While Indiana is fairly permissive regarding where you can legally carry a gun, there are still some locations where carrying is prohibited. Therefore, you have to ditch your gun in the car. There are, coincidentally, products designed specifically for this.

In general, keeping guns in the car is not the best idea unless they are locked in a compartment that is secured to the vehicle body. People get lazy and leave them in glove boxes and center consoles where an opportunistic person doing a quick raid on an unattended and unlocked car can easily find them. Back when I was an auto tech, there were a few occasions where I found loaded guns in cars that the customer did NOT think to warn me about. At the very least, if you do keep a firearm in the car, it is imperative to keep the car locked.

The "truck gun" concept is widely derided in the gun community for exactly this reason. Don't keep anything in the car that you spent real money on. But some people subscribe to the cult of "quick access" and freak out if they don't have a pistol at instantaneous arm's reach at all times. These are the people whose toddlers grab loaded guns out of unlocked drawers and glove boxes. Incidentally, in Indiana if a child gets ahold of an improperly stored handgun, you can be held legally responsible for what happens. The same is not true of regular theft.

If I lived further out in the country, I'd be all about keeping a long gun in the car. Which, coincidentally, they also make secure storage for. Control access to your firearms, people. It's really not that hard. Do you really want to see your tricked out Glock on the evening news because you didn't want to spend a couple bucks on a lockbox? No.

TL;DR: It's because people are stupid and careless.

By the way, I like bulldog safes better than gunvault. I usually have tools in my vehicle somewhere and I've seen people on youtube break into their sentry safe with a flathead and about 2 minutes. The bulldogs are locked into a mounting bracket (whether you choose to mount it or not) that wraps around the safe, so you turn the key and the safe is released from the case, turn the key again and the safe opens. At the same price as the gunvault, the only thing it costs you is a slight amount of convenience. For me, my $600 gun is worth an extra flick of the wrist. It isn't impenetrable, but it greatly increases the difficulty of breaking in.

If you're securing against smash and grab, you could get away with cable tied.

If youre securing against non professional thief or building security or anyone with basic tools, stay away from cable tied.

Bulldog mounted with nut and bolt with a replacement abloy lock cylinder would be quite formidable, as far as car lockboxes can be.

This is the lock box I bought myself. A cable can be cut pretty easily. This box has a cable AND a cage that you can bolt down to the car under your seat, and if you slide the box in with the lip facing down, there's no way to pry it open.

I wouldn't get someone a holster unless I knew what holster they wanted because it's a personal preference. I asked my brother if he wanted my old holster a few days ago and he declined and said he'd "never really carry like that".

Bulldog's have the cable option, or the bracket. Here is an example of what i'm talking about:

I have a couple of those, in two different sizes. When properly inserted into the bracket, you can not remove it without either spending a lot of time cutting the bracket, or with the key, as the lock actually has a part that secures it to the bracket.

Lock boxes are awesome.

I'll find myself out carrying at night downtown and find that they're really good if, for example, I'm with friends and we decide we want to go to a bar, or I'm at a concert that wands you down or something.

This is what I have. I wanted the beefiest, no bullshit safe that Andrew Jackson can afford. Note that I got mine specifically knowing that all safes/locks are not unbeatable, but that this one specifically would be a real pain in the ass and a time sink to get out of my car when used properly, especially when comparing the competition.

It's bolted under my driver's seat, and the locking mechanism attaches to the bolted down frame with a steel cable wrapped around part of the seat. In this case, you do get what you pay for. The steel, while very sturdy, and when mounted under my seat makes it hard to get to and defeat, I think would still give way with enough patience and heavy beatings with a heavy hammer or prybar. The steel cable is kind of thin and mounted very haphazardly to the safe. The key/lock mechanism also leaves a lot to be desired.

I plan on finding a more secure, harder to cut cable to mount to it and replacing the cylinder lock with one that's harder to defeat or pick.

I've had my car broken into twice. First time was a smash and grab, window broken and they took my gym bag out of it. They didn't even notice anything else in the car. Second time I swear I locked my car, but they got in anyway (entirely possible I forgot). They through all my stuff, glove box, center console etc. The safe wasn't tampered with. I do not know if it was even noticed.

This seems pretty nice. It is affordable, and the mounting mechanisms seem pretty versatile. From the reviews, it seems like a G19 is about the biggest gun that will fit, so take that into consideration.

I don't have any personal experience with this, but I can't imagine you'd really need much more in a car safe.

u/bigbossman90 · 1 pointr/CCW

I use this.

Very solidly built. Plus it comes with a cable you can use along with or instead of the bracket.
