It's legal in KY to have it in your truck backwindow rack,but now days thats just begging some SOB thats to sorry to work to break your sideglass out and take it.A friend of mine had this happen a couple of years ago at the funeral home,which is right by the court house/police station here in allen co.The gun was never found a rem.700 270cal.that was given to him by his dad.So it's not wise a gun rack behind the seat would have probably prevented this since the theives wouldn't have seen anything vuluable they probably wouldn't have been in his truck.And a firearm in your vehicle on school property, parking lot,bus road,or pickup lanes is the best way I know to get 3 meals a day delivered to you and your cellmates,even in rural towns some prosecuting attourney would have a field day with this and after jail your gun rights would be gone for ever probably even after 7 years and you got your other rights reinstated your gun right's would never be returned.A concealed carry permit wont help on school property law enforcement is disarmed on school grounds here in KY they are allow to lock'em in their cruiser trunk.
