Don't get too down, you sir were very close!
EVERYONE should. I don't mean to not be courteous here but it's a huge pet peeve of mine when people treat their car/truck like it's a safe. I know many people firsthand that have had their guns stolen because they thought a locked truck with a gun "hidden" was good enough. Much like putting your wallet in your shoe at the beach criminals know where to find it.
I have an F-150 and because a long gun is a must for me as a "truck gun" I have a lock box under the back seat. Because I have young kids with car seats I couldn't get the flip-up kind, so I found this ingenious drawer style that pulls out either side. (DEE ZEE DZ701).
In my center console for quicker access for the very rare times when I don't have my pistol on me or had to take it off to go into a controlled facility etc. I have the armrest safe bolted in place.
It's just too easy to secure your guns, also please don't use a magnetic mount that will cause your gun to fly around the car if you are in a car accident and encourage you to leave it unsecured in the vehicle.
I'll have to figure out how to post pics but my truck gun(s) setup is an AR kitted out to my preferences (red dot, light, sling) with a lightweight chest rig carrying reloads in the back seat lockbox drawer and a Glock 17 with holster and spare mags in the center console safe.
I have a steel lock box in my car connected with steel cable under my seat that mine gets locked into when I can’t carry
Thanks everyone for their replies! Much appreciated.
Ive thought about tossing a Hi-Junk in the truck over the years. But I've also always thought a smaller 9 or 45 carbine would be a good truck gun.
Please include pics of the truck along with not turning off geolocation on your photos.
Yes. I have a Consul Vault in my Ram 2500. Made to fit the interior of the center consul. Tons of room and give comfort that the typical smash and grab won't get whats inside. Now if truck was parked in my garage and I was on vacation and theif had 30 minutes to pry and bang on it then he'd probably get in. That's not the intended purpose nor my reason to get it though.
I'd really like to keep my new lever gun in my truck but afraid it would get stolen in a smash and grab.
Why would you ever turn that off?
So I can’t see the location of every pic you take and post online? Good to see where someones house is, where their daughter is… ot in this case where trucks with guns are located.
I was being sarcastic. Then I realized I maybe posted a pic I didn’t take. Equally negligent. So I’m still a *******. Thanks for the reminder.
