On my truck there is a panel on the dash that is held in by clips and is easily removed.
I fashioned a tray-box from thin copper sheet and installed the box in the cavity behind the panel.
A small to medium frame pistol fits very nice. Then I replace the panel without snapping the locks back into place.
Great for travel.
It will accommodate an extra mag as well.

No it doesn't:

Reading is fundamental for both you an what-his-name:

1.  OP clarified that he is worried about his own security guards finding his firearm.

2.  I didn't say I don't hide my weapon(s), what I said was I don't care if a $400 or $500 firearm gets stolen.  Exactly how does that contribute to firearms getting in the hands of bad guys?  I care about it ending up in bad guy hands but there's nothing you are going to do to (i.e. hide it well enough) to prevent that.

Look up car hides. You can probably find videos about them or even LEO training material via google on smugglers using them to get some ideas. Basically all cars have spots that would make a great hiding space and with some ingenuity are accessible. In the monthly newsletters I got during my short time as a LEO they often listed popular ones in common vehicles. For example many times the center console storage tray can be popped out and has a large void underneath. Hell I've read about ones where they rigged secret hydraulic opening compartments that only opened if you hit a certain combo of controls simultaneously random made up example down window button and hazard signal. Course that would probably be pretty labor intensive but James Bond level awesome.

Alternatively can you park offsite? Fed govs bitchy about weapons on site but I've worked at FBI, and USCG sites where they just told those who carried to park outside the fence. It's still on the survelliance cameras so no one would screw with it either. Of course the feasibility of that entirely depends on the local traffic/parking climate and the nature of the facilities layout.

I apologize for any glaring typos as I wrote this via phone.

this got me thinking, I have to have mine" double locked" (DOOR LOCKS COUNT AS ONE) per the main employer, I have a contract employee badge.
I am going to look at the hole in the back of my g21 grip and see about just putting a 6-7 foot cable through it or a small TSA pad lock and then locking the end of the cable to the frame of the car seat.

it is" locked" but accessible

I can always carry another in the locked glove compartment to have one to go.

I am going to look at the actual memo tomorrow to see the language.

Aren't there also some states with "hidden compartment" laws that originated with drug-enforcement but could be applied?   There was a thread on it year or two back...Ohio or Michigan or somesuch.

Nosy Security Guard is going to look under your seat if they are searching for items.  You could use a lock box however dependent on your employment agreement it could also be searched.  Not a lot of good options for your situation.

Look for a panel that pops on and off with no tools.

There is more than enough space behind many of them.

It is not a quick access solution, but nobody is ever stumbling upon it.

Also, check your glovebox.  Many open to a set of stops, but by squeezing them, the glove box opens much further for removal.  There is often plenty of space in there for you.

Concealment and utility (access) oppose each other.   Deep concealment is one thing.   But even having a weapon in a locked box under the seat is going to be difficult to get to in a hurry if you need it... and it is easy to identify by thieves.   Apart from responsibility to try to prevent weapons from falling into the wrong hands, is the value of the weapon more than the cost to repair your vehicle interior when thieves get frustrated and go apeshit on the seats/dash/glass?

Guys,


"Hiding" is not the answer.  Most of these "no guns" companies are utilizing dogs now.  Several companies offer the search dog services.  These dogs can sniff out a single round of .22 short from outside a locked vehicle. (Not to mention a bottle of pills or a roach in the ashtray.)   The dog hits on a vehicle, you are brought out and asked to unlock your vehicle for search,  or you are fired on the spot for refusal.  


Glad Texas finally passed laws to protect us from that crap here.

Scatter spent pistol rounds in every compartment and pocket you can find.





Giggle when the dog goes insane and can't focus on a damn thing when your car is opened up.





Bonus points for planting a few in your wheel wells, tail pipe, under the hood...

I sorta like the flat rate box idea.    Maybe add some letters too.   Put it inside something, like a Bible.   Use a small, light gun, so it seems normal.  

Maybe you could hide it inside an old VCR, or Computer.  Stuff you are planning to drop off at GoodWill.     Rig it so it can only be opened by you.

The dogs I've had search my vehicle usually suck.... in high school, I ALWAYS had ammo in my vehicle And only got hit about a four or five times out of probably 25 searches they did (10 per year but only 5 senior year I think). They don't hit on centerfire ammo in my experience.  Shotgun shells and rimfire, oh yeah but not centerfire.

