Situational Awareness. I am certain I was almost robbed.

The Coke cans kept overflowing and the liter bottles are hard to get in position, :uhoh:

Tomorrow I'll tell you how cold water divers warm up their wetsuits!

You're getting all this aren't you Djeeper? Good stuff to know while you're pumping gas on a wouldbe robber with a Zippo lighter and have to take a whiz without putting the fire out.

BTW That's a Bass Pro bag Skid. It holds about a half a gallon before it starts sloshing and pulling on the volume knob on the radio.

I have a lock box built specifically for pistols that I chain (really wire) to a solid part of my Ford Explorer. Since I don't have a trunk I needed some way to unholster, unload, store my firearm before going to my daughters schools. Also while working at customer sites (other than military bases) I could keep a gun in the lock box and not need to carry one. (Need is a bad word since you could get mugged between your house/apt and car but you know what I mean) It still could be stolen if a thief broke into my car with the right tools but will stop the average smash and grab thief. Because of that I keep a Taurus PT145 in it usually such that if it gets stolen I won't mind as much as one of my more expensive guns being taken.

Now I would like to find a lock box big enough to hold my AK pistol and several 30-round magazines. I haven't gotten brave enough to OC the AK pistol even though I know DJEEPER has OC-ed his AR pistol several times. I don't want to give businesses a reason to start banning OC and I fear that the AK pistol would be an in-your-face type statement. I mainly keep it for the SHTF scenarios. I think 30+ rounds of a rifle round coming out of a short barrel will be a good crowd control gun. If they don't run from the sound they will drop where they are at. Pistol rounds are so weak comparatively and I am a fan of Big Guns save lives too.

I'd be interesting in hearing more about how you keep them secure. I'd love to carry my AK in my Jeep on the weekends, though I wouldn't leave it unattended at work.

My Jeep was ransacked a couple of weeks ago in downtown Charlottesville - inside the second floor of a parking garage.

I bought a 12 inch wide center seat replacement console lock box from Tuffy Products for my Silverado and am very happy with it. They make it in 4 widths, 6, 8, 10 & 12 inch wide. They specialize in security boxes for jeep products. They also make a few custom fit console boxes for some SUV’s and several for trucks. Since I bought mine a few years ago they have branched out to make boxes for commercial security company and law enforcement vehicles. The lock on mine is like an automobile door lock (Tuffy's Pry-Guard II). If given enough time someone can break into anything, but it will take them a while and they will have to make noise doing it.

Police officer: "Do you have any weapons in the car, sir?"

Peter Nap: "Is there any particular caliber or type of weapon you're interested in, officer?"

:shocker:

I can completely envision that conversation, going exactly like that... :dude:
