i always have pt140 on me, and sometimes leave it in my console vault. I have always kept a .30 Carbine under the back seat with 4 - 15 rounders. I leave trigger lock (combo type) on it all the time, it's a beater but shoots good, in 20 years, it has never been stolen,

I would probably keep a gun in my car all of the time if I had a quick access gun vault. I have never invested the money. I also have the obstacle of owning a small car with very few places to keep a gun vault/safe.

Yes, and no..

I live out of town,,,, being burglarized at my home is a very remote possibility (about like being hit by lightening twice in one year) I have a gun (and a rifle, with the option of a shotgun) that is dedicated to vehicle carry... they are concealed, locked, and unless you know to look for them,,, your not going to see them, even in a search. They are not for immediate defense use,, thats why I CC. These are back up guns...

I also have a "not in plain view" location for my CC weapon in each vehicle.. but these are not secure, just storage with immediate access if needed. If I have to disarm, I have a gun vault in each vehicle for that.

Don't get too comfortable.

It's a low probability of happening but it's worth knowing about.

Here's a fix for that.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4aJ1VgZ ... re=related" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

No windows in my garage door and that's just one reason there's not. Looks like it would be more difficult if he were blind. I don't have that flimsy vinyl siding either. I realize I'm still somewhat vulnerable there, that's why I don't leave one of my good handguns in the truck.

I too live in a very rural area, there is just no one around here, except for a couple neighbors who are always home.
I took my 27 out of the console yesterday afternoon and man was it hot! I coulda cooked an egg on the slide. I think the best thing to do, for several reasons, is to just bring it in the house whenever I get home. I did get the holster mounted in the console, its Kydex so we'll see how it holds up in the heat.
Now I'm off to do the garage door fix.

Personally, I find it redundant if one is already concealed carrying one (or + BUG).

I don't keep one in the vehicle unless I have to, but will take a rifle (as a truck gun) if I'm hitting the lease or the Rio Grande Valley. Too much risk in not having one...

dedicated G27

$20 mount

I have been considering mounting my extra Glock holster in my covered console and just leaving my 27 in it. Any thoughts?

I keep a RomAK in the trunk 24x7 in case I need more firepower.

I have started placing a 2nd gun (9mm) in the door pocket, loosely covered with a rag, because it is much easier to grab than the J-frame (38) in my front pocket. That means that when I park it somewhere, it is there to steal. I just don't worry about it. I usually bring it back in the house, not because someone may break into the garage, but because I may want to use it in the house. I have a third one in the nightstand, though (357). All stay chamber loaded.
