I know that safe. It's very easy to pick open.
is your airport particularly scary place ?I use my car safe to house my registration and insurance cards. On occasion, not very often, I'll throw a cheap gun in there for trips to the airport.
It's Eugene, so I have to drive. There's some crazies on the road.is your airport particularly scary place ?
That's why you keep a Taurus or a Block in itBuddy had one of those console safes, yeah... it was stolen along with his pickup truck.
you guys are so spicy today lolIf it's a glock just toss it on the front seat, no one will steal it.
Since you're new to carrying... Step one, become the most amicable, level-headed SOB and do not honk unless you're looking for a road rage incident. You are infinitely more likely to get into a road rage confrontation that way.To answer the why's... First of all, I go in to a lot of places where you can't bring a gun. Second, I am forgetful. keep my guns in a safe in the house so it is just another thing to remember to bring it - I am new to carrying. I also do not feel too threatened day to day but have a tendency to honk at bubblegums and lately the bubblegums have been also crazy.
Each person and their situation is different.
Yes each persons situation is different but that doesnt change the fact that keeping a gun in the car is a bad idea. Keep the gun on body and if you cant bring it into a place/dont want to risk a case probably better to leave it at home. If youre concerned about the crazies in traffic adjust your habits to be as non provoking as possible.To answer the why's... First of all, I go in to a lot of places where you can't bring a gun.

As time goes on you can train yourself to remember the gun. When I am going to work I keep my wallet sitting with my keys because too many times I would drive off and somewhere along the way remember I had no wallet. So one way would be keep the car keys with the gun you want to bring?? A lot of course depends on where you are living and parking. Also keeping nothing in plain sight to attract the scum. Main thing is if your gun is stolen don't wait to report it. Better to maybe get an earful from them when reporting it than have it turn up at a crime before you told them it was gone.To answer the why's...

Oregon law requires that you report it within (3 days?).As time goes on you can train yourself to remember the gun.

Suspect many jurisdictions now have some kind of law along this line. They got tired of too many stolen guns ending up at a crime that had never been reported.Oregon law requires that you report it within (3 days?).
Oregon passed it a few years ago if I recall. I don't remember the specifics on time, but I think it's three days; trust but verify.Suspect many jurisdictions now have some kind of law along this line. They got tired of too many stolen guns ending up at a crime that had never been reported.
If you want a gun in your car because you honk at people and deal with road rage then I'll be the first person to say that it may be wise to leave your gun at home.To answer the why's...

If you're going to carry a gun (I understand you're new to this) you need to learn to check your emotions/ego/pride. Be humble. Don't get flustered. Don't honk. Don't be in a rush.
If a gun is your solution to rash decisions and outbursts than I would suggest not carrying.
Please don't take this as an insult. I'm not pointing a finger at you directly. After Covid people have forgot how to interact. Everyone is emotional. Everyone is angry. Everyone is in a hurry. It's a recipe for disaster. We see it in the news daily.
I understand the frustrations when it comes to other drivers (and those damn cyclists). Trust me I drive 8 hours a day. I get it. Laws aren't enforced, no LE traffic presence. Terrible drivers. But check the emotions. It pays off in the long run. My wife is notorious for honking, tailgating, flipping off etc. I've had to sit her down and lay out the real possibilities of what may happen when you do that to the wrong person. Even if you're in the right. And if she is driving when I'm in the car I hound her about it cause I'll be the one having to get in a potential gunfight simply cause she wanted the last say.
No emotions. Slow down. Relax. If no one is dying then it's all going to be ok.
^^^. This right here is first and foremost. Humble, walk away, stop honking, not to be a doormat, but don't be a catalyst either.Since you're new to carrying... Step one, become the most amicable, level-headed SOB and do not honk unless you're looking for a road rage incident. You are infinitely more likely to get into a road rage confrontation that way.
Hey man, I didn't explain too well, and I appreciate the response. I guess what I am saying is that people are crazy and escalate even the most inoffensive thing to crazy levels and I want to make sure I have something to defend myself. I am sure you have seen it. I live in inner SE Portland. Bicyclists, crazies with no license plates, and general breakdown of society etc. Cheers.If you want a gun in your car because you honk at people and deal with road rage then I'll be the first person to say that it may be wise to leave your gun at home.
