They make those trucks so you can drive with your hat on comfortably.

Nice set up

Very nice Jeremy!

Sorry Rick, I think Jeremy's setup has you beat.

That setup would work perfect in my 911. I've been having a hell of a time trying to find a good rear-window gunrack for that car. The window slant is so steep that every time I brake, the shotgun falls out of the rack.

Fortunately I am legal here in Va as long as they arn't loaded. That is what the 45acp under the seat is for. I installed the rack so it is easier to tote the long guns when I go shooting."

Well, if you get stopped by law enforcement you can take solace in being "legal but stupid - there is no way the cop can know they aren't loaded" while picking the pea gravel out of your face after being rolled onto the ground next to the highway and cuffed as a precaution.

Jim in what reality do you live? Lots of people have gun racks and don't have any of that nonsense happen to them.

Not where they are "handy for quick, nearly concealed action" and the cop can't see them until it is almost too late. Too many law enforcement personnel have been slaughtered during traffic stops; they are now appropriately very wary - as in take immediate, defensive action and ask questions later.

Losing a couple of lawsuits might cure them of that then. We have rights and being rolled around on the ground for nothing is not included in this.

I used to have a full gun-rack in my pickup and never, ever had a problem.

The only reason I don't have a rack now is that a rifle was stolen from my truck once. I decided a handgun in the console was better than a rifle in the window.

Of course, unlike NM, this is a Red state.

If a cop can't see the bolt opened on the Mosberg, and the slide pulled back on the 870, then he has no biz with a badge.
He opens my door I own him. There is no felony, there is no broken laws, there is no probable cause, therefore my vehicle is private property and subject to the same protection as my home.
It may not be your cup of tea, but it is mine. To call me stupid, without knowing all the facts, or the laws that govern my state is stepping just a tad out of bounds. You may think me stupid, but the other side of the coin is that I now find you to be ignorant.
Besides, what part of, I only carry the long guns when I go shooting did you not understand?

Jeromy,
Nice setup, I like.
