GreasemonkeySC Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I know I'm not the only MJ owner that has a CWP. The give box is a joke, I'm not leaving it under the seat, and my toolbox in the bed isn't that secure. What's your storage solutions for keeping your side arms secure?

Pete M Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 they make locking steel center consoles for wranglers. I'd imagine one of those could be adapted to an MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assure you that walking into the County Court building to go pay taxes isn't going to go well when the security buzzer goes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my Tuffy full console in my Rubi, but I'm trying to figure out a way to maintain the bench seat, and keep from having to do a bunch of fab work to mount decent buckets.

Pete M Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 oh, if you have a bench, then you might be limited to a typical handgun safe bolted to the rear wall. My buddy had his revolver in a typical handgun carrying case that was cable locked to the seat base. works ok, but it's main defense is that no one knows it's there and doesn't come prepared with the appropriate cutters.

coolwind57 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I have a small key-lockable safe that holds my full-size FN. I don't yet have it attached, as I have yet to make up my mind where to put it. I was looking to find a fairly easy to access location. I'm also a bit limited inside the cab under the seat with my custom-fab'd bucket Dakota seats. Before I go into a government building or other place that does not allow it, I usually lock it in my safe and lock the safe inside my bed toolbox. I did install a dash-mounted rubber coated magnet that I thought I'd use more often: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B8XWRBZ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These things are pretty cool. It works fine, but I find myself keeping my weapon holstered nearly all the time. I have a Clinger holster and it surpasses my expectations for concealability and especially comfort so I don't really un-holster getting into vehicles. Highly recommend Clinger for concealed carry of especially full-sized handguns, by the way. Let me know what you come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 https://www.firstalert.com/product/portable-handgun-or-pistol-safe/ Includes a steel lanyard that you can wrap around a seat pedestal to prevent snatch-and-run.

Your call. Bolting it down in a pickup truck makes it much less accessible. I don't know about where you live but around here smash-and-grab type thieves don't generally carry bolt cutters that will snip a hardened steel aircraft cable. Plus, if the case is under the driver's seat, they can't see it looking in the window, so hopefully they won't have any incentive to break in. If they do break in, even more than in a home burglary, their goal is to grab what they can as quickly as they can so they can scoot with the loot. They're unlikely to hang around analyzing the best way to defeat a storage box that's designed not to be broken into, and that may not have anything valuable in it anyway.

I'm not worried about access for safety really. I'm more interested in it being very secure when I need to leave it behind.I want to know that if someone gets my firearm it's because they stole the dam vehicle!

Where ya gonna mount that in your MJ? I'll most likely make a custom mount for the back wall. I didn't see them on Amazon, but there are some made by a police supply mfg. that are made to mount anywhere, and can be coded or biometric. I'll have to check with the supplier for the PD tomorrow.

shrapneltyphoon Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Wish someone could figure out who made the locking long gun case for behind the bench seat. Not really helpful for cwp pistol but was made to fit the Comanches and looked perfect and mounted to the back of the cab below the window line. Need reproduction or better welding!

GreasemonkeySC Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 I ended up getting one of these. It's not exactly what I was looking for, but it's removable, locks into the cage it's mounted, and has a cable if you choose to use it. The lock is double cut, and the arm hooks through the lid, and through the cage.I put inserts through the rear wall, and mounted the cage. My Walther PPS m2 in a Sticky Holster fits perfect!

That's the polymer frame revolver. I would only but it because it's resistant to moisture, and I can get one super cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
