Default Re: Built in Pistol Locker

I wouldn't feel comfortable if anyone knew it was there, or over night, but when I am traveling, its a good place to keep ammo, guns, etc. And I would never leave a gun in there while wheeling, end up all over the place or with me getting shot in the back when I hit a bump.

Short of welding a lock box to the frame, no matter where you put it, if someone knows its there they can get it. If you mounted a lockbox in the same place, you could pop the lock box out with a screwdriver as well. So if you ABSOLUTELY dont want a gun stolen out of your car, then dont have one in there. But i think this makes a nice deterent, for having a gun with me when my kid is in the car, keeps prying eyes and fingers away, but lets be honest if someone is bound and determined to get something out of your car, they are going too.

This was never intended as long term storage, and I installed locks on both sides, just to keep people out of things I dont want them into, the foam cradle for the pistols slides right out, and isnt glued in.

In short this is to store firearms when I am with them, not leave them unattended. But anonymity is the best defense if you didnt know they were there you wouldnt look for them.
