As a former Deputy 99.7% of the time "stolen" guns from vehicles were from UNLOCKED vehicles. Not from smashed windows. Please carry, and please lock your vehicle doors.
People aren’t using those keys to break in and steal property out of the vehicle, they use them to steal the car in its entirety. And they aren’t universal they work for a few cars that should’ve been recalled due to having an alarm system that could be easily compromised.

Agree 100% on all the gun bumper stickers etc. I love guns, guns are a big part of my life, also like 5 people in my world know that I have guns. Advertising it is pretty idiotic.
My dad told me stickers on my car can make the resale value decrease. I never knew if that was true or not, but I definitely don't want someone knowing who I am by my bumper stickers.
When I was a kid I remember the cowboy high school kids parking their pick up trucks with their "going into town" rifle hanging on their rear window rack in the high school parking lot. Nobody batted an eye.
We used to have our hunting rifles in the back window of our trucks in high school for hunting after school was never a problem in Washington state crap not now they would call police on you as soon as they could say you were pointing it at them and red flag laws would come in to affect trust me it’s been done a lot we have a bunch. Bunch of people who love to have that power over you
Yep! Grew up in the northern Plains. Male teachers would even come out to look at a new rifle or shotgun if one of us had one. Not to confiscate but to admire it. I did a demonstration speech in 8th grade on cleaning the Ruger 10/22. Simpler times...

I’ve been a gun guy since I was a kid. Grew up shooting, even worked at my local gun shop for a few years. I have been carrying since I was 21 and I have NEVER made it obvious to anyone that I am a “gun guy.” I highly doubt anyone would look at me and think, “that guy has a pistol, spare mag, tourniquet, pepper spray, and knife on him.” I wear fairly fitted clothes too, but investing in a good carry rig and staying in shape goes a long way. My car has a hidden compartment that I keep a gun, but it also doesn’t look like a “gun guy’s” car
After purchasing a new truck, I immediately installed a Lock-R-Down gun vault. I work in and around Atlanta. And its a great peace of mind, knowing my gun (& stuff) is secure when left in the vehicle. They make rifle boxes too!
I EDC and have for almost 40 years but with the atmosphere out there lately I have a truck gun handy in my vehicle. It's a long gun and it was easier to hide than might be suspected. That being said I had a choice of a lever action rifle or a shotgun. Well, the shotgun got the nod because of the legal problems of an engagements over 50 feet away and the range of a rifle in a urban environment so my Mossberg 590 with a 18.5" plain barrel with a full length tube mag of #4 buck and a 6 shot sidesaddle with slugs goes with me wherever. It's a sad state of affairs and a really poor comment on our Country that we have to resort to these measures but I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
There are not any legal problems in a fire fight, that BS goes right out the window. If youre being shot at, and want to live, you need the right tool for the job. You need to be able to put down a threat in a hurry. In your case, well pray your attacker is closer than 20 yards,in which case youll probably die anyway.
Only thing truck guns are good for is getting stolen. I’ve been carrying truck guns for 15 years and I’ve never used it for it’s intended purpose and have had 2 stolen.. doesn’t matter if it’s concealed in the vehicle or not, these thieves can get in your vehicle rip completely through it and be gone on like 2 minutes..
To each his own. I've never felt the need to EDC or to have a 'truck gun' though if that's what someone wants to do I don't have an issue with it. Yeah, I know you can't predict the future & you never know what could happen but the odds are that most people will never be in a situation where they'll need to resort to using a firearm in public.

Could probably have mentioned "secure your crap" in the event your vehicle rolls over or your're in a crash. If its just laying in the back, it could be a projectile toward your head.
the other thing is what if you're incapacitated and it's just there... at least if it's on your body, it will hopefully stay there and anyone who finds it will hopefully be trying to render aid and wouldn't take it or harm you with it
I use to keep mine under my center console. I got into a wreck a few months ago from a mustang losing control in a race and i had to be cut out of my truck and life flighted. Somehow they found my guns and brought it to my house after i got out of the hospital and it had mud on it. Soo I’m assuming it might have flown out of the truck. My truck didn’t roll btw.
I know someone who lost a leg because there was a hatchet in the back seat. He got in a head on collision and it came through the gap in the seat and got his femoral artery.
I was in the unfortunate self defense shooting in which I deployed my “truck” gun and terminated the threat. One piece of advice I can give is what ever firearms you have/use along with gear in any given situation(when it’s within the lawful use) all that stuff will be taken from you and stay in a evidence locker for a year or more(in my case).
When I was a teen, a truck gun might have been one you put on a rifle rack in your pickup. They were out in plain sight to brag you were a hunter. They often had a .30-06.
When I was kid lots of the pickups parked at our area high schools had rifles and or shotguns in the back window mounted on racks. I doubt that’s the case nowadays. I really wouldn’t know because it’s been decades since I’ve been anywhere near a high school parking lot. I am referring to Idaho and it may have been a completely different situation other places.

