When I was a kid my Grandfather always told me that if your going to set something (Fishing pole/Gun etc...) on a vehicle, set it on the hood.

Unfortunately I learned why he always told me that the hard way. When I was 14 we were visiting my step fathers parents farm. I had a .22 that was borrowed from a cousin so I could do some rabbit hunting.

When I finished my hunting i set the rifle on the case on the trunk of a Plymouth Fury III... A very large old car. When I was doing other things with the other kids my mother took the car to town... We never saw that rifle again.

Since then I've set guns on the "hood" of a vehicle 100's of times... I've read threw our regulations book several times, tho these days I usually just review the new regulations... I've never seen anything about setting a gun on a vehicle here but am thinking that maybe I should dig a little deeper after reading a few of the responses in this thread.

The reason I asked my question is because I've never seen anyone set a couple of guns just hanging out out the back of a truck like that. Maybe it's just me, but it just didn't look right
