Storing weapons, especially firearms in an automobile is not a good idea. They are up for grabs for any drugged up car prowler who happens to be working the area where it is parked. The drugged up car prowler then becomes an armed drugged up car prowler. Over the span of my police career I have taken countless reports of cars broken into where guns were taken. Once on the streets, they become a threat to us all. Although not the primary purpose for breaking in, it becomes a target of opportunity.

Solid agreement from this Rabbit about guns in cars. That said, I'm heading out west over the Christmas holiday and I will carry my Glock 27 concealed on my belt until I get to AZ, then I will substitute one of my .357 mag 6-shooters, and the G27 will go in a locked box. I will also have my .357 mag carbine, and many rounds of ammo. They will have to accompany me in the car, but will linger with me in any motel room I happen to find along the way. Of course, the chances of my car being stolen with me in it are decidedly remote. Once I get to AZ, the G27 stays locked in my parents' house while I head west because California thinks it's an assault weapon. I won't carry concealed in CA, but I will have my .357 mag nearby. Still illegal, but less likelihood of stimulating an arrest from over-zealous law enforcement.
