I do not believe this is possible. The forces involved in an automobile collision are tremendous.
I agree. The easiest way to defeat the force of a magnet is to hit it at a 90 degree angle from the pull. In other words, you may not be able to easily pull it straight away from the magnet, but you can easily slide it free of the magnet. So in the case of an accident, it will probably slide forward and free of the magnet's hold.

It is an interesting idea for securing a gun in a car though...

So, using this magnet frequently, is it possible your gun could become magnetized, and could that magnetic charge then potentially cause problems. I carry in close proximity to where my credit cards sit in my wallet. I've accidentally wiped cards before with a magnetic field.

Is this a valid concern or should I wear the tinfoil hat and stop worrying :smilelol5:

Perhaps even magnetize your tinfoil hat... Then THEY could hear your thoughts. :coolgleamA:
