Gun in your Car?

DVDA · 12-09-2009, 02:00 AM

For those that live in states were possession of a firearm is legal, do you have a firearm in your car?

If so what kind?

Where did you place? (in center console, tapped to dash, under seat etc.)

Please exercise your Fifth Amendment rights if you live in a state where possession of a hand gun is legal, or you are not lawfully allowed to be in possession of a firearm because of lack of license and/or prior felonies

Don't have any of mine in the car because I live in CA, so its pretty much pointless, plus all I have are large rifles lol. I've got an M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, Springfield Model 1903, and then a couple of .22 L/R's. I'm in the market for an HK USP .45, and I'd like to get my hands on a SA Model 1911 GI .45, and a Sig 220 or 250.

Nice gun, I have a Colt 1911A1 it is amazing. One thing that happens though is if you dont squeeze the grip tight enough the gun will jam because of safety at butt of grip

When i say Jam i dont mean wont fire cause of safety, I mean the round fires but the shell doesnt eject probably cause I wasnt holding it tight enough

I have an AR-15 and a Glock 17.

The Glock's usually on me though when I'm carrying, don't really store guns in the car.

DVDA · 12-09-2009, 02:44 AM

I have a P27 .40 Baby Glock, I dont like it. I am not a fan of guns without slide safeties

Isn't california gun law like your firearm must be locked in a container in your trunk? How useful is that going to be lol..

Doesn't have to be in a container if I remember correctly, just be in the trunk or whatever and the ammo has to be separate or something. CA gun laws are stupid, if you read the literature, assault rifles are banned because they essentially look scary and intimidating. There is no law against caliber of weapon, but heaven forbid it have a pistol grip!

Your talking about "limp-wristing", and yes alot of .45's need to be held firmly otherwise you will get FTE's (Faliure to Eject).

Think about it. High crime rate. Most crimes are performed with a gun. see where I'm going?

If a criminal is caught with a gun the prosecution then has 1 more law they can tack on to the list if charges thus keeping the criminal locked up for maybe a month longer

Indeed, car jacking (meaning gun to face "get out of car") and home "Robberies" (not Burglary) are pretty low in Florida, why?

Because thugs know that if they are going to break into a house they better be certain no one is home; because they know 1 out of 4 chance the owner will have a gone and they will be shot.

Same with a car, there is always that risk that the car owner can shoot you. (less of a risk than house tho)

Next time you go out shooting, let me know! I only have a PX4 Storm 9, but would love to go....it's been a while!

Carry a small bat.

fdsasdasdf · 12-09-2009, 12:56 PM

Yeah, ever since I saw that BMW video I basically wanted to carry a gun in my car. There are scary people on the road

Not a good idea, period. You never know who you're messing with, what if the person you were trying to scare has a firearm themselves?

Hypothetically speaking, If I were carrying a pistol with me in the car and some dude tried to "scare" me by wielding a firearm and pointing it at me, I'd take the time to practice a failure drill(two in the chest, one in the head or pelvic area for you non-military type) on said person. Definitely would not take my chances in today's society. It would stand in court too because I was acting in self defense in fear for my life.

Hell, if you wanna fuck with a tailgater or "fast and furious" racer, dial 911, give them your location and direction of travel and report the person as a drunk driver. Be sure to give them all the car details as well.

I've actually never been shooting up in Sac, I just moved here in august, but I'm down to go. I can bring my M1 at the very least, I'm working on acquiring a sage intl. stock with rail mounts so I can attach all sorts of neat technology to it.

If I had a weapon, why would I want to tell you where it is?