@@sweetdrahthaar7951 Exact same for me. 1970's and if underage the cops would take your beer, couldn't care less about the gun in your truck. Times have changed and not for the better.
For me, it depends on the area, in rural Georgia, I find a certain comfort in seeing trucks full of gun stickers. It makes me feel like we still have hope. But once I’m in Atlanta , I’m not driving around with Daniel defense stickers.
Ive been keeping a 16" AR10 (and body armor) behind the back seat of my truck since the Furguson riots. This stuff gets real when it happens a couple hours from where you live.
When I was working at a car dealership. I think I came across a gun in a customers car about once every 2 -3 months. Sometimes twice a week. And some of them had the stickers advertising the fact.
Matt from Demolition Ranch should have been a guest on this episode. He has an F350 and all the world knows he is a gun enthusiast and he carries his rifles in his truck. His truck got broken into, via the flaw in the door handle, and they took his laptop and a few other things but apparently they did not take his hidden rifle because it was hidden and the thief didn't know whose truck it was until they probably looked as his laptop.
Good video y'all, good points about security in general. I dont like leaving a gun in my vehicle, but on long trips across the US I do have a good marlin 94 for general purpose use. Out of sight mind you. It is easy to load due to storing it unloaded. On your topic of blankets, in the midwest, especially in winter, it's always a good idea to have some blankets, high calorie snack bars, water, and some basic first aid incase you get stuck a ways from society... could be a day until people get to you. Sometimes these things are more important than having a gun.
I would strongly advise carrying a few long-burn candles as well (cold weather emergency kit in your car). A simple candle may surprise you with how well it can heat a small space (be it inside a small tent or inside the cab of a truck or car).
The times have definitely changed, where grew up every truck you saw had a gun rack in the back window with a shotgun and some old lever action year round, haven't seen that in atleast 10 years
I keep all of my guns in my conversion van. Its a 1986 ford converted by good times vans. 4x4 with a supercharged 351, 300 gallons of fuel, interior lined with 9 layers of kevlar, and run flat tires. There are two solenoid operated AKs under each bumper and flame throwers mounted under both the drivers and drinkers side doors. There is a coexist bumper sticker on the back.
I use an 11.5” AR and bought a backpack that has a dedicated rifle sleeve that will accommodate up to 36” rifle. It’s stocked with all kinds of goodies. First aid, mags, clothes, food, large knife, water filter, etc. This is for a worst case scenario where I have to pack the gun and walk. Accident, breakdown, riot, or any other unknown reason.
Grey man principle applies here. No stickers or any other crap on my car. I drive a silver nondescript crossover. My vehicle gun is a 10.5 Aero Precision kiss build with a light, sling & irons. It & a bandolier with 3 extra mags are kept in a Wilson tennis racket bag. Medical is in a separate container secured in the back.
With all them camera angles, I just realized you two dudes have the exact same glasses! Never even noticed it with just the one angle, even though now I can't unsee it from any angle lol.
Plus one for a blow out kit. My brother in law was saved from bleeding out after a freeway motorcycle crash (not his fault) by a passerby (nurse in training) who applied a tourniquet to his severed leg.
I can remember gun racks in truck rear windows .If you were to drive around most communities nowadays with 4 ARs racked up in the back for the world to see....the reaction from some folks would be hilarious to watch. They would also be stolen after a couple days.
I know here in ohio I've never seen that yet but I remember being in Texas in 2009 and it seemed like every other truck had a gun rack haha haven't been back since so I don't know what it's like now

