn't matter where you are, even at the courthouse or elementary school. I keep my 45 on me and when that is not possible, it goes in the storage in the back so that it can't be gotten without breaking the lock on the tail gate or taking a hatchet to the little trap door.

I carry matches!! and a fire extinguisher,, The fire extinguisher works very well as a blunt object to hit with..

Sorry for straying,, but all this taco talk has got me hungry enough that my blood sugar levels are going haywire.. We have no good mex restaurants either.. now I'm just angry!

And to add to the fun,, I believe in CCW,, but if your going to leave it in the jeep,, get a safe mounted.. its the only safe way,, if it gets stolen it would blow to find out someone was killed with it.. just food for thought.. a brain taco?

Damned I'm hungry.. I'm going to check if my woman has made my dinner yet...

Edit,, why is the time always off soo much?? Its 4:30 and it says I'm posting at 1:30? California time?? another conspiracy!
