Vehicle gun storage

Whenever my 1911 is in the car it is holstered on my right hip. When I get out of the car it's... still holstered on my right hip.

If I NEED to leave it in the truck...keyed metal box with cable

Usually grab an old Macdonalds bag and slide the holstered gun inside. Then it goes on the floor with the other 8 bags of crap.

Great camouflage is very effective

Keyed metal box with two carriage bolts inside through the floor.

Another keyed metal box here. I had thought about bolting it to the floor but the cable is convenient. I keep it down between the seat and tunnel so it's out of sight.

Tip: check and get one that is deep. I bought the first one I found and it's fine but I saw ones that are a tad more. Would be easier if you wanted to throw in your wallet or other valuables.

I have a monster vault in my Chevy Tahoe.
A bit pricey but worth it.

I have a Console Vault in my truck just in case I need to leave my pistol. I have two keyed lock boxes cabled in the bed of the truck for FOPA travel.

First off My vehicles have decent aftermarket alarms. The I have a lock box with a cable to a seat strut. I eventually plan to install a larger lock box that will fit behind the seat in my truck. this will allow storage of a shotgun and a few rifles. This will also be cabled to two seat struts.

I prefer combination locks versus keys, so the cheap boxes I have are combinations, which can be a little harder to find sometimes. I like them because you can set the combination the same on multiple boxes and never have to worry about misplacing/forgetting the key. You do need light to see the numbers on the combination locks. But, keyed locks do have their advantages as well.

I have one of these:

And a couple of these:

Neither are anything to get excited about, but both serve their intended purpose.
