Good way to hide a gun in locked car?
When you have to park you car and walk into a gun-free building (school, etc), what are some good hiding methods to use so it would be harder to be found by a petty car thief should they break in to steal contents, not the entire vehicle?

Depends on the car.
I drive a Mini Cooper and have the best hiding spot ever.
Easily accesable but no one would find it unless they parted out the car.
What kind of car?

There is a thread somewhere that deals with lockable boxes. They will stop the smash and grab robbery. Also learned from that thread to remove the clip/magazine and take it with you so at least the thug is not istantly armed with YOUR weapon. ![thumbs2 :thumbs2:](./images/smilies/thumbsup2.gif)

I use the in car safe from center-of-mass. I like that you can order more than one, but have them keyed the same. We've used them for several years and I recommend them.

Re: Good way to hide a gun in locked car?
I usually empty my trash bag on top of my mounted lock case when I have to leave my weapons in the vehicle. I once emptied a laundry bag on top of it, after all who's gonna look through dirty clothes? I'll leave what clothes to your imagination
. but its always in a locked box that is out of sight under normal conditions, but with the added "camo" its even more difficult to see.

How do you explain a dog named Sauer without first telling the story of a Puppy named Sig?

Lock box under the seat. There's not really another place in the car I drive.

Used diapers covering a gun in the floorboard will probably be great protection, ...except from rust.

I actually have done what G.A. said numerous times.
The head attorney once said "You need to clean out your car"
I asked, then what would I use to cover up my guns in the floorboard in the Burger King sacks? ... the $20,000.00 cash in the floorboard under the newspapers I'm taking to the Casino tonight?
Seriously, if I had to disarm often, I'd get a lock box or car safe.

Hang it on the pitbull's collar? ![Jester :biggrinjester:](./images/smilies/biggrinjester.gif)
I hace the COM lockboxes plus use the same camo technique but mainly because I use passenger floorboad as trash bag instead of littering.

Reasonable gun control is hitting your target with the first shot.

You could take it a step further and field strip it to scatter the pieces in different locations.Topbuilder wrote:There is a thread somewhere that deals with lockable boxes.

Re: Good way to hide a gun in locked car?
lock box cabled to the seat frame. It will stop the "smash and grab" but if the miscreant thought to bring bolt cutters, I'm toast.
Re: Good way to hide a gun in locked car?
I mounted mine under the steering wheel.

Cool idea. Do you have that holster bolted down somehow?AustinBoy wrote:I mounted mine under the steering wheel.
