In CA, storage and transport laws are oppressive. Probably not a good practice here. But at least AZ is a free state. You need to work to keep it that way.

I have been given some (feces) about having a gun in my glove box...! So to not to create a distraction from other threads.. I think it's better to have it's own thread...

So how many here keep a Gun in their LC on a daily bases?

In good humor... and tolerance.... Let the (feces) fly!!! There is no right and wrong.... Just opinions... (ie feces)...

Man, a downvote from the only guy in Idaho without a handgun..

Personally I would not carry a handgun in a vehicle outside of a gun safe. Plus I'm sure there's a Toyota sticker somewhere forbidding handguns in the glovebox.

I only own long guns and only drive with them when I am going hunting or skeet shooting. I may try to find an aftermarket rack for the back storage area, as generally I travel with soft sided cases. Since I don’t own any handguns, nothing that fits in the glove box. I also have kids though, so I wouldn’t do that anyway.

Have always had a hard time imagining any situation where I would prefer a handgun to a long gun anyway. Give me a shot gun if it’s a matter of self defense, my hunting rifle for everything else.

I have considered getting a judge, but that’s because it’s pretty snakey where we hunt and I don’t want the dogs messing with rattlers.

Yes I agree about a shotgun. But that’s usually in a home defense situation or anywhere there is sufficient space to access it and bring it on target. Usually standing. Sitting within or exiting a vehicle that can definitely be tricky with a long gun whereas a pistol can be brought on target, even drawn while exiting, all very quickly with multiple accurate shoots. e.g. a national competitor can exit a car draw a pistol and fire multiple x’ s at a target 20 yards away in less than 1 second.

That’s true, but if I need to draw a gun while exiting I’m 1000% more likely to stay in my seat and accelerate away!

I’m a concealed carry permit holder and shoot in matches frequently. Drive around with a lot of guns and ammo. One would never “keep a gun in your LC”. Like store it there if that’s what you mean. If you carry a pistol the pistol would either be in a safe and secure location within the vehicle or on your body or pocket etc in a holster all while you are in and/or driving the vehicle. If you have to leave the vehicle to enter a location prohibiting firearms the gun needs to be secured in the vehicle in e.g. a console safe or back seat safe. If you are going somewhere where concealed carry is not possible or legal you leave your firearms at home. Of course there is no point having a loaded firearm and it not being accessible if needed. As for the glove box, I would never store a gun there the muzzle is either pointed at you or the car next to you. You might consider a holster mount under the drivers seat with muzzle pointed downward.

Being hit by space debris while driving is higher probability event

Glad I satrted this thread.... as it may be important for different states and laws

I keep my gun in the glove box cold... if you shoot matches you know what that means.... And you stated... "Of course there is no point having a loaded firearm and it not being accessible if needed."

You made my point!

I keep my gun in a locked car... I'm not going to risk my and my families security on the risk some one will break in and steal it and kill some one later... If that is the case then if some one breaks in to your car steals it and has a accident and kills someone later ... some how it's on you... I don't think so!

I’m not saying you do it, you have the option of doing it if the situation warrants it. You always choose the non-confrontational option if available.
