Our agency mandates the long gun be secured to the vehicle. I use a six foot long bike cable. We have to run the cable through the ejection port and mag well. This forces officers to unload the rifle, and solves the problem mentioned above of locking throughout the front sight post. Problem is, to get a cable that fits through the ejection port requires a small diameter cable... I really like the bolt in the front takedown pin ideal though...
Anyway, we do not have the budget for long gun lock boxes in every vehicle. I drive a U/C unmarked Jeep Grand Cherokee. So my vest, helmet, rifle, hand held radio, NVG, video camera and duty gear is only a broken window away from being lost... A ton of expensive gear. You would think with all the guns and gear we lose to auto break ins per , year it would be cheaper to just buy the damn lock boxes... They seem to think my car alarm will actually protect my gear. Doubtful...
