Firearm storage in your Z

dvboy · 03-20-2016, 08:54 AM

Here in Canada I have NEVER seen a gun in a public place before in my 50 years,it's just not part of our culture.Don't think it's a coincidence our gun related casualties are significantly lower than in the US.

Gentlemen this wasn't a thread to discuss gun policies or what you feel is safer. I carry my firearm and that's my decision, I just wanted opinions about storage. Let's not get political about who thinks what should happen about guns

My HK VP40 fits perfectly in the glove box but of course it's not readily available. I like that under the steering wheel option though.

I carry on me and try not to go where I'm not wanted.

This...

No need for a mount in the car. It's on my waist

I drive with mine in my lap. If I need to store it I place it in the glovebox because it locks.

Course I drive a G so not sure if the Z box locks.

I put my HK P30 in the slot behind the passanger seat.

My preferred carry gun is a S&W Bodyguard 38 revolver. Since it is a smaller gun, if it is not on me, in its holster it fits easily in the glove box. Laws here require if you do not have a concealed carry permit, it needs to be in a closed compartment.

I haven't tried storage locations for any of my larger guns since none of those are as comfortable to carry concealed. I usually leave them at home when I am out in the Z.

I think I'm going to try the under steering wheel mount, I want to be able to get to mine and the glove box and back compartment are not within quick reach. I may figure a mount and put it right behind the passenger seat since I have people in my car often. Thanks for the ideas guys

If you go to the car wash or valet your car can the gun be easily stolen?

If I do anything like that I put my firearm on my waist or backpack

My .45 1911 stays within easy reach of my bed. If I feel I need a gun when I'm driving I'll just run the MF over.
