In Car Gun Safe??

[Winston72]

What do you do when guys do when you've been shooting and want a pack of whatever on the way home? I've been conjuring with this for a while and now fitted a break down gun safe in my Vehicle, but it looks hideous, just wondered what every body else does?

[Stimo22]

I brought a Napier breakdown gun slip that has a security loop that fits through the trigger guard. You then use a security cable to fix it to the seat brackets making sure that it is out of site. They used to advertise it a lot at one time

[Bobba]

I dry fire mine with snap caps then split it down. Fore grip in glove box, butt behind drivers seat covered in folded blanket, barrel in gunslip in boot.

 

Incidentally, the "pack of" that you stop for. Do the contents come in threes or twenties?

Last time i bought a pack of 3 the guy behind the counter laughed, i didn't understand until i threw them out 4 years later un used

I just shove it out of sight and lock the vehicle.

Fitted a cable lock to my body shell ,carry my bolt with me and use a trigger guard ,everyone ignores car alarms and a stone through the window does any car

Just leave it out of sight in your locked motor .

If you are leaving the car for an hour or less :

 

Park in a nice, open, public area. With good street lighting if at night.

Put gun in boot of car, and make sure gunslip, any cartridges, etc. are out of sight.

Lock car and walk away.

 

There's actually (or used to be) a bit on the subject in the police firearms security handbook.

 

EDIT : Found it. It's a 2005 document, so no idea if it's current or not :

 

PART 7: FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION IN TRANSIT Carriage by Road – Section 1 & 2 Firearms & Ammunition

Private Individuals

7.1 When carrying firearms etc in a vehicle, the following steps are considered to accord with the duty to ensure the safe custody of the items.

Vehicles Left Unattended

7.2 Whenever possible, the vehicle should not be left unattended for long periods.

7.3 Vehicles containing firearms and left unattended for any length of time should ideally have an immobiliser and/or alarm fitted.

7.4 Where possible, they should be parked in a position that would frustrate attempts to enter the vehicle unlawfully. (eg with the boot close to a wall).

7.5 Where possible, they should be parked where they can be overlooked.

7.6 For preference, the firearms should be stored in the locked boot or other secured load carrying area of the vehicle. They should be out of sight from passers-by.

7.7 In the case of estates, hatchbacks and similar vehicles, the certificate holder should ensure that:

a) where fitted, the lid or cover of the load carrying area should be in place, or the firearms are covered and concealed to prevent their identification;

b) if the vehicle is to be left unattended for any length of time, the firearm and ammunition should not be stored together;

c) where the boot or load carrying area is the most practical place, ammunition should be secured in an appropriate container ideally, but not necessarily, secured to the vehicle;

d) where it is practical, the bolt magazine or other operating part should be separated from the firearm and either carried on the person, or kept in a locked container, ideally secured to the vehicle, or concealed elsewhere.

7.8 Where firearms and ammunition are being carried on a journey which involves their being kept away from their usual secure storage, the certificate holder should make arrangements to ensure that they are, so far as is possible, secure. Considerations when firearms are being taken to venues involving overnight or longer accommodation include:

a) obtaining accommodation that already provides secure facilities;

b) separating and retaining possession of integral parts of the firearm, eg the fore-end of a shotgun, bolt of a rifle etc;

c) utilising portable security devices, ie security cords etc.

The master lock python is quite handy for securing things in your car.

[Glenlivet]

I lock mine out of sight in the car, I do fit trigger locks when transporting.

[mossberg-operator]

Using bike cable to secure the gun to the car in the boot. Got anchoring point.
