Having searched the forums, as well as using Google to search the web resources, I'm curious if any of you have developed sound, secure ways of storing long guns in your TT?

There are a few gun cabinets that can be used "flat", for example secured to the TT floor underneath the queen bed storage area, or underneath a bunk. I've also considered adapting a pick-up tool box/chest for this purpose.

I've looked at some of the V-line cabinets, some of the specialized cases from Pelican, and a variety of aluminum chest-style truck boxes. None of them have any particular appeal to me, and while they could be adapted these solutions seem less than ideal.

Having said that, before I go off and re-invent the wheel I'd appreciate any pointers or insight from those of you who've addressed this need.

I don't bother with a cabinet. The rifle(s) and/or shutgun are in hard case(s) that fit nicely under the bed and then soft stuff on top of them. Handgun(s) pretty much stay with me.

The RAC is the ultimate anti-theft ‘gun lock’ and ‘gun safety’ storage system. Versatile, easy to install, easy to use and virtually tamper-proof; the RAC is the new standard in gun safety.

Designed from multiple patents, the 3" standard “RAC” gun lock system can securely lock and store most handguns, rifles and shotguns. The RAC's unique design comes with three interchangeable locking plates, three keys and the unit itself can be attached to a wall stud in the home or a secure place in a vehicle (where permitted). Once the firearm is locked in a properly affixed RAC, it can not be removed by the routine snatch and grab intruder or children. Made of solid steel construction, it can withstand more than 2,000 pounds of pull pressure. However, when the firearm is needed; the RAC is equipped with quick, easy key access.

I either put mine in the back seat of the truck or the tool box on the truck.

i have a broom clip i guess you could call it mounted to a wall and it has a rubber covering on it, i stand the rifle in a corner and its held in place by the clip that holds the barrel of the rifle.its never moved while traveling and the ammo is in a seperate place.

I have a latch and lock for my under bed storage. Secure enough for me.

Beer and popcorn? It's only 10 a.m. here on the west coast--WAY too early for popcorn!!
