Where do you keep your pistol in truck? Any under seat holsters?

[Pit Bull]

Got a question for you guys. How many times have you been stopped and your car/truck searched? I've been stopped but never searched. I would say you have about the same odds of needing the gun in the truck as you have of ever being stopped and searched. I would also think that it might help your driving if you did carry illegally since you would be more careful about not breaking any traffic laws

I would say we should always 'try' to obey the law.



If and only if, the law prohibits us from protecting ourselves and our family from 'imminant' danger should the law be sacraficed... . IMHO.



For instance... . Code Orange a few weeks ago, they're telling us to buy Duct Tape and Plastic for our windows. Well I'll be damned if I'm going to leave my pistol at home, while I have to worry about some terrorists attacking us on the home front... and the Gov't telling us to have Tape and Plastic on hand. If it's bad enough that we need to live like this, it's bad enough that we need our fire arms as SIDE ARMS.

My creedo:

If your or your loved ones lives are in danger, do what you have to do to protect yourself and them and worry about the legal ramifications later.

Survival is the most basic instinct.

PS if a law is unconstitutional, to me it's not really a law.

First, to our cops, I thank you. Cops have to do something (I mean really do something) to loose my respect. It was earned by putting on the uniform. We have the best law enforcement in the world bar none. Its our courts that are a mess IMHO. (Doesn't it just make you feel all warm and fuzzy . Seriously, its from the heart though. )



I have been in one situation where having it saved my hide. I hope I'm never in such a situation again. I pulled it and was prepared to use it. The two most important things my Dad taught me about guns 1) there is no such thing as an unloaded gun; 2) never point a gun at anything/one you don't intend to shoot. Bottom line is I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I'm and Eagle scout and the motto sticks with me after all these years: "Be prepared"



I'm a law abiding type with the only exceptions of my lead foot and frequent neglect of seat belts (my first truck didn't have seat belts). I will continue to be that type until such times as a revolution is required to return to a Constitutional government (I'm not a wackjob, don't believe this will be required in the foreseeable future). If I feel a law is wrong I will work within the system to do something about it. Sometimes its a loosing battle but right is right as wrong is wrong. I am not a law unto myself and if I become so, picking which laws I'll obey and which ones I won't (note flaws above & might be others), I'm no different than anyone breaking ANY other law (if I lived in the UK I'd be a criminal).



That being said, I will take any action and support any action to eliminate any threat of harm to my family/country up to and including thermo nuclear persuasion.

Better to be tried by twelve, than carried by six...

What a great thread!!! TDR is as good as it gets!!

Damm..... I wish we could carry in Canada. I would jump through a thousand hoops to be able to pack if I lived in a big city. The crime in our little city here isn't too bad yet. We are going through a bunch of bullsh1t right now with the new laws they passed on gun registry here in Canda. I'm one of those law abiding guys who didn't think we should have to register, but I did it anyway on the very last day of the deadline. Now I find out that something like 50% of the people didn't register and that they might be changing some of the laws. If they reverse the thing then I will really be p1ssed off. We are missing that one great line in our constitution.

I can stop a speeding bullet, leap tall buildings with a single bounce, and stop a locomotive or something like that... So, I don't need to carry I do spend a lot of time in the phone booth though.

Sounds like you are a lethal weapon. You might want to check before you leave the house, you might need a concealed carry permit if you go around with clothes on :-laf

Wow, glad I live in VT

Just read through this thread and visited that www.packing.org website. It is nice to know our VT gun laws are pretty simple!



From packing.org

"Vermont is unique in that permits are not required for carry concealed or unconcealed for resident and non-resident alike. Local ordinances vary, though. VT has no statutes concerning concealed carry, nor is there a specific statute that allows it. In the absence of a statute that prohibits it, then it is taken that there is no law against it. "



Our crime rates are low despite hardly one officer on the road after about 2pm I guess it can't hurt that most all homeowners have at least one weapon in a home Hell, my wife is pretty good with the shotgun.



Now before you all move to VT for our gun laws, remember we still have town meetings often run by the local 'BOSS HOG'. We have junk ordinances that keep me from having all the project vehicles, storage trailers etc that I'd like to have on my 12 acres, supposedly the acid rain from the midwest power plants and then there is that civil union thing that tends to wind folks up a bit.....



While I don't choose to carry, I respect those who can and do. Likewise I also respect law enforcement's need to do what they must to be safe in an all too often dangerous lonely career.

I sure wished more people thought this way.

Anyone have one of these Aegis pistol safes for their truck? Just got one for my birthday and trying to figure out where to put it in the new 03. I'd like to keep it handy, yet out of the view of thieves. I had it figured out for the 95 truck, but the new one has fewer options. Any suggestion?

 

[mcoleman]

Hey Pit sounds like your house is a lot like mine. Dogs included. But my wife prefers the shotgun. She can actually hit something with that. That is if they make it through the 3 little doggies. LOL Good job Larry by the way but what about Holden. I was wondering where we are at on this. I always carry when I'm riding either my 4 wheeler or horse, mule ect in the national forest but I figure I have good reason to in there. And it's not concealed. I either carry a super blackhawk or a blackhawk in leather. And depending on the season my . 308 or Super Mag 870 in a scabbard.
