Take for example Fun Ford Weekend. I didn't bring my pistol that day but if I drove a little over an hour only to find out they posted a "No weapons" sign that includes the parking lot, and there's no other place to park nearby, then I'm screwed. It would be nice to lock it up and hide it at the same time. So, the usual storage places like glove box, seat pockets, etc. aren't practical.
No, but I don't want to have to drop her off at the gate because I forgot that I have my gun with me and don't want to chance it.BennyBlown2v said:Whoa, getting a bit serious talking about bringing guns onto a base... Do you REALLY need a gun that bad... I mean c'mon.
Nice. I could keep a "back seat release tool" in the glove box for those special times that I need to pop that thing up.bigcat said:

Same basic idea. 1) Hide it from theft 2) Hide it from random searches, not that I WANT to take a firearm on base but it would suck to have to drive all the way home just to come all the way back because I need to make an unplanned stop on base.bigcat said:check this thread, but the pics are gone now.....

Propeller- I would say for ease of access, rig up some kind of cut out/compartment in the plastic by your knees. It would be some work, but if you can handle a project like that, it would turn out nice.

YAY!!! thats something to look forward too.

Bringing a firearm onto federal property is a big one. I've been through a few of those searches. They just look in all "standard" compartments and sometimes have the drug dogs out there. A hidden compartment would save me.
I thought about doing away with one door speaker or something like that. But that would suck. So I'm still trying to get the creative juices flowing and figure something out.
True. I can just slip the gun into my pocket and if I get tagged for a random vehicle inspection upon entry, they can search the car all they want. No big deal. They never search the people anyway. But slipping the gun into my pocket won't always work. Neither does planning way ahead to avoid any unplanned stops at the base. If I have to stop at the base during normal business hours, I can drive by the gun range, rent their lockers for an hour, go to the base, do my thing, then stop by the gun range on the way out. But, do I really want to do all that every time? What if the gun range is closed? The second benefit is that if someone breaks into my car, I won't be arming a criminal. This is really the bigger reason for all this.Give Me TP said:If you're going on federal property, or anywhere else firearms are expressly prohibited, it's simply your responsibility to not be carrying at those times.
