Don’t trust the glove compartment! Use something that would take some effort for a crook to get into such as a mini safe or lock box. DAC Technolo- gies is known for their great outdoor products including gun cleaning kits, tools and accessories. They make a great travel safe that can be used at home or in vehicles, the Fast Action Sports Safe. By buying extra mount- ing plates you can take the safe from the house to the car to the RV.
