Could a thief defeat it?
Sure, but they'd have to have the right tools, time and circumstance. Just like a gun safe in one's home.
About the only time I leave my Glock in my truck is when going to a doctors visit. In days gone by, I didn't have to do that as my doctors clinic had no 30.06 sign and he'd greet me with a smile and ask: You packing?
Ah, those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end...
My fear with using a lock box in my vehicle is how easy would it be to access in a time of need? What kind of gun safe do you guys recommend? I would certainly want one that's quick to get into in the event I need to get to my gun in a hurry. I truly value the opinion and recommendations of you long time CHL/LTC holders. As TAM pointed out, I've only recently joined the forum (November) and I joined just after applying for my LTC so i'm still a rookie.
I'm actually going to start a new topic for suggestions on gun safe's/lock boxes so as not to hijack this thread looking for recommendations on a truck safe.
My pistol is on my hip when I am in my vehicle. It is easily accessible to me. I only secure it in my vehicle if I must leave it there when I am away from home. For example, if I am visiting my mother in the hospital.
