I leave my miniguns tucked away behind the fenders.

whatever works for you
I do. In a console vault. Awesome center console safes.
Wouldn't that just encourage some dude to break into your vehicle?
Rat Patrol always left their Brownings in open Jeeps
and never had a problem w/theft. Now of course
they also had sidearms and seldom out of shooting
distance from the Jeeps. And weren't in Detroit or 'Lanta.

It's a pain but I don't trust people enough to be able to keep one in my ride 24-7 .
IMO That is how most stolen guns get on the street.
Still in the end I respect each persons decision .

I say "hell no!" to leaving a pistol, in working condition, in a parked unattended vehicle especially at night.
That's too much risk that your gun will be stolen and introduced into the black market to be used by robbers and killers.
When gun is small, portable, and concealable, I say bring it into your home every night! Take it into your office when you work, every day.
But if I believe in having a long gun available, because rifles and shotguns are far more powerful than handguns, and rifles in carbines have five times the effective range...
...and knowing that most people live under circumstances that it's not easy to bring a long gun in an out of your car every morning and every night, without having the neighbors conclude that you are a psycho...
I can understand having an inexpensive but effective long gun -- a rifle, carbine, or shotgun -- that is just kept permanently in your vehicle.
For a good while I had an SKS behind the front seats of my vehicle. Magazine loaded but chamber empty. And a couple extra 10 round stripper clips kept handy.
I had a vinyl coated steel cable bicycle lock in the car, and at night I would use it to secure the gun to one of my seat posts.

My carry stays on me, holster or pocket. My “truck” gun is in my man-boy leather and fabric carry bag that screams rainbows and unicorns, also packed in there is suppressor, 2 sizes of caltrops, red and yellow smoke, pepper spray, first aid with antibiotics. Extra cash, silver. Flex cuffs and a Gerber mk2. Just in case the young hood rats get frisky. And no it don’t stay in there overnight!