Every so often I will pick a few of them up at a thrift store. I look for ones that could have been made by someone's actual grandmother. Another great place to get such things are penny socials or turkey parties or Christmas parties at your local fire station or wherever such events are held. My grandfather was a volunteer firefighter for 42 years and my grandmother, of course, was on the Ladies Auxiliary. It was always nice to help them set things up and tear things down at the events throughout the year, plus the raffles are always exciting. Another unique bonus to be had from all this is all the different amazing food they would make, as well as all the recipes that they often got from their grandmothers or great great grandmothers from 100 years prior. I've got one large Rolodex full of what I call "Firehouse Recipes", that I've gathered from such events throughout my area.
Man I thought there was something wrong with me, but I try to be aware of every situation I'm in where I'm at or whatever the case may be. And the first time I seen the handle of a glock sticking out between a seat, I was like yep that'll be gone eventually. Great video as always yall!!!

I @@JBWorkshop90 No sense having a pistol weighting you down when there's a rifle ten feet away in the truck. Pistols are for horseback, because a rifle scabbard can be a pain in the @ss and not worth it unless it's actually hunting season.

I tend to agree. I think a handgun gives most people enough standoff capability for most situations. I wouldn't have another firearm in the vehicle unless I could take it with me every time I left the vehicle. Last time I checked, they still take the whole vehicle some times. I'd be willing if it were just having to put it in and take it out every time I come and go from the house, but obviously that doesn't work for all points in-between, and what if you have car trouble or something?
@@austinhuber3131 champion the solution, not the problem. Stolen firearms are the number one way criminals get firearms to use in violent crimes. Their acts of violence are the number one reason anti-gunners use to influence voters to support gun control legislation. Become part of the solution, not part of the problem. Don't wait until your firearm becomes stolen to change complacency into deliberate security practices. Or worse yet, a loved one becomes a victim at the hands if a violent criminal with a (or your) stolen firearm.
@@richardthomas6602 Bullshit. Anti-gunners use rare events like mass shootings to push their politics. Those are typically done by legally-purchased firearms. The last thing anti-gunners want to do is call attention to stolen guns used in ordinary gang crime, because they don't want to talk about the kinds of people who are in those gangs, or the kinds of places those gangs are doing drive-bys with stolen guns, or the kinds of policies that created those conditions. When's the last time you heard a politician talk about a shooting that involved a gun stolen out of some random person's car? If they do talk about a crime committed with a stolen gun, it was almost always stolen from an immediate relative, out of a safe in the home where the shooter lived. So you might as well argue people shouldn't keep guns in safes in their homes.
I can't give up my Tru-Spec 24/7 shorts though. I was into the 5.11 ones for a while, but at least for me, these work so much better. Pretty much always in that and a Columbia or similar lightweight, quick-dry shirt. Don't think the shorts scream gun like pants might. Another important consideration - footwear you can actually run in. Goes double for women.
@ 2:12 That harkened back to your Gun Gripes Episode concerning being a "Low Key Operator". I took it to heart and stopped dressing so "tacticool" all the time.
I have a tactical "mom's demand action" sticker on my truck.🤣 No one is gonna think I've got the heat under the seat with that that bad boy on the window!
I recently left my truck parked for 5 days in a parking garage. The only thing visible from the windows was some miscellaneous garbage. Everything else that was left in the truck was out of sight. In addition when I got it I found there was storage space that wasn't easily accessible behind the crew cab rear seat. I bought an accessory that allows me to open that space easily. It is about 2/3 the width of the truck, and ranges from 3 inches wide to about 7 or 8 inches. Great space for emergency gear.
A very short semi/pump shotgun, 7.5"Suppressed .300 blackout, 16" 5.7 or 9mm. I want small enough to maneuver in a vehicle door/window. A bulpup design would be optimal, full barrel length in a short maneuverable package. I would like a mp7 or something similar. All the barrel length without all the extra stock length.
Good video guys its something that needs to be brought up from time to time. I remember an article I read a couple weeks ago and it was about the rise in firearm theft from police cars. So you know if people are willing to break into a cop car and steal guns that are normally in a locked rack they'll definitely break into the average persons car and steal theirs as well. Something as simple as just leaving it out of sight under the back seat or in the center console/glove box is a 100× better then leaving them out in the open.
the lock picking lawyer has some videos featuring police gun racks. it's ridiculous how easy they are to bypass, most of them can be opened with a magnet.
@@justindunlap1235 yeah that was the 1st time I heard about that probably a year or 2 ago but it seems like it happens in cycles or at least reporting on it... On the Guns America UA-cam channel they showed how you could just take the gun apart in the gun rack to slip it out with very little force and time... but the vast majority of them can be bypassed with a magnet like you mentioned or shimming the ratchet latch faster then using a key which is pretty scary.

