If you travel with firearms in your vehicle, you could be at risk.

Thugs and thieves are always watching others and looking for an opportunity, as a friend of mine discovered.

His car was in the open parking lot of a popular restaurant with cars and customers frequently passing by.

Storing a gun in a car

It was a bright sunny day as he returned from the shooting range and was meeting friends for lunch.

He never considered a break-in, and he had done this numerous times before.

The incident occurred in a popular and safe neighborhood.

His stolen firearms were never recovered.

Secure those firearms and then conceal the containers or locking systems so passerbys do not see an opportunity.

You dont want your $2,000 1911 pistol sliding around inside a metal box as you drive.

There are several sources for these and most gun stores have them for long guns and handguns.

Cover Up Everything

Next, always conceal safes and storage systems inside the vehicle from prying eyes.

Always cover the safe or cable and tint your vehicles windows when possible and legal.

These tell passersby there is probably a firearm inside and an opportunity.

Unfortunately, criminals can read.

If possible, also consider a vehicle alarm system and always park in a well-lit area.

If you are out and do hear a vehicle alarm, always stop to observe and note anyone running.

Take the steps to prevent thefts of firearms from vehicles.
