To me, elaborate setups tie you to them. Breakdowns, hijacks, gas/fuel are all factors. Locks? Why? Would you leave it parked away from you expecting somebody isn’t gonna try to take it? Steal the SUV?
To me. Three/four weapons to carry and keep with you. A beast revolver, a reliable semi that takes mucho capacity mags (a Glock 19?), a good closeup pump shotgun, and a longer range high caliber rifle.... Machete,big knife, and backpack with mags/ammo extra.
I just had a Viper system installed in my truck. Security won’t be a problem -unless someone kills me and takes my key.
But, I’m always armed.
Way too much to carry on foot. I am going cowboy on this one, one side arm, one rifle in the same caliber. My caliber of choice is .45 colt.

Our third (spare) vehicle, a chevy 1/2 ton, ext. cab 4/4, is 25 yrs old, looks practically worthless (clearcoat coming off, and some rust here and there, hubcap missing), but I keep it in a-1 shape mechanically. It looks like it would not be worth the risk of stealing. No tale-tale signs of gun ownership (hunting/nra stickers). I would like to someday get the parts gathered up to allow it to run ‘old school’ if need be (carburetor, points ignition, etc).
