Eric you look 10 years younger and in good shape, Keep on doing what you're doing!!!
You god damn right... i was watching old vids and now looks better then ever
I was thinking the same thing.
He's embraced what he was I tended to be u can tell hrs quiet and southern accent thatd be hard for me to do meet n greets too. But is what it is lol I agree he looks 10 years younger like when I subscribed when he was out the army lol
What are you doing to get in shape Eric ?
Eric looks like he's combat shape. Looking good MyGuy
The old adage that a pistol is only a tool to get you to your long gun is still true in today’s world.
It has always been true, sure the pistol could get the job done but when in doubt always have a shotgun and/or rifle that you can get to or are moving towards.
Better to have the big guns and not need them then to need it and not have it.
And it'll always be true until they make the laser pistols. They keep talking about it, but we'll see. Man, I can't wait for the laser pistols.
@@mitchellbryars9338 best of all, no brass to police up!
@@eddiemurray55 oh, they'll find a way. High capacity laser mags. Will they even be called mags? Who knows
Especially when the guns are shorter, why only let the bad guy carry a rifle caliber pistol. And be under prepared.
I live in a small town in Florida and 20 year ago I used to be able to go to town with 2 guns in my back window of my truck with the windows down and nobody would even consider taking them. But not anymore the state of are country nowadays is sad to see.
I leave my rifle in the back window sometimes. If they can get past the cur dog they can have the rifle.
It would certainly be fun to watch.
Same here in WNC had rifles in our windows in high school 2002 no one cared
Last time I was this early, someone’s Mom was really upset!
So many ways to interpret this statement...
This checks✔️out👌🏻
😂🤣😂🤣😂😳😳😳
Don't forget you raincoat buckaroos..... bahaaaaaaa 😎
Yours? ; )
Before a tornado took our RV, we did a bunch of exploring in the Deep South (Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, etc.). Got into some pretty secluded and remote areas. Never ever ran into ANYONE but the kindest, friendliest and most helpful locals. However it was so comforting to have long guns at the ready, just in case. If you need, you have. If you don't, just bring them home and NEXT!
Great thoughtful content!!!!!!!!!!!
I know that feeling if going through wooded farmland. The seclusion is unnerving, especially at night. The people were nice, but the idea that they couldn't be while I was over 100 miles from home, on my own, with only 2 mags of .45, had me wishing I'd brought more.
That is why a truck gun and a sidearm with several mags is so much more comforting and poses no threat to anyone that is not a threat to you.
A strong zip lock bag or another pouch with 200 rnds of .45 stashed in the vehicle, can be most comforting!!!
@@alastor8091 Yeah, the best way to keep a long gun hidden in a vehicle is to get one that has a folding stock and a carbine length barrel. Guns like an AK with a side folding stock or a Kel Tec SU-16C 5.56. Both guns can be fired while the stock is folded if you need to deploy them quickly. And most importantly, if you break down and have to abandon your vehicle, you can throw either gun inside a hiking pack and take them with you without anyone knowing what you are carrying. A regular AR can be broken down to do this as well, but can't be quickly deployed for use. But any other rifle is going to stand out in its case if you try to carry it with you on foot. This is why I think guns like an AK side folder or SU-16C are worth their weight in gold as road guns.
So for me, I keep a shotgun in the back seat of my suv. I don’t leave any of my guns in my car though, I pack out my shotgun in a duffel bag or back pack. I have my shotgun set up to fit in my bag. I pack it in and pack it out.
Only way to do it
Same
That's great thinking. A duffle bag is definitely long enough to do that. Another trick is to use a bass guitar soft case. You can line it with cardboard to stiffen it a bit. But a duffle bag is probably better because if your neighbors see you with a guitar bag they'll probably start asking you about your musical ability, etc. A duffle bag won't garner any attention.
When I was growing up every truck had a long gun in the back glass an we brought them to school . Sad things have changed so much..
Just what I was thinking. My parents and uncles all had rifle racks in the back window.
I’m for carrying long guns, but like you said “take it with you!” Don’t leave firearms in unattended vehicles! That’s the number one way bad guys get guns!
