With a CC permit I wouldnt see it being an issue but without that permit I can see the cop throwing alot of tickets your way.

I have a CCW, so no issue for me, but depending on local laws it might be a concern.

you dont need a ccw to carry the weapon in the glove box (in south carolina). but anywhere else in the car is what would cause the problem.
but, if its in a lock box, would it still pose a problem?

again, just asking in case anyone has researched further.
thanks

Looks good, I love mine! And to the guy that mentioned different foam, I went to Sears and got the tool box liner foam, kinda sticky and fit it in the bottom. I still may do the sides but haven't done it yet.

As for carrying the weapon with out a ccw in the console vault, it's going to depend entirely on your states laws. If the ammo was in a separate area and the console vault was locked, you should be ok. Now if your states laws for peaceable journey state that the weapon can't be accessible from the drivers seat or passenger compartment, then this won't cover you.

Oh man that's perfect. Been contemplating getting a concealed permit. Of course in Texas I don't need one to conceal carry in the truck since they extended your "imminent domain" to your vehicle.

There is a version for the gen 3's, not sure if it's this exact model I'd have to look at one up close.

That's Bad A$$ Too bad it doesn't have bio-recognition for when you need it!

Well I rigged up a holster on that map holder/storage thing next to my leg (I have the console shifter). So the gun is there when I need it. The safe is just if I can't carry someplace while I'm out. To be honest I've used it more for storing any kind of valuables in, since there isn't a locking glove box.

It stays pretty tight, but I might put a notch in the plastic at some point for where the paddle nub goes.

Nice gun Chris look like a 45 cal. I don't have any gun but I would like one because I keep my gps, camera and sometime alot of money in there. I'm retired military so will they give me a discount?

Thanks, its actually a Springfield EMP. I'm not sure about the military discount, my mother-in-law gave it to me for Christmas.

I love this console safe.
I want to install a 3rd gen center seat in my 2nd gen, just to get one.