As a family of avid trap shooters, when my son grew out of his youth model Remington 870 in 20 guage, I put a collapsable stock on it and made it my truck gun instead of selling it. Works great.
Plasters the truck rear window with NRA and skull punisher stickers. Truck gets broken into one day and truck gun stolen. **Omg...I never expected that to happen**
My beater with a heater has a small safe bolted to the floor of the back passenger compartment. It's useful for not only securing my firearm but also for workplaces where firearms are not permitted, even in vehicles. You can't search what you can't open.

West Virginia has a law against carrying loaded long guns in or on any conveyance, they classify a loaded long gun as if a loaded detachable magazine is in the gun but no round in the chamber then it is considered loaded, same thing with a tubular magazine. It is a bogus hunting law, anyone who is caught with a loaded long gun and a flashlight in their vehicle is automatically assumed to be poaching and will get a poaching charge as well. Oh and our dNr do not need a warrant to search your property or your person. Which is a reason why they are unfit to exist.
DNR absolutely cannot search without warrants, probable cause, etc. But they THINK they can, they have been TAUGHT they can and have everyone COVINCED they can. No way in hell does a local game warden have more search and seizure power than the FBI, DEA, Sheriff's Dept. or town cops. They need their @@s sued off and then they'll knock it off. Worked in my state.
I grew up in WV and everybody had a long gun hanging in the back glass of their pickup. Life was different in those days. People were more honest, and Democrats and Republicans were much closer in their beliefs and their love for America.
Definitely use my Sub2000 as my vehicle gun. I’ve got a few decals on my truck but nothing firearm related, or political. I need zero extra attention on me. I’m constantly in “Grey Man” mode
I truly despise those stickers you see on SUVs and minivans that depict every member of the family in a line. In my opinion, that's just bad mojo. While the odds of something happening are quite low, it draws attention that should be avoided to begin with. Sadly, many people just don't understand they're advertising to criminals of all types with those stickers and or signs on their front lawn with the family name instead of just the house number.
I am old school. Like 8888 said, a good old shotgun is a terrific truck gun. Because of our laws, I can’t always have a truck gun with me. But when the conditions allow, a Winchester SXP Defender secured properly but with easy access is nice to have. Especially in remote locations arriving back to our RV. You never know what you are going to run into. It is also easy to justify a shotgun in our jurisdiction, especially when you keep a few rubber bullet cartridges and bear banger shells in addition to some 00 buck. With those rounds handy it will be assumed that your primary purpose is bear/dog/ coyote protection.
Maybe I missed it, but I love the new side cameras. The cuts to close ups make your great videos even better. This video makes me wanna invest in a new “truck” gun
I don't think its so much the criminals have gotten so brazen as the politicians have made the laws such that you can not protect your property. If those criminals thought for one second that someone was going to come out and shoot them dead, they would think twice and go and get a job. Just my thoughts.
@@rayditzenberger9517 I could not agree more. But I’m my state that does not mean I can shoot the guy breaking into my truck whether present or not.

I have a Gun Gripe gun gripe. I'm tired of everybody claiming "you want the element of surprise" or you that you need it in a defense situation. Its blatantly false. People attack cops and civilians knowing they are armed all the time in the exact same way as they do when they don't know. If anything somebody might choose to not do the deed whether its looting or attacking if they think the person is armed. If you have data to show people break in to cars more often with pro 2A stuff on them I'd like to see that.
People that attack cops have the intent to kill. Most civilian attacks are for robbing. If you're open carrying a 1911 on your hip, some idiot can come put a Glock in your face and take your weapon and your wallet. If you were concealed carrying, they might not expect you to grab your weapon while pretending to grab your wallet. The element of surprise definitely makes a difference.
@@dimains6011 I don't see cops being held up to steal their guns and the same would be said for a civilians openly carrying.

I personally carry a Glock in a chassis with a Red dot that folds small enough to go in the console because with my work equipment I have my back seat always folded up so no good place to hide a rifle/shotgun. With a chassis you can extend the range of a handgun to be pretty well equipped in most situations. I see it as if that won’t do the job then I probably have the opportunity to GTFO of that situation.