There's definitely a counterpoint to be made about vehicles with +2a decals being more likely targets in a cold robbery/B&E. If thieves are picking out a vehicle to rob in a sea of parked cars, as you described, the: "I don't dial 911 I dial .357", probably avoids the jimmy, even dirtbag tweekers cherish life. That being said, I agree decals go on gun safes, cases and tool boxes not daily drivers, especially when heavy.
@Insta Pablo stickers are for workbenches/garage toolboxes not vehicles
Or makes your vehicle a bigger target because they believe they are going to get a free handgun
Does anyone else remember that famous footage of the LA riots in the 90s and they were dragging the trucker out and beating him. And dragging people out of their cars? Well after watching that a 12 inch AR with a couple 30 round magazine is my go to
Which is illegal in california, i dont like it, but if you could be travelling to anti gun states, a shotgun or mini 14 might keep you out of legal trouble
He was wearing a red shirt right .. the trucker?
I always keep my Keltec sub2000 in my backpack with several mags. It has a streamlight hlx 1000 lumen light on an arisaka scout mount. I also grab an AR a lot of the time before I leave the house. Great video as always
I must say out of all of the gun RUclipsrs you may be the most enjoyable to watch, you don’t have a douchey personality, you’re LOGICAL, you don’t put down budget guns and you aren’t always talking about glocks. It’s very refreshing.
The trick is: The place where you figure you're more likely to need to access a long gun in your vehicle is also the same place where someone is more likely to break into your vehicle. I'd be tempted to try to dress around a larger(than usual) concealed weapon that could be carried on my person in a big city. Possibly leaving extra mags of ammo in the car.
If you can get to your car, why not just drive away? I can't imagine any scenario in which I get into a gunfight, go to my car to grab more ammo, and then return to the gunfight. I'm fighting with whatever I have on me, and I'm fighting to get away and go home to my family.
@@fakecubed Regarding the 2nd video: The driver was attempting to speed away from the "mostly peaceful protestors" when he lost control of his vehicle and crashed. The video shows what happened to this man who was helpless to defend himself when his attackers caught up with him.
@@cgsimons1187 I don't know what video you're referring to, but if your vehicle is attacked, you're not going to defend it with a rifle, and if you have a rifle in the car, you're going to need to fight off your attackers first with a handgun before you can get it out and deployed when you're on foot.
An electrician I used to know always had to take along an additional employee for jobs in Chicago just because he could never leave his work truck unattended.
Like when Chevy Chase stopped in the wrong part of the city and the street residents started to take the luggage, hub caps, or anything not anchored down?
A Painting Contractor up onna rooftop was surprised to loose pressure in the Sprayer. Renovation for Neighborhood Revival Project. The helper he sent Down to Look yelled up that the Sprayer Line was severed as if with a Knife/Ax by the still running Spray Rig. Next was a homeless person dragging off old Drop Cloths covering the concrete to Hock at the Pawn Shop for beer money.

My favorite low profile vehicle storage containers are folding camp chair bags. Who'd steal a camp chair?
Genius
Are they the cheap Scooby-Doo ones or the barbie ones?
Love this idea
Used to live in a bad area of Kissimmee Florida. When o had to leave my pistol in my car at the bank I would unload it and put a cable lock through the trigger guard and around the seat support. And push the gun under the seat. Bolt cutters would go through that easy but it’s something. Helps with smash and grabs. Which are a big problem here.
Don’t be afraid to say it, we are bless in Georgia for our 2A rights !!!!
I live in NJ and yes, you can absolutely leave a long gun in your trunk or cargo area, As long as it's unloaded and your mags are in a separate bag. It's called "transport condition". GREAT EPISODE!
They may call it that but what it’s really called is infringement
@@sageshirley absolutely %100!
Free men don’t let arbitrary state laws define the readiness of their vehicle gun
Makes me glad I’m in GA like these guys. Our cars are considered the same as our home when it comes to carrying firearms loaded and within reach.
