Gun in lockbox in car 24/7 with W&C?

[Phoenix_1295]

Legally, can someone with a W&C permit keep a pistol in a lockbox in his car 24/7?

So, why would you want to do this?

dunno if its a true stat but 50% of stolen guns are taken from cars. I cringe at ppl who do that when the building they're going into isnt firearm prohibited.

Considering the increased car thefts and window breaking all over the country and even in my own neighborhood in pompous bethesda i wouldn't even leave a shitty bersa in the car. The thought of it possibly being used on a fellow good person or me down the road is enough for me not to do it.

Whats the gun in the lockbox gonna do when you're pumping gas?

****I have seen a holstered gun sitting in the passenger seat of someone's car, engine running, as the guy runs into the store to buy coffee...

Some people are just dumb as rocks.

Pass GO and go straight to jail. Would love to see the mug shot.

He definitely got f@cked

criminals love guys like this. A running car and a free gun...

Watched one of my contractors express vans get stolen last christmas eve in rockville late morn as he left it running just outside the door. Oh! and it was light snow. Found in downtown silver spring 3 weeks later in good order no keys.

I get the OP's interest, I think. Like a truck gun. It would be convenient to have a loaded pistol in a fairly secure locked box inside my car 24/7...along with the usual car stuff, like jumper cables, fire extinguisher, cell phone charger, etc.
I might carry one on my person as well, but there would always be one in my car...just in case.

I dig it, in theory

I guess I don’t really get the concept. If I want to have a gun with me, I’d be carrying. But to each their own.

What about an AR in the trunk?

A handgun is nice, but if I’m in some shit, I’d prefer a rifle. I commute from Bel Air to South Baltimore…

I presume you carry a knife on your person, right? Don't you keep one in your car, too?

Or a flashlight?

It could lead to the sort of negligent complacency that causes so many people to accidently take loaded guns through TSA checkpoints.

Freedom is a dangerous thing. Fortunately we have laws to keep it in check us safe.

I wouldn't.

What else?

Otherwise, you seem to be saying a permit holder can't carry anywhere, or not enough places to matter.

And if Schrodinger has a locked box marked "cat," who knows what's in it?

Yup - that's my message. You have to understand that my perspective is exactly that. I work from home and go out to watch my daughter's games. They are always at schools so can never carry there. Also go out to ref - not going to carry there since I won't carry while running and won't leave it unguarded in my bag. I also play tennis - all only at schools. 80+% of my life is at places where I can't or won't carry.

The only time I can really carry is when I go to restaurants or bars. If I'm drinking, I don't carry.
