Leaving my gun in my car. Advice needed.

I wouldn't worry about the ammo cooking off but the heat does shorten the "shelf life" so replace it maybe once a month in the summer.
An insulated storage container is a great idea too.

This is how I leave my revolver when I have to go to court.
I didn't use the cable lock this time, although I have one. The gun is directly locked to a heavy duty steel bar at the bottom of the seat using a vinyl coated padlock.
I usually put an old shirt or sweater or some piece of junk on top of the gun to block the view of it. But not for this photo.

And yes, I know my car needs vacuuming !

Do you have a secure place inside the hospital?? Can you bring the gun inside to secure it during working hours, but not carry on your person?

I wear surg. tech. style plain blue scrubs. Due to the nature of what I do I'm way too active to carry at work. I tried pocketing a ppk clone in an uncle mikes and the paranoia wasn't worth it. I feel like it would be a fiasco and I'd lose my license to practice if I did get caught.

We do have employee lockers, but they're the "hospital property" subject to search, yadda yadda. I think I'm going to start using a locking briefcase. Anyone have any ideas as to whether that would be subject to search?

Can you take a small locking box/case and place it in the hospital locker? Maybe that's what you meant by a locking briefcase? I think this is the best answer, security for your gun, you are not "carrying" where not allowed, your ammo is not overheating in the car.

Can you find a more gun friendly work environment?
