Anyone see an issue with this storage in a vehicle?

[CATI]

I do not drive a vehicle that has console locks or safes available. So I made this today. I used a premade safe, mounted it, bolted it to the vehicle and put a auxiliary finger print scanner to open it. This is not for long term storage, just for when I am someone carrying would not be allowed.

That's overkill. It's far more than I have. Though I'm not sure if I can tell what I'm looking at.

I just cable it to a seat stanchion and call it good.

Pretty spiffy though. Gotta love an elegant solution.

That's cool. And I admire your ingenuity, but I have a $19.99 lockbox with a cable in my backseat lol.

That is nice and discreet. out of sight, out of mind.

Does your glovebox not work?........ Oh wait, sorry

I use a Pelican case with a steel bicycle cable going around a significant portion of the chassis. It would take a chop saw to get into that.

I keep a car safe in my car if I ever need to lock it up because I can’t carry somewhere. I leave a small Plano case w a lock in it in Madame’s car for the same reason. Less worried about it getting stolen than not being able to store it properly in a pinch.

Fingerprint safes should not be used for defensive firearms. Far too unreliable

Yeah its overkill. But its damn nice. What did that cost? And can you do it for me?

Little over $300. The safe is so large I doubt it would fit in many vehicles like that.

Mid size suv?

Can use an aux button or finger print. But if you have a aux button is in considered locked in a non free state? I used the finger print to prevent issues.

What DVD you gon' pop in?

 

[CATI]

Mid size suv?

Yup. The console is pretty high and just happens to be empty under it. Doubt many other vehicles are like that. Would need to explore

 

[Laderbuilt]

Not to be a downer but would that fall under some stupid BS law about “secret” compartments?
Either way still really friggen cool. Should put up a how to. So we can all do it.

Maybe if I carpeted the front to blend it. But who knows. I will risk that fight. It is no more secret vs a glove box.

That thing is sweet.

First you build it. Then you ask. I like your style.

Anyone see an issue with this storage in a vehicle?

LOL. It looks great. I want one.

But I wonder, since you asked. After all the work, what if some lawyer comes here and tells you that doesn't meet the requirements of the law?

What? Secret compartment law? Lol.

Edit: I did a search on this.

I f*cking hate MA. The stuff these people come up with.

Very nice work.

 

[CATI]

You already built it and then you ask

Things already cut. If its a problem I will need to junk the vehicle and buy a new one

There's a thread somewhere on the site.

@AHM probably has a link!

I found some articles online and edited my post.

I wish I could say it is unbelievable, but it is MA, anything is possible.

I thought (in mass) locking your guns in your car was "not legal storage" ....screw it Im keeping the handgun on me. If I cant bring it where im going.....im going home

 

[AHM]

What DVD you gon' pop in?

Eggcellent idea. Store a couple of CDs in the compartment when it doesn't contain a gun.

Or grab a copy of the PDF for the car's owner's manual.

Edit in a new page with prose going on and on about the "CD caddy",
and have a copy printed off at (ironically) Copy Cops.

Toss the new manual in the glove compartment
and the old manual in the garbage.

If you get pulled over,
just show the cop "standard equipment, mon".

What? Secret compartment law? Lol.

News to me,
unless you're thinking of that French Connection rocker panel production still
that I posted in some random thread (skoolie conversion? LOL)