Maryland law says this plus the fact that you have to be in transport to or from the range or gunsmith. Soooo technically your not allowed to just have it back there
The only thing that scares me is that when the police show up and they see a guy with a rifle, they’ll assume you’re the aggressor. They’ll think you’re a mass shooter type.

Yea same. I’ve got no experience in real shootings and I’m not a lawyer, but I understand the best thing is to Give the situation over to the law as soon as possible ( assuming it’s safe to do so) . Lay down your arm, law belly down away from the police, with your rifle between the police and your feet.
There’s an interview of a guy that got in a gun fight with a church shooter on this channel you should watch it for reference to this comment
Hey your alive to deal with that so I call that a win already. They can think that with a handgun also! I would unload the gun and set it down then move back to side arm at the point.
It's real simple, end the threat and don't be pointing it at anybody when the police show up. Don't point it at cops. You know the saying about police being minutes away when seconds matter? You'll almost certainly have plenty of time to stop a threat and then make your rifle safe and put it down before the police get there. Police show up with loud sirens. It's incumbent on you to maintain situational awareness, and that includes before a shooting happens. Know if there's cops nearby. Also be aware that sometimes violent criminals, especially armed robbers in public places, may have accomplices, trying to blend in and on the lookout for any heroes. There's been cases where a regular person with a concealed carry weapon responded to a threat that they did see, but got shot in the back by the threat they didn't see while they were getting ready to engage.
That said, I've decided I'm not going to be a hero who runs towards a gunfight. Not worth it. Everyone in the kill zone had the same opportunity as I did to arm themselves in self-defense, if they chose to be unarmed and something happens, I feel no moral obligation to rescue them. If I'm right in the thick of it when it starts, and my life or my loved ones' lives are in danger, I will act immediately, and that's why I carry. But if I can get away without a shootout, I have no problem going home and avoiding the risk or possible legal ramifications.
Police patches on your armor might help. Best to end the threat then put the rifle up fast.
For an older truck an engine kill switch is an affordable and effective way to keep your truck and anything you value in it from getting stolen.
For a newer vehicle a fuel pump cutoff switch is brilliant. Just enough pressure in the lines to back out of a parking space and then stall, making a scene no thief wants to hang around for.
Paint your car bright pink then absolutely nobody would want to steal it. /S

Unfortunately you wouldn't want to be seen driving it also so make sure there's dark tint on the windows.
My sidearm is like an American Express card, I don't leave home without it.
Years ago, we were driving home from a trip, we stopped at a rest area between Washington & Oregon late. I was using a shotgun as a travel gun. There was an incident between some agitated individuals. During those moments I decided that an ak in 7.62x39 would be the better choice for the protection of my family on road trips.
🤝🏻
I would agree a long rifle with high capacity magazine capabicity
@@leswilliamson3587 the ability to fold the stock makes for easier maneuvering it in a vehicle easier. It normally sits behind the passenger seat folded. Small enough for my daughters to hand it off
@BeetleFartMedia extended capacity
Just be aware of that penetration. Don't want to explode a baby in someone's back seat.
LMAO: "What if I have to shoot a bear...or a charging moose." Love you guys.
Yep, that's actually a thing around here.. 🤣🤣🤠
I love you too man. LMAO "my reality is the only reality"
@@Dropship11 I wasn't being skeptical...I 100% believe that he might have to shoot a charging moose.
Wow, it's like fantasyland listening to this. Most people aren't even allowed to carry a hand gun in my county. I remember seeing a rancher with a lever action rifle displayed on the back of his pick-up truck's rear window back in 1982. This was in a semi-rural town in L.A. County! He was a descendant of John Rowland, the man who founded a community by the same surname, now a overcrowded suburban town that predicatably grew like weeds.

Is a fellow named SELCO. He writes, and can be seen on non-RUclips video platforms. He learned how to
deal with everything from ethnic rivalries to common-sense, secure bartering, without getting ripped-off, or
worse. English is not his first language, obviously, but he IS fluent in English, and though accented, makes
perfect sense, as does his writing. He addresses fairly universally-applicable tactics, concerns, and techniques,
and is worth checking-out. He is ALSO a Nurse, so he probably "gets" some of the medical issues, as well.
