.44 Mag (Redhawk hunter), sometimes. Technically, since I'm not 21 it should be in the back seat, or trunk. Whatever. I don't like it sliding around. I usually only have it during hunting season anyway.
My trunk always has a nice big rope, a smaller, thinner one, and paper towels. Also, a knit hat and a few little blocks of wood around the spare. Also, a qt. of Mobil 1. In the winter it has a snowbrush-scraper, and in the summer a bathing suit, and usually a jug of water. I left the suit in from last summer: eaten by a rodent. Pfft. My trunk floor is removed, and replaced with a 3/4" piece of plywood with my sub bolted to it. I can pull the whole thing during auto-x season.

CD case usually rides shotgun, but it goes in the glovebox when I have passengers or am racing.
