Where do you keep your pistol?

I think you will be seeing more laws passed where you will be held responsible for guns stolen from vehicles. In my own personal opinion it is irresponsible to leave a gun unattended in a vehicle. It only takes seconds to rummage through a car or steal it. If you are carrying, carry and leave the valuables at home. You know you own pretty much the most unsecured vehicle on the road.

Of course, if you own a Snap On screwdriver, by all means buy a locking safe to put it in. Buy your side arm a nice holter and tuck it in.

I think a tuffy box is pretty secure from rummaging.

I like the way it becomes my fault if someone breaks into my car and steals a gun that was locked up. The criminal here is the person that broke into a car that did not belong to them and then take property that did not belong to them, let's stop making the owner of the car the criminal. If I have my gun locked up in some type of locked box and my car gets broken into and my gun stolen, I am going to report this to the police and most likely in CA I am going to get charged with sometime of crime for my gun being stolen. The criminal here is the guy that broke into my car and let's not forget that, and stop pushing the blame to car owner.

Couldn’t have said it better

I do not disagree with you at all. In a perfect world the their would be the criminal, not the victim. CA, NY, IL, MA, VT are all states yhat seem to mix up who the criminal and the victim. Some states already have laws that make the gun owner responsible for the theft of their firearms.

It is a sad state of affairs today, but it seems as though the tide might be turning.

Yeah, that was what I was trying to point out in my post above. Lock your vehicle, same as locking your house, so why would / should you be held responsible for criminal actions resulting from breaking into your vehicle/dwelling and stealing your property, then committing another crime with your stolen possessions? How does this make you criminally liable?
 
It’s nice when people don’t blame the rape victim for their short skirt.

Is this to short

I keep mine in a quick-access safe between the seats for easy reach but out of sight. It's got a simplex lock, so no worries about dead batteries. If I'm leaving the Jeep for a longer period, I move it to a more secure, bolted-down lockbox under the seat. If you're also thinking about securing firearms at home, it's a good idea to buy home safe for added protection.

I have the small Tuffy box for the flip seat. I can fit a Glock 21 45 ACP with an extra mag - but just barely.

View attachment 239610

Tuffy only sells a version for the driver’s side, but it fits fine on the passenger side. I have one there as well.

@Nashville Did you have to remove the factory jack to make it fit on the passenger side?

I don’t run the factory jack, but it would not have to be removed to install the Tuffy box - the one designed for the fold and tumble seat, that is. I have a first aid kit sitting in the factory jack mount.
