Cramsey Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I am looking to get a gun safe for the legacy. Anyone out there already got one for the car yet? Any good recomendations? Looking to store a S&W M&P 9c. Thanks for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted July 30, 2012 I Donated Share Posted July 30, 2012 I didn't store my M&P9c in my car. I just carried it on me. Its small enough to easily conceal. You can get any safe and bolt it to the floor or inside the trunk. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/broknindarkagain/96%20Outback/9aae5175.jpg -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

LosAngelesLGT Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 ^what he said unless you have some specific need for something out of the ordinary. Keep in mind anything that will slow someone down meaningfully will be ~100lbs+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted July 30, 2012 I Donated Share Posted July 30, 2012 A small simple safe will do more then enough if you bolted it inside the trunk. Nobody would ever know its there (thats the most important part), and being tucked away in the back of the truck will make it difficult to pry, hammer, drill, etc -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

BAC5.2 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Why is that? Because he doesn't understand ammunition. Car gun safe. Are you prepared for your gun to be stolen? A "safe" isnt going to keep your gun safe. It is just going to make it take longer to access.

I have a gun safe in my car, but only so I have a place to lock my firearm up when I'm going somewhere I can't legally carry, like a school, federal building or a court house. I use this... http://www.nrastore.com/nrastore/ProductDetail.aspx?p=SA+22665&ct=e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramsey Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 nstg8r, thats exactly why I want one. Also not allowed to carry in the office. Did you install it under a seat or in the trunk? Any pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 If its bolted to the car, its not safe, as the CAR can be taken too:lol: but Ive got the same thing except mine is silver:wub: but I never considered putting it in the trunk of the sedan. I bought it specifically for the SUV/Durango (and OBXT). As long as no one knows its there, a gun in my trunk is just as safe as a gun in a safe in the trunk. If I really wanted to just have it locked up and a hassle to steal I would loop a heavy cable lock in the trunk and just cable lock though the breech. Cable locks don't like to be cut with bolt cutters. You actually need cable cutters. Likely to take longer than a safe to take honestly, just need a little gun blankey.

It's in the trunk with the cable looped through the trunk frame. I'll take a pic for you tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as no one knows its there, a gun in my trunk is just as safe as a gun in a safe in the trunk. The difference is in liability and legality. If your car gets stolen and the gun is NOT secured in a gun safe, you could potentially face both civil and criminal prosecution if the gun is used in the commission of a crime. And in my case, I would definitely face departmental discipline if not dismissal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blklgt05 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Seems like quite a few of you carry your guns with you, that's not legal in CA without a permit. I just carry a stun gun and leave my piece at home. mod journal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to go to the trouble of quoting me and replying at least read my ENTIRE post and reply to it all. I assure you, a heavy cable lock functions just fine as a breech lock. I'm sorry, I should have mentioned leaving it loaded in the car. Since I use a paddle holster, I can take that off and put it in the safe with the gun still in it. In NY, drawing a weapon from a holster is technically illegal to do in public unless you're actually using the weapon to terminate a crime or you are at a pistol range. It's also not safe or wise to do in populated areas like NYC. The only way to leave a gun in the car safely the way you described is if it's a revolver and not a semi-auto.