I EDC and have for almost 40 years but with the atmosphere out there lately I have a truck gun handy in my vehicle. It's a long gun and it was easier to hide than might be suspected. That being said I had a choice of a lever action rifle or a shotgun. Well, the shotgun got the nod because of the legal problems of an engagements over 50 feet away and the range of a rifle in a urban environment so my Mossberg 590 with a 18.5" plain barrel with a full length tube mag of #4 buck and a 6 shot sidesaddle with slugs goes with me wherever. It's a sad state of affairs and a really poor comment on our Country that we have to resort to these measures but I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
There are not any legal problems in a fire fight, that BS goes right out the window. If youre being shot at, and want to live, you need the right tool for the job. You need to be able to put down a threat in a hurry. In your case, well pray your attacker is closer than 20 yards,in which case youll probably die anyway.
@@blueduck9409 laughs like the Kenosha kid at your 20 yard remark
Only thing truck guns are good for is getting stolen. I’ve been carrying truck guns for 15 years and I’ve never used it for it’s intended purpose and have had 2 stolen.. doesn’t matter if it’s concealed in the vehicle or not, these thieves can get in your vehicle rip completely through it and be gone on like 2 minutes..
LET's GO BRANDON!
To each his own. I've never felt the need to EDC or to have a 'truck gun' though if that's what someone wants to do I don't have an issue with it. Yeah, I know you can't predict the future & you never know what could happen but the odds are that most people will never be in a situation where they'll need to resort to using a firearm in public.
My truck gun is the Tippman 9mm Gatling gun shown in my avatar. Mounted to the bed. Life is good.

Black padded uhaul style shipping blankets work well as truck gear, many many uses, and unbelievable warm if needed.

For surviving the cold a good wool military surplus blanket can be a life saver. Moving blanket works in a pinch too, but there is no replacement for wool.
@Remington Steel any color moving/padding blanket. A lot of people say the yellow or orange are better; in the case of an accident you can be high vis and warm or you can use it as a better signal for traffic
Could probably have mentioned "secure your crap" in the event your vehicle rolls over or your're in a crash. If its just laying in the back, it could be a projectile toward your head.
the other thing is what if you're incapacitated and it's just there... at least if it's on your body, it will hopefully stay there and anyone who finds it will hopefully be trying to render aid and wouldn't take it or harm you with it
I use to keep mine under my center console. I got into a wreck a few months ago from a mustang losing control in a race and i had to be cut out of my truck and life flighted. Somehow they found my guns and brought it to my house after i got out of the hospital and it had mud on it. Soo I’m assuming it might have flown out of the truck. My truck didn’t roll btw.

I was in the unfortunate self defense shooting in which I deployed my “truck” gun and terminated the threat. One piece of advice I can give is what ever firearms you have/use along with gear in any given situation(when it’s within the lawful use) all that stuff will be taken from you and stay in a evidence locker for a year or more(in my case).
Factual. I had to dispatch a would be armed robber at a Waffle House in GA 10ish years ago. I got my Glock 23 back after about a year and a half.

When I was a teen, a truck gun might have been one you put on a rifle rack in your pickup. They were out in plain sight to brag you were a hunter. They often had a .30-06.
Good ole days, I'll take people bragging about being a hunter over theft and mischief haha
When I was kid lots of the pickups parked at our area high schools had rifles and or shotguns in the back window mounted on racks. I doubt that’s the case nowadays.

On your topic of blankets, in the midwest, especially in winter, it's always a good idea to have some blankets, high calorie snack bars, water, and some basic first aid incase you get stuck a ways from society... could be a day until people get to you. Sometimes these things are more important than having a gun.
Facts
What's a marlin 94?
I would strongly advise carrying a few long-burn candles as well (cold weather emergency kit in your car). A simple candle may surprise you with how well it can heat a small space (be it inside a small tent or inside the cab of a truck or car).

