I carry with me either a H&K P2000, a Glock 17 or a Glock 26 but I never leave it in the car. It goes in the car ONLY when I go in it too...

BTW...I have seen pictures in the past (can't remember the website) to where there's a factory mod (YES, through MB)to acomodate an MP5 on the rear seat. Do anyone here knows of a link to these pictures or mod?

For hunting: the shotguns are locked, in their cases, on the backseat covered with a blanket. Ammo is locked in lockbox in the trunk.

Jeweler? Wealthy? Want to protect yourself? Plenty of reasons, but the most important one: because I want to.

Ask Sarah Palin, I am sure she can help you where to put your firearms.

It's not a problem at all! I have a concealed carry license (in the USA, of course) -- those of us who carry have at least one reason to do so, probably more.

I don't use a mount either, but have considered getting a console safe to keep my pistol in when I'm going into a bank, gov't bldg, etc. Otherwise, I just keep it holstered. I have seen a couple of vehicle mounts out there that look okay, but would hesitate to put them in my Benz. I might consider 'em for my Jeep, though. Sorry, I can't remember the names right now...

One option is to just mount a thumb snap holster somewhere within reach. You could use some of that industrial self-adhesive velcro and it would be removable.

(As an aside, if you can't find something gun-related through mouseguns.com, it probably doesn't exist... )

Folks, if you don't understand why some of us carry weapons, that's okay. I don't understand why you DON'T carry a weapon. We're not gonna change each others' minds here, but the OP's question is legitimate.

I'm going to look into the console safe. If I find anything good, I'll let you guys know...

No matter whats the reason is , none should carry firearms . Leave them at home. Its a danger right there to carry them in the first place. Stop playing with people lives. Saying i carry firearm as I want to defines how ignorant one is.

I'm happy that you feel as ignorantly bliss as you do. I really am. I never even owned a handgun until I started working in the prison system. Now I never go anywhere in the USA without one. I truly hope that you will remain as ignorant of the real world as you are now. I hope that you will never encounter any of my former clients. If you ever do encounter one of my former clients, I hope you live to silently apologize and thank God.

Please continue to live your lives peacefully and unaware of the world around you. I'm totally sincere in saying this. I wish you all nothing but peace and happiness.

btw, I would let anyone have my car before I would shoot them. That's not why I carry. You can have anything I own. Just don't threaten my family.

This post became stupid quickly. OP asked where people store firearms. If you don't- we don't care. Keep your moral judgments to yourself. Some of us are required to carry firearms and if comes down to the my life or a loved ones versus a violent criminal- I don't believe that takes a lot of thought. I don't carry for the fun of it or to be a macho a$$hole- it comes with the job. Sorry if that disappoints, but someone needs to protect you.
