Under the air cleaner cover.

The question is how quick would you want to be able to get to it?

Posted: 10/5/2014 6:13:46 PM EDT

[#4]

Glove box, console or secure it under the driver's seat.

Inside the valve cover or in the oil pan. They will never look there.

That simple.....

Made the mistake of leaving my G27 in my car. Some piece of shit stole it. My fault

Inside the steering column...

Hide it in your prison purse.

For all the people pooh-poohing the idea, you do know there are states where carrying a gun concealed in your car is legal, correct?

Posted: 10/5/2014 6:23:37 PM EDT

[#14]

Inside a tire.

When I have to leave mine in the car;

Won't stop a well prepared thief, but safes it from inquisitive children and snatch & grabs.

Posted: 10/5/2014 6:27:19 PM EDT

[#16]

In the console, in the door map holder behind a map, between seat and console...

Pretty much anywhere that is out of ordinary observation will do here. It only has to remain concealed in the car until I get out of the car, at which time it goes with me.

Why not just stick it in the glove box or console? My truck has a locking glove box, and the bottom seat cushion in the middle of the 40/20/40 front split bench is also a locking storage compartment. I keep a 4566 in the center console, when I leave the truck it either gets locked in the lower storage compartment or it comes with me.

Open glove box. Remove glove box. There has always been plenty of space for additional items there.

If you can't figure out how to remove, a knife might be more up your alley.

YMMV

No it was the thiefs fault. You had your property secured in your vehicle.

Put it in your ham wallet.

Holster in your pants?

Posted: 10/5/2014 6:46:51 PM EDT

[#22]

Just put it in your pocket.

If you get caught with it, you just tell them that they aren't your pants.

They can't prove that they're yours so then they can't prove that you knew about the gun.

Posted: 10/5/2014 6:47:34 PM EDT

Put in anywhere that you don't keep your registration, and you should be fine.

Unlocked center console right next to me. I want it easily accessible...and I can literally have it in my hand pointing in 2 seconds.

Posted: 10/5/2014 7:02:37 PM EDT

[#25]

Under the drivers seat. Reasonably accessible and hidden enough that a thief would pass over the spot if you happened to leave it in your car.

Just a guess, but you didn't lock the car. Right?

Can you own a handgun there?

Posted: 10/5/2014 7:21:59 PM EDT

[#28]

Under the rear seat. Police never look there.

Gut an old shitty 8 track player and stash it inside.

Posted: 10/5/2014 7:38:21 PM EDT

In a McDonald's bag with a couple of cheeseburger wrappers on top of it.
In the seat next to you. Second best , find a slightly soiled lunch cooler and drop it in with a few sandwich bags.
Most use some sort of frozen ice block to keep the sammich cool.
So it's not uncommon to pick one up and find it has some heft.

take the radio out and gut the inside and just keep the display. now you have a hiding spot until someone steals the radio

thanks for all the amusing answers.
I need to stow it where I can get to it in a hurry if the need arises.

on this car there is no under the seat, no pocket in the door, the console is about the only option

This. That is what it is for. Just lock it up.

Get a lefthanded kydex OWB holster. Remove the insert from your console so you can reach down inside it. Mount holster to the left of the console between console and seat with screws formerly used to hold belt or paddle to holster.

ETA: then reinstall console insert. I did this with a leather holster I made to hold a variety of guns.

That's the first place they check. Then the center console and last the glove box.

Genius. Most criminals will not know what they are seeing, let alone check for a gun inside.

Just drive with it in your hand.

Or stick it in the sun visor and wear a helmet.

Inside the combustion chamber, no one ever looks in there.

In the flux capacitor, where McFly will never find it...

OP has taken suggestions and ruled many of them out, anally is the only one he hasn't IIRC so I guess go with that one.

Keister stashing is the only option...

Seriously though, mine is just in the center console.

If not in NY, should fit in a Super Big Gulp

The oil pan is good, it will prevent rust also.

unfortunately, finding a good hiding place or a place to secure some sort of a locking device can be difficult. The best place is a holster on your belt while wearing it, but sometimes you just can't wear your gun, like at work.
