A proper storage solution for a firearm in a vehicle can be as varied as the people who use them. However, many of us must go to gun free areas such as schools, post offices or government buildings which can require us to disarm before entering. Many simply stow their firearm in the glove box or console – the first place a thief will look – others exit the vehicle and place their firearm in their trunk, drawing attention. Instead, let’s look at some better solutions for vehicle storage.
Employment:Some people have jobs and employers that welcome employees to carry a firearm on the job, but this is often not the norm. As a result, many employees choose to leave their firearms in their vehicle. Most colleges also are gun free zones and do not allow faculty or students to carry on campus.
Legality:Not only do you need to know the laws regarding when and where you can carry, but you must also know the laws regarding firearms in a vehicle. For the purposes of this article I will suggest that you consult your local laws. Also consider the impact of what and where a CPL or CCW permit will allow you to carry and restrictions related to your vehicle. It is important to consult credible sources for this information. In some states, laws may be confusing. This is especially true in regards to carrying rifles or shotguns in vehicles, whether they can be loaded, and a host of other topics. For questions of this nature I recommend consulting a lawyer who is well versed in laws regarding firearms. This will provide the best understanding of what is allowed and how the law has been enforced.
Vaults:Some may want to be able to be able to store a single pistol while some may want to secure a rifle or other sensitive items. While many options exist for storing firearms in vehicles, vaults seem to be one of the more secure options. For those looking for a small vault with easier access, a console vault might provide a good option.
Need More Space?Some travel and want to be able to have access to a long gun while others might take courses frequently. A small handgun vault will not provide the necessary room for a rifle or other large sensitive items. Some vaults are designed for rear seats and provide more space.
