Retaks...Somebody is gonna have to show me in black and white where it is illegal to transport a firearm in a vehicle without it being in a case here in PA. I never heard of such a thing. Sounds to me like a deputy who was trying to make himself out to be a big man. It's definitely illegal to have a shell in the chamber or magazine when in a vehicle, but someone is just flat going to have to show me in "the book" where that particular statement lies. I don't believe it.

i believe PA has a '3 step law' meaning it must take 3 steps to use the firearm. If you have the guns in the back window, the ammo must be seperate and locked. this gives you the 3 steps.

1 unlock ammo
2 open case/glovebox.
3 load firearm


dont quote me on this

They are leagal in Pa. But I'm no big fan of window racks. Buy a window rack and put your fishing rod or levels in them if your a carpenter but IMHO if traveling on PUBLIC roads one is better off not advertising.

Even if it's legal where you live, it's not a good idea. Even with no weapon in the rack, it advertises to criminals that you might have a handgun stashed in there somewhere. I don't display anything on my vehicle that indicates there might be a firearm inside. Not even an NRA sticker, criminals look for stuff just like that, it's better to look like the rest of the herd.

I have an overhead rack in my F-250.It is O.K. as long as you don't forget about it and break your head.:eek:It is sorta out of the way and does not take up a lot of space.

Illegal or not it probably isn't the best idea to display your hardware like that, what do you have to gain for all the hassle it will cause?

I know that in Ontario we can travel with an uncased, unloaded gun in a vehicle with a licensed driver (so its under their care and control, the gun can't be left unsupervised) but if I tried it I'd be pulled over by SWAT by gunpoint, we gun owners know the gun laws better than the cops do, I imagine that even if its within your rights and your not breaking any laws you will still create big headaches for yourself, and may get your guns stolen.

Guys, he wasn't asking whether it was a good idea to have/use a gun rack. He just asked where to get one.

Myself, I got one whento use when I need it, such as driving around on our land, going camping or hunting. I got one from Academy, whichhas adjustable fingers that go under the plastic molding at the top & bottom of the rear window. This thing sucks though, it doesn't stay up when going over anything resembling a bump in the road. Shotgun then clatters onto back seat... I'm still looking around for a better-designed rack --
