Ok, I'm now removing all items of value from my car!

 

I keep it on me all the time.

Usually under my left shoulder.



If you need to carry one you should allways have it with you.

 

You feel you have to carry a gun to have freedom? That's almost funny.

 

1. Problem is there are so many guns out there even the states where there's strong gun control laws they're running against the tide. What's to stop someone bringing a gun into the state from another state with few gun controls?
2. Lots of people with guns killing each other. There's more citizens than law enforcers so it's just basic maths. Still doesn't disguise the fact a lot of people are killed with guns.
3. No doubt the petty thief who actually values life would think twice before committing gun crime in one of those states.

At the end of the day there's still far too many people getting killed by guns (over here as well). Luckily, over here the problem is small as it's difficult to get hold of guns. Until the US do the same nothing will change. Banging on about it being "your right" doesn't actually make it "right".

I have to say, on my visits to the US, whenever I returned I felt a whole lot safer. I know we're far from perfect over here but just have a look back through this thread. Any sane person would see there's a big problem. Night sights, scopes, fully automatic weapons? Come on, why?

Mind you, I did enjoy being able to walk into a gun shop in Vegas and fire off some rounds of anything I chose. Scary to know anyone could walk in off the street and do it though.

 

I think the first thing you have to determine is purpose of the firearm. If you are going to the range, then putting it in the trunk is probably the most logical method of transportation. However, if it?s for self defense then it should be an arms length away. I prefer shoulder holster which I find to be the most comfortable method when sitting for a long period. I was contemplating riveting or screwing a leather holster under the dash by my right knee where it would be accessible and out of site, but have not committed to the idea. Nevertheless, I am defiantly against storing a gun in the car for any long period of time and IMHO I find that to be irresponsible, if some crack head steals my car the last thing I want to do is reward him with my 92FS.

 

Crazy stuff.
I can't believe so many have guns, but then again, if it's normal to have one and be allowed to carry it on your person then it's no surprise to have a topic on where best to keep the weapon in the car.
Personally, I am of the old belief that handgons are only designed to kill poeple, and nothing else.
The most anyone in Ireland will have for protection is bad breath or maybe a good joke to help the mood.
Then you die and go to the big Guinness Brewery in the sky and sit back and drink as much irish oil as you like.
Not all bad I guess ! Maybe I'll get murdered on the way home !
One can only hope.

 

The more the better....Here we go again!

I thought this thread had died a while ago.

 

Perhaps you could kill it

 

I didn't know E60 is gangster ride. It is a ghetto behaver to carry guns around.

 

For anyone interested here is a current article about what is going on in Georgia and the Atlanta airport regarding guns and "gun control".