Look-around, for the name SELCO. He's the guy to whom you were referring. Be safe. Thanks for the content, guys.
Great topic. Very interesting points to consider for your individual vehicle and location
When traveling mine is an 1897 shotgun and a canvas bandolier of assorted munitions mostly defensive buck+ball they are surprisingly compact and many restrictive laws across lines in adjoining states (Maryland) have little to say on the subject of shotguns of its type in particular from a legal standpoint.
I have an idea. As a gun owner I want to put anti gun stickers on my car. That way they think theres no way theres a gun in that car lol
Smart, but there are so many sheep that may convince more of them to vote for the socialist nonsense.
Any kind of political message on your vehicle is inviting attack from somebody. There's a lot of crazies in the world.
Lol
Sounds like an invitation to get robbed.
Advertise being an easy target???? No ty
Jesus Eric you look great! You’ve lost so much weight! I’m so proud of you.
💪🏻
This video is really informational. I live in the westside of atlanta and its good to know what I can and cannot put in the car. I never leave my firearm in my car cause it will be gone when I get back. It's just like car audio, theives are going for stuff with kicker, Kenwood, audio pipe decals on the windows first! In 5he city it's a must we carry because of these teenagers with aks and AR's. I'm buying a bullpup from moss today for the house, but I think perfect thing for a car would be a sbr. My friend keeps a 715p with him and it actually makes more sense 5han a larger gun in the car. It's small, 25 rounds and will get him outta trouble if needed. Man I really appreciate your vids Eric!!
I agree with you, the way things are going now while at home I keep a .357 beside me and a shotgun farther back into the house to retreat to just because, "today you never know what will happen next" so yes, everyone should carry a handgun and a long gun while traveling.
I'd have a 308 at least next to that shotgun. It's more of a likelihood those intruders would be blue colored plate carriers.
I carry my Glock 19 and when I’m in my truck I take my Ruger takedown PC carbine, that I keep in a backpack. I’m able to leave it in my house and easily carry it to my car when needed. Using the same mags make it a great option. I live in New York with limited options.
Best option would be leave new York 😉
Sounds like a smart setup Mike, especially in such a restricted state. Another option that I believe is New York legal is a Kel Tec SU-16 5.56 Rifle that folds in half. You can get an "A" or "B" model where they don't have a threaded barrel for legal compliance. They take standard AR-15 NATO mags but come with 10 round mags from Kel Tec. Easily fits inside a backpack, very light weight (5 1/4lbs) and fires full power rifle rounds. They are hard to find locally but there are usually a few for sale on Gunbroker at any given time for roughly $550 to $700. If you get one, change the Kel Tec extractor to an AR extractor and it will run as reliable as a Glock. Best, John
@@JohnB-dr8sk thank you John. Great idea, I will definitely try to get one.
@@nyc71381 You're welcome and best of luck
My brothers car broke down on the side of the road in a snow storm one time, and he left his doors unlocked for the sole purpose of he didn’t want someone to smash his windows. Next day when we showed up to tow it the driver window was smashed out anyway
wanted to say congrats on the weight loss eric, and also stoked to hear you’re a satriani fan too! lol great conversation you guys shared with us here. Live free or die
I’ve built a 5” barrel AR15 with the DFA modified cycling system which makes a 2.5” buffer tube, chambered in 7.62x39 with a pistol sized red dot. It fits in my sling pack. Goes every where I go. Very indiscreet. A person can build what I’ve built for probably $800. It’s unbelievably accurate and more fun than you could imagine. Will make any hostage head shot a person needs to make from 50 yards with ease.
What I built is what people need. It’s considered a pistol at this point in time still.
Someone asked, "What are you preparing for?"
My response is this: I'm preparing not to become a helpless victim with no means of protection.
