Where I live, if I get caught carrying a weapon in a building where it's posted that you are legally not allowed to carry, it's a class C misdemeanor, fine maximum is $200. Basically the same as a speeding ticket.

As my license to carry instructor told us: would you rather need it and not have it, or have it and possibly pay a fine equivalent to a speeding ticket?

How many of you have broken the speed limit more than a few times in your life if not on a daily basis?

I sincerely DGAF if you agreed with my view points or not, just gets old trying to "defend" our rights as red blooded Americans to defend what belongs to us, and protect our families. Btw... If you think this post is triggered, well that proves my point! Now argue away Canada... Eh?!?!?!??!

My suggestion is to not mount or leave a firearm in a vehicle at all. Doing so risks forgetting it is there - consider the sadly frequent stories of people with forgotten firearms in carry-on bags who encounter predictable difficulties at airport security checkpoints.

Unattended firearms may be accidentally found by other drivers and passengers or, if visible, by passers-by, and are vulnerable to theft if a vehicle suffers a break-in or is stolen.

Few, if any, civilian facilities exist where one can safely practice drawing a firearm from any kind of vehicle mount or from an interior vehicle compartment and then engaging a target.

If you want a firearm to be accessible, keeping it on your person in a holster you train with regularly is arguably by far the more sensible and prudent approach.

I’ve been on car forums for 20 years and these types of threads always come up and they all go this way and are eventually locked.Whether it’s where to hide your gun in your Corvette, Mustang, Hellcat, BMW, (insert brand/model here) they all go down this exact same path. There is no “civil debate” on this topic. Only the passionate on both sides get into these pissing matches. Whatever side you take you will never convince hard-core folks on the other side to change their mind. It is entertaining though 😁

If someone asks me what side I fall on I’d say none of your damn business. I came here to read about the F97 not engage in a political debate but hey, that’s just me. YMMV.

Then why did you feel the need to engage in a “Where to store your gun” thread? If you are neutral, why voice your opinion on this topic you don’t seem care about? I’ll tell you like I told Canada, move on to the Which wax to use thread if you don’t have anything to add to this thread.

No offense taken. I actually laughed.

Anti gun people: Why are you on this thread if you're "no pun intended" so triggered by guns? No one gives a shit about your opinions. Literally no one. Just skip the thread, pretend you're an adult, and mind your business.

Seems like the ones telling gun owners they have small dicks are the ones obsessed with our dicks. Projection is what I think

Would be great if we can keep the politics out of the car enthusiast forum but I know thats not realistic. Would be nice though...

Flame-suit on,I'm ready to be attacked!
There will never be any discussion in an open forum about where you mount your firearm that doesn't go political. Sadly this is society today.
That's because liberals are control freaks who can't live and let live.

I never said I was neutral. That was an assumption. I’m certainly not neutral. I said I don’t talk politics on an auto forum. The original intent of my post was simply to say no one wins and people just get wound up for nothing. I don’t have an issue with the topic just funny how no matter what car you have and what forum your on there is a thread like this and they all start out friendly then go off the rails. I agree that this is a perfectly valid thread but I did not take it off rails merely pointing it out. I respect both points of view here even if I don’t agree with some opinions.

On a separate note, that little mini glove box where some of the people here store their guns is one of the most used storage areas in my M.

Duly noted…. I’ve never actually looked to see if our X3MC has that mini glovebox? I’ll have to pay more attention to the interior layout in my wife’s car. Ha!

If you can legally open carry, then I would suggest an ankle holster. I found this video very helpful in selecting my first holster. The holster must be worn at the right height and cant so that the grip is easily accessible. The most comfortable holsters are paddle holsters and inside the waist band holsters. I would suggest you consider one of these holsters instead of keeping it in your car. These holsters can be concealed under casual clothes too.

Damn this is getting hot. Reality is if we lived in a world with no guns then I would be all for that. But we have more guns then people. There are more good people then bad. More good gun owners then bad. Yes people make mistakes and forget their guns or accidentally discharge. Should we also get rid of cars because people drink? Its a moot point to bring up the negative of guns. There are many ways we can improve. But here is a fact. Some of the highest gun crime are in cities with the highest gun control.

The 1911 is to big for the Glovebox, so this was a perfect solution. I did have to screw into the lower plastic, but not a big deal for me. Where is everyone else mounting theirs?
Likewise: I’m a political refugee from post Brexit little Britain - now thankfully in continental Europe, far away from Johnson (Britain’s Trump) and others of his ilk. Anyway - given the success with your firearm mount, can you give me a few tips! I want to mount a dashboard vase for a bunch of flowers, and also mount my yoga mat for ease of use during traffic jams. Any tips gratefully received!
