If you carry a concealed weapon in your corvette, I found a great way to secure it.

Most of you are missing the gist of the post, this isn't to secure a firearm while in the vehicle driving, it is to secure it while he goes to places that it is prohibited to carry one. Sometimes, for example you are going to court, or a Police station, a sporting event, a School....
Sec. 2923.241 (I) of the law states it “does not apply to a box, safe, container, or other item added to a vehicle for the purpose of securing valuables, electronics, or firearms,” as long as said container “does not contain a controlled substance or visible residue of a controlled substance.”

Crime happens in nice areas as well a few years ago there was a Car Jacking at one of the nicest malls in NJ. Sadly getting a CCW in NJ is near impossible.

timely post. I just took and passd my online class that qualifies me to get a concealed carry permit. The "class" was a joke; more of another $20 tax to carry concealed. So another $50 and i guess i'll be good.
Personally i would rather carry in the center console or the door. I don't want to have to depend on anything with a lock of any type opening if i need the gun. I've got a ruger lcp .380 and it's small enough to go anywhere. My 2 cents.

One in every five people in Texas is carrying. The more good guys and gals that are packing...the lower the odds that the bad guys will want to use theirs.
S&W 357 bodyguard in the console, S&W 380 in ankle holster, my lady carries a S&W 40 Auto if I need backup

We need to Carry ask these people how it works!
Our vettes are pretty limited in terms of storage space.
Recently I checked into having a compartment built to hide a concealed weapon, it was cool, it opened from the key fob or a phone app, with a little electric motor,the downside was the price was $3.000. The guys works on lots of vettes but thats too much $$$$
I ordered a small safe, 10"L. x 7"W. X 2 1/2"D. $350, i wrapped it in SCOTCHPRINT Personalized Vehicle Graphics - On Demand Carbon FiberTextured material. The exact same material my 2008 C6, hood, targa top, halo, mirrors and spoiler are wrapped with. The material was left over from the vette wrap day.
The beauty of this safe is it opens with your finger or thumbprint !!!!
You program it, like any login procedure to identify the finger, yours, your wife, etc. It has batteries inside but if they fail, there is a transformer that plugs in thru a small hole in the case and a key lock,(the depressed area below the fingerprint reader is where the key lock is).
There are four holes visible when you open it and that is how you secure it to the interior, I mounted mine behind the passenger seat, any flat surface will do.
. It holds my Glock 29, a spare clip, my concealed weapon permit, my wallet and phone,(the Glock is a subcompact so theres lots of room).
I have always searched for a better place to put my gun when Im going into the post office, grocery store, BANK, etc.
If carrying a handgun is legal where you live, great way to secure it in your vette.

If we want to go thru what others have keep giving in to the government and it is not an option!

I'm a retired federal LEO. Although it's been nearly a year since I updated it (been unsettled, moving around) I run a website and blog.
Here's a link to a blog post that might interest a few of the non-gunnies here.
