carrying a long gun in the truck
 
OK if you wanted to carry a long gun shotgun or rifle.
In your truck for defense what would the best way to carry it where it was quick to grab but not to easy to see.
but also would not get you in trouble for any CC issues also can you can a shotgun behind your seat either loaded or unloaded with out a ccp

Well here in MA any long gun in your truck can not be loaded and has to be locked and in your control at all times. But with a class A pistal permit you can carry a pistol concealed go figure.They just make all the laws so confusing to try and trap people.

RE: carrying a long gun in the truck
 
The best truck gun I have for self protection is an UZI with a folding stock. UZI has a great little case where the rifle is held in by two velcro straps. I keep mine loaded with a 30 rounder. I have three 30-rounder's in the additional pockets. Iknow what you guy's are thinking about the spring's, but I rotate the magazines all the time, and it is pretty cheap to rip off a couple hundred rounds of 9mm.

I keep it right behind the seat in my extended cab F-150. It is always about 12 inches away from my right hand at all times. I takes me just a few seconds to get it out of the case.

I only had to bring it out one time in my life. I ran into three Rednecks just above the Cumberland Lake Dam in Kentucky. I ripped off one clip in the air. That was all it took. Tom.

At that time I was working for a large gun distributor. And yes I do have the licenses I need. But the simple answer is this.

I would rather be judged by 12, instead of being carried by 6.

I have never been in any trouble in my entire life, and I consider myself to be a very respectful person. But I will admit that I will only take so much.


By the way. There sure is some great fishing in the Burkesville area. Small mouth capital of the south, IMO. Tom.

hey easy on good ole boys from KY,I've lived here for nearly 40 years and haven't killed anyone yet.And if you want to know the laws for your state just google up Indiana Firearms Laws or whatever state you live in,and I throw back the bass(catch and release),but I sure do love the crappie and catfish for the pan.And by the way not everybody down here is a meth-head this happens nationwide,just some folks round here like it.

Sorry, I meant nothing by it. I lived in Bowling Green for almost six years, and I will admit that it was the closest to WV of any place I have ever been. Actually the hunting and fishing is better in KY than in WV.I guess the major difference is the lower population in WV. Tom.

no harm done how did you like bowling green,I have worked in and around b.g. most of my life, I live in a small town of Scottsville we are about 18 miles south of B.G. and there are a lot of better paying jobs in B.G.,It's a small world we may have seen each other and never knew it.And it is wise to carry a gun any where now a days,there is bad every where.

Scottsville is a great little town. My accountant was from there. He had a business in Scottsville. I am trying to remember his name. I sold him several H&K's over the year's. He was good friend's with Ken Boddeker at Wilderness Outfitter's in BG, back in the late 80's. I will remember the accountant's name(it will come to me). The name Scott comes to mind.

Now I remember, his name was Spurlock.

Is Matt Brewer at J&M Gun Shop still in business in BG. He was a real nice guy. I also sold him alot of stuff.

I also did a lot of business at Gamalial Supply. Garren and Faye were good friends of mine. There son Geoff is also a good guy. I think I spelled his name right. Tom.

RE: carrying a long gun in the truck
 
yes thats right,Gamaliel shooting supply is a great place,and I do remember the Spurlock accountant I went to school with a bunch of his family,I am suprised that you had been to scottsville,most people have never heard of it so I always just refer to Bowling Green since it is the nearest town of any size.PS we have added a few more stop lights since the 80's but not many,still a small town.Where are you at,I had a uncle in bluefield WV,but he is gone now,I hitch hiked from Whitesburg onetime because the bus broke down and it was gonna be a long wait,I beat my luggage home by a day.
