  1. I have a MiniVault Deluxe and really like it. Biometric would be cool but too rich for my blood. I will say I started off with the standard model and had some issues with it dying on battery. I contacted them and they sent me a replacement model no charge. Then another year or so went by and it wouldn't open one day. I used the key override and replaced the batteries and it still wouldn't open without the key. I contacted Gun Vault again and they said it sounded like a cable issue. They sent me a deluxe model for my hassle which is nice because it has the a/c plug with battery backup and a light inside. I feel a lot more comfortable having the a/c as primary. They also told me the cable issue was a design flaw and they were apparently breaking inside the unit in some devices. They have since switched designs and no longer have that problem. I would say their customer service was great for me! I keep 2 pistols in it and open it and open/close it several times a day everyday. This one has been going strong for about a year or so now.

  2. I carry an LCR if I'm wearing clothes as my brother says. This is a secondary pistol. I've had several Glocks before just kicking around different options. Thanks everyone for your insight. Still haven't decided but leaning G19 Gen 4. Already had a Gen 3.

  3. Looking for a new pistol. Primarily home defense with occasional carry. Open to 9/40/45. Thinking xdm compact. Glock 30 gen 4. Any suggestions? I like the XDs but just can't get past 5+1. I do want something with a rail.

  4. I would definitely offer it up front as a courtesy to the officer/deputy. I've been stopped 3x this year, twice for speeding and once for tags where our vehicle didn't pass..long story. Once was a Metro Nashville PD, once Williamson County Dep, and once in Murfreesboro by MPD. I always keep my hands on the wheel and have lights on. Most of all, I want them to feel safe very quickly when they are walking up to my car. They are just doing their job and honestly it would scare me every time I did a traffic stop if I was an officer. All three times I handed them my DL and permit while saying I have a HCP and I do have a weapon in the car. Metro and Murfreesboro just shrugged and said ok like they didn't care. Williamson asked where the pistol was located and said just don't touch it. Understood of course! All three of these I drove away with a warning and no trouble whatsoever.

    The only time I've not agreed with what went down at a traffic stop was when I was 21 and had my permit for a few months. I was in Brentwood and was stopped for a headlight being out ( I honestly didn't know). I guess I looked young and when I told him I had my HCP he freaked out. He made me get out of the car and stand there(no problem). Then he asked if I had other weapons in the car. I happened to have been shooting earlier in the day so I had a Kimber in my backpack in the case unloaded in the backseat. He got it out of the backpack and checked it out for no apparent reason. He ended up writing me a citation for the headlight and sending me on my way. I guess it really just made me mad about looking in the backpack etc and getting the stupid headlight ticket, which cost me $75 in court costs.

    My only other example where I thought HCP could be a problem was when my fiance and I were robbed back in Dec 2004. I have posted that story before on here, but I ended up with my wallet being taken by the robbers and then I'm armed with a Glock 27 on my belt and like 5 Metro PD units showing up to get our story. The first thing I said was we were just robbed at gunpoint and they took my HCP. I am presently armed. I figured this would cause problems, but they blew by that information and wanted to know descriptions, etc. One of them ended up telling me, "too bad you didn't shoot 'em, our job would be a lot easier." I don't know about a murder scene being easier than armed robbery, but at least the criminals wouldn't continue "working."

    I still believe it's best to always let them know asap!
