What Officers Need to Know About Mounting & Storing Firearms in the Patrol Vehicle

摘要

The location of firearm(s) can vary greatly depending on the make and model of your vehicle. This also effects how fast they may need to be accessed and the method of storing and securing them. Electric release locking mount for the shotgun on the passenger side of the transmission hump? Yep. Electric release locking gun rack for an M4 on the front of the prisoner transport cage? Yep. Barrel down double mount for shotgun AND rifle on the passenger floorboard? Yep. Good old fashion rifle rack in the back window? Yep. It all depends on need and agency policy and those policies vary a great deal dependent on setting, population, and politics.
