It's only there when I'm not in the car so it's not accessible to a crook who may have broken in. When I'm in the car going places it's in my holster.

It stays under the seat, tethered to the seat post by a cable. It wouldn't stop a seriously motivated thief, but it keeps the gun inside the vehicle, and makes it much more accessible.

Good suggestion, I may look into this.

Hi,

Just want some criticism/suggestions on how I currently store my firearms. I know many won't agree, it's OK, i'm open to suggestions and a better way.

I have 2 fire arms, a .40 caliber glock which stays in the house and a 9mm subcompact springfield which stays in the car.

My at home firearm sits in the master closet at the very top shelf inside of a CD case bag that's 1/4 way unzipped for easier access in a stressful moment. It has a magazine inside but not loaded. (Wife is very paranoid about having a loaded weapon in the house and we haven't came to an agreement on keeping it loaded) We have a 12 month old so at the point in time, there's no worry of her being able to reach it but she could some day.

In my car, the 9mm is in the trunk but tucked under the trunk mattress. This one is loaded. When I go out, I reach into my trunk, put my holster on and place the gun on me. Problem with this is I'm always paranoid of some kid seeing me and getting ideas of breaking in to my car to steal it. I just look around to make sure no one is watching me before I put it on me.

Please post how you store your firearm at home or in the car also.