As an owner of a Jeep with a soft top, I’m used to coming up with unique ways of hiding valuables. I really like the granny blanket idea though!
Every so often I will pick a few of them up at a thrift store. I look for ones that could have been made by someone's actual grandmother.
Another great place to get such things are penny socials or turkey parties or Christmas parties at your local fire station or wherever such events are held.
My grandfather was a volunteer firefighter for 42 years and my grandmother, of course, was on the Ladies Auxiliary. It was always nice to help them set things up and tear things down at the events throughout the year, plus the raffles are always exciting.
Another unique bonus to be had from all this is all the different amazing food they would make, as well as all the recipes that they often got from their grandmothers or great great grandmothers from 100 years prior. I've got one large Rolodex full of what I call "Firehouse Recipes", that I've gathered from such events throughout my area.

I tend to agree. I think a handgun gives most people enough standoff capability for most situations. I wouldn't have another firearm in the vehicle unless I could take it with me every time I left the vehicle. Last time I checked, they still take the whole vehicle some times. I'd be willing if it were just having to put it in and take it out every time I come and go from the house, but obviously that doesn't work for all points in-between, and what if you have car trouble or something?
Leaving a firearm in a vehicle overnight is not a good idea.
Good way to arm the person that is about to break into your house or your neighbors house. Vehicles are not a secure place to store anything.
I've done it for years
@@austinhuber3131 champion the solution, not the problem. Stolen firearms are the number one way criminals get firearms to use in violent crimes. Their acts of violence are the number one reason anti-gunners use to influence voters to support gun control legislation. Become part of the solution, not part of the problem. Don't wait until your firearm becomes stolen to change complacency into deliberate security practices. Or worse yet, a loved one becomes a victim at the hands if a violent criminal with a (or your) stolen firearm.
@@richardthomas6602 The number of stolen firearms is a fraction of gun related crime, so off of your soap box you go.
@@richardthomas6602 Bullshit. Anti-gunners use rare events like mass shootings to push their politics. Those are typically done by legally-purchased firearms. The last thing anti-gunners want to do is call attention to stolen guns used in ordinary gang crime, because they don't want to talk about the kinds of people who are in those gangs, or the kinds of places those gangs are doing drive-bys with stolen guns, or the kinds of policies that created those conditions. When's the last time you heard a politician talk about a shooting that involved a gun stolen out of some random person's car? If they do talk about a crime committed with a stolen gun, it was almost always stolen from an immediate relative, out of a safe in the home where the shooter lived. So you might as well argue people shouldn't keep guns in safes in their homes.

I was like when they start that
I recently left my truck parked for 5 days in a parking garage. The only thing visible from the windows was some miscellaneous garbage. Everything else that was left in the truck was out of sight. In addition when I got it I found there was storage space that wasn't easily accessible behind the crew cab rear seat. I bought an accessory that allows me to open that space easily. It is about 2/3 the width of the truck, and ranges from 3 inches wide to about 7 or 8 inches. Great space for emergency gear.
Multiple camera angles edited together. I like the look.
A very short semi/pump shotgun, 7.5"Suppressed .300 blackout, 16" 5.7 or 9mm. I want small enough to maneuver in a vehicle door/window. A bulpup design would be optimal, full barrel length in a short maneuverable package. I would like a mp7 or something similar. All the barrel length without all the extra stock length.
Good video guys its something that needs to be brought up from time to time. I remember an article I read a couple weeks ago and it was about the rise in firearm theft from police cars. So you know if people are willing to break into a cop car and steal guns that are normally in a locked rack they'll definitely break into the average persons car and steal theirs as well. Something as simple as just leaving it out of sight under the back seat or in the center console/glove box is a 100× better then leaving them out in the open.
the lock picking lawyer has some videos featuring police gun racks. it's ridiculous how easy they are to bypass, most of them can be opened with a magnet.
@@justindunlap1235 yeah that was the 1st time I heard about that probably a year or 2 ago but it seems like it happens in cycles or at least reporting on it... On the Guns America UA-cam channel they showed how you could just take the gun apart in the gun rack to slip it out with very little force and time... but the vast majority of them can be bypassed with a magnet like you mentioned or shimming the ratchet latch faster then using a key which is pretty scary.

West Virginia has a law against carrying loaded long guns in or on any conveyance, they classify a loaded long gun as if a loaded detachable magazine is in the gun but no round in the chamber then it is considered loaded, same thing with a tubular magazine. It is a bogus hunting law, anyone who is caught with a loaded long gun and a flashlight in their vehicle is automatically assumed to be poaching and will get a poaching charge as well.