I'd just do like the other guy said, pack it in the box, tape it up, then douse it in cologne

You've never given one a hard tug have you? Trust me they are far less secure then you think. If your ever at a junkyard and have the chance to lock one and pull it like you don't give a crud if it broke cause it wasn't your car (much like a thief would not care about your car) you will find very few hold up to more then a few hard pulls.

That law got USAA off our ass.  That was the only thing that sucked about working there.

 




Can you explain the connection to USAA?  I have USAA but apparently am unaware of what you are referring to.  





Yes.  I used to work at the USAA home office in San Antonio, and at the time employees were forbidden to carry a weapon on USAA secured property (USAA's campus is completely enclosed by a 8' or 10' fence that keeps the general public out).  Until the car carry law passed (which USAA opposed) in 2011 it was a fireable offense to have a firearm in your car in the parking lot (and obviously forbidden on your person).  USAA has their own armed security force and checkpoints at all entrances that check IDs (similar to military bases).  They also would occasionally had dogs patrol the parking lot looking for drugs (and presumably weapons) in vehicles owned by employees.  After the car carry law passed in 2011 employees are now able to carry a gun in their car without worry of getting fired.



For some reason USAA is opposed to employees having guns in their vehicles.  I know that the car carry law is a bit different in Arizona and when I went out there for work a few years ago (2012) I was required to check my pistol with a security guard in a building that was completely separated from the main office.  Basically, I had to tell the guard at the checkpoint I had a pistol, then he instructed me to drive to this storage building where another guard met me and escorted me in.  Inside that building I showed my work ID and checked my pistol.  Upon leaving that day I had to go to the storage building, use the intercom to get a guard to show up, wait 15 minutes for him to get there, show my ID again, and then collect my pistol and be on my way.  It was a real pain in the ass.  



I love USAA and use them for all financial and insurance purposes, but I have their anti-employee-gun in the car on campus policy.

I have a stout lockbox, just big enough. It has a stout handle. through the handle goes a stout chain. It is secured under the seat through the frame, by a stout lock, so that it can barely be reached. Can't get a bolt cutter in there. only way to get it is to open the lock, with the key. Whole outfit cost me about twenty bucks.

Stoutness, for the win. It's quick, too. Gun goes in, box locked, shoved under seat, lock through chain.

Two ways it comes back out: 1. Key 2. Cutting torch

If his location is anything like mine, then yes. Government facitlity. They do random vehicle searches at the main gate coming in and out and they do 100% checks when you exit the "Limited" area. They aren't looking for shit you bring in, only what you may take out. They make rockets and explosives where I work.

For the people talking about switching employers, yeah, I'll get right on that. I have a good job that pays well. I don't know if I could find another that paid what I make and that I enjoy as much as I do. If that means I have to go to and from work without a gun, well, so be it. But that is why a few of us are looking for alternatives in concealment.

And the few that lack the ability to read, this isn't about leaving a vehicle in a car stored. This isn't about protecting my shit from robery or theft. It's about concealment.

I worked in a federal facility for almost 24 years. To those that do not seem to be able to grasp, I chose to  forgo my rights in order to bring home a good paycheck and take care of my family. It sucked, and I did not like it. What is worse is that I wore a uniform, which would clearly indicate to the interested that I was unarmed.
The payoff is that I was able to retire at 57. I still do not agree with the policy and I no longer have to deal with it. On a cost/benefit basis, I have done well, but every story doesn't have a happy ending.

I think OP said he had a wagon. If so, there is fairly convenient access to the rear. Build a small subwoofer box with a cheap sub, you don't even have to wire it completely wire it up, but I would run cables under the carpet to complete the effect (or if you want it to work get a better than cheap sub). I would make it where one panel could come off easily, think like a magnetic latch on in a kitchen cabinet. I would screw or glue some velcro straps or holster inside so your pistol won't slide around. You could do it for an 8" sub and it wouldn't take up too much room. If you make it nonworking you can always say the speaker or amp is blown.

If you like the idea, here's a link for cheap parts.

Sorry, but that's retarded to say and irresponsible gun ownership. It isn't about how easily it is to replace it, it's about keeping out of the hands of a thief and off the street.

There are lock boxes that can be tether to the seat frame. Locked in care, locked in the box with a short cable that will barely come out from the seat. It'll protect against a smash and grab, hidden from plain sight, and doesn't look like a "gun" safe either.

OMG Sarah Brady. It's a pistol not a nuke. You can go buy one any where, any day.
