What’s your truck gun?

What’s everyone’s go-to truck gun? Here’s my temporary setup at the moment!

Is that setup even legal?

I believe it is, although not mine. What do you think is illegal about that?

I personally do not think that set up is legal in the Kommunist Republik unless you have a CCW.

I will relate an incident a couple months ago.
Going though some Redwood forests on the 101. Passed a couple of bikers while pulling a trailer. One bike was definitely having an issue going up a hill. And they did not take kindly to me passing them.
For 20 miles , they would come up on my tail and not pass me. High alert for me. I reached around and pulled my 9 case out. Locked and loaded it.

Those bikers followed me for 50+ miles. I know I was not legal being locked and loaded. But I was going to protect myself. They passed me in Ukiah then I passed them pulling over in Hopland .

I don’t care what the laws are, I will protect myself. Maybe they thought better of messing with a redneck driving a 2500. They finally passed me in Santa Rosa.

I agree, without a CCW, it can't be loaded in a vehicle, so it's useless. @alan said that's temporary, so not sure what his plans are.

An unloaded firearm is a useless firearm. I have several through out my house that are not useless. My wife knows it and I try to train her
Driveway alarm was going off. She knew to arm herself. I always say 911 is an hour away, they made it in 45.
I was 400 miles away and in contact with a Sherrif that lives up the road. He was going to send his kids down to check until I let him know she was armed .
We let LEO handle it. Driveway alarm ($40)finally bit the big one after 6 years.

You can’t be more safe than sorry.

Appreciate y'all! Just to clarify, this is only a temporary setup, and I’m just using it for quick grocery runs. I definitely don’t want to get caught up in anything serious. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

But yeah, @Eastenerwesterner is right, better be safe than sorry!

Why is that unsafe, though? There are a number of door holsters similar to how you have that mounted.

You already admitted that without a CCW it it probably illegal in the Kommunist Republik

I am just trying to keep people safe from the convoluted laws in this state.

That is to have it loaded in the vehicle.

I think it depends on the county a lot. In Lake County, they're less likely to site someone for that. I think there is just less chance in general of getting pulled over.

I do want to get a CCW, if nothing else but to be able to transport a loaded firearm. Basically if we make our firearms useless we can carry them in our vehicles unloaded. I don't make the laws, I just try to follow them.

It’s really about keeping a loaded firearm in a spot that might move around while you’re driving or could be grabbed unexpectedly. I know there are holsters made for doors and things like that but I just don’t want to take any chances, even if it seems like a quick and easy solution for short trips.

If you want to get a CCW, why haven’t you?
