Yes they did. The government has to "prove" that it was intended to be used for a controlled substance. There are probably many localities that would simply arrest you for it right away and then let you fight it in court. http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2923.241 |

Check your local laws. Some states it's against the law to have hidden compartments in a vehicle. Ohio does have a hidden compartment law, but it only pertains to compartments made "with the intent to facilitate the unlawful concealment or transportation of a controlled substance". Since that's not my intention, I think I'm okay. ETA: 2923.241 Hidden compartments in vehicles.

Roush makes a really neat "tool kit" that attaches to the inside top of the trunk lid for Mustangs. I wanted to get one, remove the foam inserts and put some in to hold my SBR AR. Problem is, they are 500 freaking dollars!

However you will get the privilege of arguing that in court after you have spent thousands of dollars in legal fees to prove your logic. The government isn't interested in logic, it's interested in control and power. Play your cards intelligently. |

Your options are push button release and/or key lock. Mine is setup with push button and key release. iirc I have about $125 in everything minus installation. I got that free. |

California has a hidden compartment law and a second law prohibiting the transportation of firearms in "Glove or utility compartments".
Technically speaking the hidden compartment law thing is a stack on charge for narcotics cases and the firearms one pertains to considering the glove compartment as a locked container. But I wouldn't tempt fate with either of them. Neat to know I would have been a felon between 18-21 for my stash of booze in the rear wheelhouse of my old Celica (accessed by removing the rear seat cupholder). Considering I almost caught a felony at that age for having a basball bat in the back of my car, I guess luck was on my side. |

You could just stash an AR in an old golf bag or piece of luggage. No hidden compartment laws, out of sighte, and who would want to steal a ratty old set of golf clubs.
