I've witnessed numerous (clueless) firearms instructors spewing that bullshit in MA! Therefore, many gun owners believe it to be illegal. I make a point of discrediting that in my Mass Gun Law seminars.

I always make a point to carry when I go to the bank. I’m often withdrawing large amounts of cash (say for a gun purchase or maybe even to pay a contractor) and that’s when I would most expect to actually need it. The idea of walking out of a bank with a couple of grand in cash unarmed is completely anathema to me.

My commute is 70+ miles went from a Ram 1500 at 13mpg to my plug-in hybrid at 80mpg.
I don't get insulted for driving it because it's more insulting to gays to call the car gay.
Actually - What insult do you use for a car that takes it both front and rear (power and fuel)?
On topic - my work is on federal property so no lockbox for me. Forgot a box of 22lr once and was praying not to get picked for the car search.

I ALWAYS carry a firearm when outside the home except for extremely rare instances where it would just be goofy. Like the beach! Do you have any idea how difficult it is to conceal even a little Seacamp .32 in your speedo? I'm afraid I do carry in prohibited places like the Post Office, banks etcetera but A wise man told me decades ago that " Concealed means concealed". Then there those other situations where you should definitely not carry like federal buildings with metal detectors.
Long winded but I guess my question is how you secure your gun in a MV? Do you put it in the trunk? Lock it to a seat support or lock it in glove compartment or what? Am I breaking the law by disassembling it? I tuck a recoil spring here, a barrel there and ammo and frame get stashed separately as well. Does the frame make what I'm doing illegal? In reality I don't think they would ever find all the components and how long does it take to break it down? 15 seconds if your taking your time so it's easy enough.
So what do you guys do??

I mounted a locking truck box behind the cab of my Tacoma. I put the unloaded guns in locked hard-sided rifle cases, then lock them in the truck box. I understand this is MA legal transport and storage. The storage part becomes relevant if you have to park the vehicle and leave it for any reason.

Is there place to plug in at work ?
An empty lockbox in place for a similar reason.

).Lots of people can't carry at work, but want to be armed to and from work. If you have to do this on a regular basis and your vehicle is parked in an unsecured lot, I would bolt a heavy lock box in the trunk or rear of the vehicle if possible. If you have a large center console, that might work too. A heavy gauge box probably wont fit under the seat of most vehicles.
The problem with the small clamshell cabled safes is they are very thin steel with tiny cables and inexpensive locks. They are probably OK for the occasional trip to the Post Office.

I drive an F250, I have a console vault in the bottom center console under the middle seat. It will fit my gun and the other half's if we're together, plus some other stuff I keep in there. I leave the console down all the time, Most people don't even know there is a seat there with a second center console under it. In our Fusion we have 2 Liberty Safe pistol box's in the trunk under the false trunk floor where the spare tire is. We keep them tethered to the reinforced part of the trunk floor that holds down the spare tire. I will not leave a long gun unattended in my vehicle for any reason, unless I'm in town on my way back from the range and I'm just stopping to grab a sandwich or something and the truck is gonna stay in sight. If I'm traveling with a long gun they go into a pelican case or similar with a couple of ABUS locks on it and I cable it to the seat mounts.
The clamshell pistol boxes from Liberty Safe are pretty damn thick and the cable they come with is pretty stout, much better than most anyway, and they are about the same money as the cheap ones.Lots of people can't carry at work, but want to be armed to and from work.

Just FYI I can pry one of those open with a flat head screwdriver or a tire iron in like 30 seconds. I had a Wrangler with one of those, so did my buddy, his pistol got stolen out of it. I tried to break into mine and got into in less than a minute and the scum bags seem to know exactly where to look for them and how to break into them.View attachment 405739
Make sure when you carry it, leave the chamber empty too.
I put one of these in my Wrangler and used a f***load of red Loctite on those 18mm bolts. Good luck
Did I miss the call for "Go Time"?
Saw it more than once out there. The California agents had to be talked down out of the nearest tree. They were easy to find, the urine trail led straight to them.
