My truck is a 350 utility bed so I have lots of places to put a firearm if I have to leave it. I keep an "M" style SKS with extra mags behind the seat.
What if you were leaving the state fair and rioters were pulling people out of their cars and beating them? That is the time that you need an AR behind the seat that you can grab without opening the door.
That's funny. Should make for an excellent headline to aid the liberal agenda:
"Protest at County Fair Turns Deadly When Armed Man Fires into Crowd in 'Self Defense'."
Bottom line here is if you have the ability to retrieve a gun from your vehicle, you could have driven off in it too. Whether you start out in your car or not is irrelevant.
A handgun in the center consol is also easier to get to than one in your waistband.
I realize most politicians are afraid of seeing holstered handguns so you cannot carry openly, though
My sarcasm went undetected, and I'll admit fault for that.What I find funny is making a potentially life or death decision based on how a liberal paper may spin the story when you defend yourself. If you are that worried about that you may as well sell your firearms
If you carry on your person, which is undoubtedly the most responsible way to carry, you don't need to keep any firearm in your vehicle.
In my case this wasn't an option. Neither my employer nor the property owner where I worked allowed firearms on your person nor in your vehicle while at work. I commuted 90 miles round trip at night through the worst suburbs of Birmingham. It was either leave my gun in my truck(discreetly) or leave it at home. What works for you or seems reasonable to you just won't work for everyone.If you carry on your person, which is undoubtedly the most responsible way to carry, you don't need to keep any firearm in your vehicle.
Ditto ... sometimes the opportunity presents itself unexpectedly!My truck gun(s) are there simply to have something available if I want to sneak away from the office for a little stress relief at the range. Right now it's an S&W MP15-22, but that changes up every now and then.