I am old school. Like 8888 said, a good old shotgun is a terrific truck gun. Because of our laws, I can’t always have a truck gun with me. But when the conditions allow, a Winchester SXP Defender secured properly but with easy access is nice to have. Especially in remote locations arriving back to our RV. You never know what you are going to run into. It is also easy to justify a shotgun in our jurisdiction, especially when you keep a few rubber bullet cartridges and bear banger shells in addition to some 00 buck. With those rounds handy it will be assumed that your primary purpose is bear/dog/ coyote protection.
Secured at all times your fire arms. And change you gun ammo every three months, humidity plays heck on vehicle ammo.

I’m super low key, bone stock car with minor clear coat issues, but I always keep my ar-15 in the trunk with 10 mags of green tip at the ready.
Don’t call attention to yourself.
I dont think it being in the trunk is at the ready becuase when u have to run to go get it then it can end bad for u
I have a Gun Gripe gun gripe. I'm tired of everybody claiming "you want the element of surprise" or you that you need it in a defense situation. Its blatantly false. People attack cops and civilians knowing they are armed all the time in the exact same way as they do when they don't know. If anything somebody might choose to not do the deed whether its looting or attacking if they think the person is armed. If you have data to show people break in to cars more often with pro 2A stuff on them I'd like to see that.
People that attack cops have the intent to kill. Most civilian attacks are for robbing. If you're open carrying a 1911 on your hip, some idiot can come put a Glock in your face and take your weapon and your wallet. If you were concealed carrying, they might not expect you to grab your weapon while pretending to grab your wallet. The element of surprise definitely makes a difference.
@@dimains6011 I don't see cops being held up to steal their guns and the same would be said for a civilians openly carrying. Cops have also not gone completely undercover because they stand no chance without the element of surprise. I think being a hidden gun owner is for social reasons and tactics are an excuse. Can you see some negatives coming from most gun owners being in the closet gun owners?
@@illidur I don't think you've seen enough videos of deadly encounters. I recommend Active Self Protection. He commentates on scenarios caught on video and gives tips for self defense. There are a lot of crazy people out there
@@dimains6011 Dimains, Commentates? Really? How about comments, the past tense of comment? Spell much? By your standards, a commentater is an everyday tater, not an unusual tater. I kind of prefer baked taters, smothered in butter, salt, and pepper. 😂

Keltech 2000 is perfect truck gun
Guys I got a tell ya . My Brother served 25 years army starting in Panama. Retired. But he still far away . These chats are exactly what we do . Survival . This show let's me feel like hes here. Thank you for your service. Friends !
I personally carry a Glock in a chassis with a Red dot that folds small enough to go in the console because with my work equipment I have my back seat always folded up so no good place to hide a rifle/shotgun. With a chassis you can extend the range of a handgun to be pretty well equipped in most situations. I see it as if that won’t do the job then I probably have the opportunity to GTFO of that situation.
What is the chassis? CAA MCK? I am interested in one for my G21 - I am not familiar with any others - thanks in advance 👍🏻
@@jeffroberts760 yes sir. I think its the closest thing to an actual carbine without a tax stamp. great quality. mine has held up very nice and the red dot holds zero. I was worried it being poly and all but its sturdy. a bit pricey but I do not feel I was scammed and would buy another if they made one for the Glock 40
@@TrippyWheelsEnduro thank you, they are very cool - does it make you more accurate further out or does it just help speed up follow up shots on target or both?
@@jeffroberts760 it helps with both.
Due to this video blankets at Walmart are disappearing faster than they can stock them! Lol
Complacency kills. The truck guns get left in the truck with all the gun stickers on the back window. We know what happens next. JimmyJack starts making excuses for his own stupidity after getting robbed. My own friend, for example, was taking his truck in for service. I asked if he grabbed his gun. "Oh yea."
This is exactly why I recommend not having any stickers or veteran plates. You make yourself a target. Every day I see people with pro gun stickers 3%ers and their hobbies plastered all over their vehicle. Screaming I have guns and expensive shit. Not saying these people are morons but, yes they are. When I was in the military they said to be inconspicuous.
As a mechanic when I worked for other shops, I'd always get customers in that just left their gun(s)out in the open and a few guns I've found inside the dash that they though they lost years ago lol. My procedure now at my own shop is clear the weapon, put mag and gun in a zip lock and tag it then make the customer come back and get it.
@@funwithmagnus8570 good man.
