Do in-car gun safes make your vehicle a target for theft?
Having a gun safe for vehicles won’t make you a target for breaking and entering, as Console Vault’s safes are designed to seamlessly blend in with the existing interior of your vehicle. Should you experience a break-in someday, your valuables will remain discreetly secured with an added layer of protection within our safes.
Are any licenses or permits required for having a hidden gun safe for cars?
There should be no laws that restrict you from being able to purchase and install a car or truck gun safe, but you may need to check for restrictions on the firearms themselves.
With that in mind, it’s important to consult your state rules and regulations regarding carrying firearms in your vehicle, as well as transporting them across state lines.
How accessible are my firearms in the case of an emergency?
With an in-car gun safe, your firearms and other valuables should be quickly and easily accessible with the right key or code. To increase the speed of accessibility, you’ll need to practice unlocking your car or truck gun safe to ensure that you feel comfortable and confident retrieving your valuables in a pinch.
What are some ways to protect my vehicle from theft?
Here are just some of the practices that our team recommends for decreasing your chances of car theft and access to your in-car gun safe:
- Parking in well-lit areas when leaving your vehicle unattended
- Using theft deterrents, like wheel locks and car alarms
- Ensuring that your insurance covers your gun safe for a vehicle
