One of the greatest rights we have is the ability to own and SAFELY enjoy firearms. I post this topic to see what all mods people have made to their Jeeps in order to safely store their firearm(s) while driving.
Concealed Carry

I wear mine in an appendix holster. No need to remove or store while driving. That way when I exit the Jeep it is always on me.

I live in a state where you can carry without a permit. I never leave home without it. I just wear it on my hip
We can open carry here too but some stores and restaurants post no guns. So I figure what they don't know wont hurt them and could possibly save them one day.
Yep - here in Texas too. If they post they don't allow concealed carry either I turn around and keep going to support other businesses that do.

I thought about using the best top under seat drawer for storage while driving but I dont know anybody else with the fold and tumble seats that could let me know how well a Ruger SR9 would fit.
I prefere to frequent establishments that do not care if I carry, out side of govt. buildings...they can be a lil bitchy if you ask them to check your weapon while in there.

Had to spend the night in the hospital other day with my wife. Had to park in a parking deck in Atlanta. Wasn't about to leave gun in vehicle much less walk around a parking deck in ATL without my CC.

Here we conceal carry legally without a permit. Idaho just passed a law to allow the same thing.

Amen to not leaving it in a parking garage. I was going to the Great American Outdoor show but had to go renew my carry permit first, wasn't gonna leave mine in the console or glove box. So I had to leave it home.
Tuffy under seat lock box. Registration and other papers go in it. It will fit two 1911's and spare mags, but not a 1911 and a Redhawk. I don't concealed carry, I open carry. Cross draw in a nice leather holster. 99% of the time its a total non-issue, and the other 1% is entertaining. Yes, I can be an asshole at times.
I park in the garage at all times when I'm not out driving it.
But if we go somewhere and I have guns in the back, I am only carrying them with the intent of using them (i.e. going to a firing range our out in the woods). That being said, I'd never just park it outside with guns in the back, not a chance.
I'm with you. I did install an Bestop under the seat lock box on the chance that I may have to leave it in the Jeep. Haven't had to use it yet but no way I would leave my CC just locked in glove box or console.

Once upon a time I had to use mine. If it would of been anywhere that I would had to reach behind or open something to get it I wouldn't be here or maybe I would be but would of eaten lead.
Unfortunately, the part of California that I'm in is really bad about conceal/carry - but when I go up into the mountains - especially my Colorado trips, I open carry *all the time* - usually just a hip holster when I'm out of the Jeep, and when I'm in the Jeep, I keep the passenger seatbelt buckled up with the holster attached to it.
You never know when you might accidentally come across someone's meth lab etc. when you're in the hills - and they tend not to be too happy about being found!
