    My kid is wanting to join her schools sporting clays team.

    For those of you that hunt/shoot with shotguns and rifles, where do you secure your firearms?

    At one point, I think there was someone who did some sort of bracket modification so the back of the rear seat could be more easily lifted out for storage behind the rear seat. This would be preferred, but I'm also looking at tool boxes for the back of the truck

    I'm also looking looking at a locking box, over the wheel, tool box sort of thing. This one hangs off the rail.

    This would be the only option I would consider "secure". I wouldn't trust a rifle/shotgun in a truck bed unless you're removing the rifle any time you're leaving the truck for longer than a quick run into the gas station.

    I did. The guns we shoot don't fit. It's good for smaller stuff I guess. Looking into making some taller drawers for the bed and covering it with some black carpeting. My bed has a camper shell on it and a deck with a couple of drawers under it might work better.

    Longing for the old days when pickups in the HS parking lot had racks with rifles in the rear windows. It was a simpler time.

    I took my trap gun to school every week in the trunk of my car. They were simpler times with less nonsense and more accountability from kids.

    I do like the deckd drawer method. Seems solid.
