What do you carry in your vehicle?

I keep a 1911 in a rug under the front seat, a Glock 27 in the console, and a Ruger SR22 in the glove box. Often times there's a .357 lever gun behind the back seat as well. It's seldom unattended for long. It's parked in the garage at night and wife has her own car.

On the few occasions I drive it to the big city (i.e., Little Rock), I pull them all out of the truck and just carry whats on my belt.
 
I am a full time student at an institution that refuses to recognize the right of its students to defend themselves by carrying a gun on their person. As I'm often there at odd hours, and the school isn't in the best part of town, I do not wish to be completely unarmed.

For that reason, my S&W 64 is usually handy in my car, although it goes inside with me at night and at other places where I can do so.

In Kentucky, it's legal to keep a gun in any manufacturer-installed compartment in your vehicle regardless of whether or not you have a CCW. Your employer can not fire you for storing a gun in your vehicle on company property.

Fortunately last spring, the Kentucky Supreme Court also ruled that colleges can not legally prevent students or employees from storing a gun in their vehicle.
 
I have a Taurus PT709 on my hip at all times and I have a SW40VE with an extra magazine under the driver's seat in a locked gun safe attached to the seat frame. I unlock the safe before I start the car and lock it after the engine is off. I will let you guess what I am prepared for.
 
I never leave a gun in my car but do have a couple of speed strips w/spare ammo just in case.

Great choice. I'm always headed to a baseball game so a junior aluminum is usually bumping around.
That and bear spray and some knives oh and a machete.
Never leave a gun in the car.
 
If I leave a sidearm in the car, it's in my lockbox in the trunk, and not for long at that. I've heard of some people keeping a 'tool box gun' in their truck. If you're going to do that, I recommend a Hipoint, if it gets stolen, you're out less than $200. I believe it's irresponsible leaving a gun in the car personally, and I'm a hell of alot more concerned about a perp having my gun than I am a perp robbing me of $200.

I recently purchased a 40c but don't want to keep that in my truck in case someone ever broke into it. What do y'all carry in your vehicle that stays there?

Why the Honey Badger of course, she keeps me safe from all danger, I pity the fool who would underestimate the Honey Badger, and she is quite lovely, of course the sweet little K-17, with the pearlescent Ajax pimp grips, backs up those condesending looks of disapproval. The fact that she named it Billy many years ago does bring a slight smirk to my ruggedly handsome face. She really is gorgeous, and not to be messed with, I only smirk when she turns her back.

Question for those who live in states that you can't leave a gun unattended in the car. Is it illegal for someone to break in your car and steal that gun? That's what I would ask the judge...probably wouldn't see it my way. In the meantime, I keep an old Charter Arms .38 Undercover beside me in the truck.
 
Here in Vegas it's legal to have a gun either in plain sight or concealed in the vehicle. I keep a Bulldog 44 sp. within easy reach.
 
My policy when it comes to guns is to trust no car, no neighborhood, no supermarket parking lot, no one...no foolin'. Cars are not gun vaults, and it is the height of irresponsibility to leave a weapon in your car, legal or not.
 
bolted gun-safe in center console, when i get in, it opens and my HK Mk23 sits beside me...when i get home it goes in with me...if i go into a location, it gets relocked...while i'm at work, it's in my desk...
 
I don't leave

a gun in the car but when I'm traveling I keep my M&P 9 in the console. (I don't have a carry permit).
 
Bersa Thunder 9 UC pro. I work in a hospital, so I have to leave it in the car. In a safe of course. I understand the risk, and I don't want to arm a thug, but my option is to leave it or go unarmed for most of my time away from work or home.
 
I have a small gun safe in my car, and if I have to leave a gun in the car (for example, when I take my wife to one of her physical therapy appointments, which is in a hospital) then I lock it in the safe. I realize that it isn't perfect, because nothing is totally foolproof (a thief could steal the entire car!) but it will delay or perhaps stop a smash and grab thief. When I get home, I do not leave a gun in the car, even though it is in an enclosed garage.
 
Backlighting from Vegas is correct, but fails to mention that although Nevada is a 'must-issue' state, there are private establishments who post 'No Firearms Allowed" signs on the doors to their premises. This is a problem for CCW folks who obey such signs. If possible, I will not patronize such locations. Medical offices, where folks may have to undress for exams, often have such signs. I usually take my chances and not carry when going to an MD's office. I will not leave a weapon in a vehicle unattended.
 
I have those gun vaults in my car and truck. The car has a G17. The truck has a G21. meh, Glocks. So what if they get bounced around and scratched up?
