Quick and Easy Toyota Tundra Gun Mount

Do you need to keep a gun in your Tundra within easy reach? For your sake, I hope the answer is “No.”
Check it - a standard gun holster mounted below the Tundra's steering column. Click for a larger view.
However, if the answer is “yes”, here’s a quick and easy gun mounting tip for you.
1. Buy a standard holster.
2. Clip it to the plastic panel below the steering column.
3. Make sure you don’t leave your gun in your parked vehicle at the mall, grocery store, etc., because someone might break in.
4. Don’t knock the gun out of it’s holster when you get out of your truck (your knee can hit it pretty easily from what I’m told).
5. Some states have laws against having a loaded weapon within easy reach of anyone riding in the passenger compartment (including my home state of Colorado), so keep that in mind.
6. Ask yourself if the benefits of this quick access outweigh the safety and security of a truck-mounted gun safe like this one.
A small locking box with a cable that you can anchor to your seat rail mounts is a great portable gun safe.
It’s easy to imagine a scenario with the above setup where you forget your gun in your truck and someone else gets their hands on it.
What do you think? Cool or not cool?

Really? What happens to the gun when the knee airbag goes off? The best place for a gun is in the hidden compartment between the (floor) shifter and the cup holders.
Quick and accessible, universal steering wheel column mount is ideal for carrying a handgun in your vehicle for convenience or self-defense. Great for those who often conceal carry and may not want to keep their pistol on them while driving.
This is the setup I use.
I mount the small gun to the left side of the console. I have thought about mounting it under the dash.