One way to compromise on this is instead of carrying a long gun, carry a Glock 40 MOS 10mm Pistol with a Red Dot on it. Much more accurate than a regular CCW handgun and can easily hit targets out to 100 yards. With a 6" barrel and loaded with Liberty Civil Defense or Underwood Defenders, they are putting out 800-900 ft lbs of energy and are hitting 2000-2500fps depending on the load. All in a package that can be concealed on your person if necessary. This would solve the issue of having to leave it in a vehicle as even though it's a larger handgun, you could easily put it in a fanny pack, chest pack or tiny daypack where a rifle would never fit. You can also get 30 round mags for it if you live in a state where that's legal.
I recently set up a long gun. The riots, crime wave and mass shooters pushed me to think about it. I picked up a lower from my local dealer. I found a deal on a 10.5in upper kit on Palmetto state armory. It was a 900$ kit with a sig red dot on sale for 399. I built it out. Practiced and ran rounds through it for some time before carrying it. I keep it under the back seat in my 17 Silverado in a soft case with mags. I live in a rural area between two larger city’s. I’m not that afraid of a break in. But I have around 600$ in the entire gun including the case. That’s worth it for my life. I’ll take that chance.
Cool
If it's in your truck, hidden away, the only time you'll be getting it out is if you're out of the vehicle, in the outdoors. Why would you want such a short barrel in such an open environment?
@@fakecubed I need to for 100 yards and less. I see no need for a longer gun to take up more space. If I should need it in a building I’m gonna want it shorter anyway. I wouldn’t go any shorter then that because you really lose velocity. I’m very happy with the size and performance of it. I love the short gun and short case I have for it. Takes up very little space in the truck.
@@davidromanowski8092 Any building you'd be in would be subject to all kinds of fire codes which would make a longer gun no worse than a shorter gun if you have even the slightest bit of understanding of how to fight inside a building. When's the last time you honestly felt cramped inside a publicly accessible building? Barrel length for indoor fighting is one of the biggest myths in the gun community. The reason the military likes shorter is because they need to use them out of vehicles, which are cramped, and they're wearing a bunch of stuff on their vests, giving them not a lot of room to get out of the door and be ready to fight.
@@fakecubed I see no need for a longer barrel in my situation. The only negative to the shorter barrel I’m my situation is sound. It’s not my only gun. I have 16s, 18s and a 20 at home. Mind you pistol length makes things much better legally for me with a concealed weapon permit.
I don’t leave a long gun in my vehicle but when I travel it depends on where I’m going or my mood of the day it’s either a mp5 in a back pack or a ak 102/104 or mk18. All depends.
This is why I love my Honda Ridgeline. With the lockable trunk I can have all my gear. Get home bag, Ar pistol and still have room for daily use (stroller and grocery). I've even seen someone hide a keltec 2000 on the shelf where the spare lives. You can't tell its a gun. Looks like a spare tire tool when in a small bag.
Exactly why I got the s2k with all the mcarbo internal parts but the mount.
Camp alarm attached to hiding spot can be an effective addition as well, depending on your situation an local laws .
Don’t forget that while your car is running that it is the most powerful weapon you have. If you are aware, it can keep a carjacker out of the car and possibly send him to the hospital. Shift to neutral, full throttle, reverse or drive drop will make the entire vehicle jump in a most dangerous way.
We used to live in a homogeneous, high trust society. We don't anymore. Ironically this means that guns were more easily kept in and on vehicles, but weren't needed in the past, but are harder to keep now, but more essential.
It's irresponsible not to also have TMA(trunk monkey armor). You must protect the investment you have in acquiring and training that little guy.
a RADOM Hellpup, with a couple of few 30 rds Mags! In back of the passenger seat......of my Geo Metro! WHHHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
pretty sure unless your going to or from the range you cant transport guns in new jersey especially if left unattended even if unloaded
That seems to be the rule in Maryland as well. I have been pulled over during deer season and still end up getting questions as to why I left it over night or coming home from work.
As I’m hearing this, don’t ever leave a firearm in your vehicle, if the car is ever stolen, or someone driving it, your responsible. As for pick up storage, you don’t need storage if you take it in at night, but during the day, a custom box under the rear seat. .A standard bed, you can have custom box that could lock, but it will raise the seat itself. I’ve seen a custom storage locker that as the shape and size of a bench seat. Only your imagination is limited , if you can think of it, it can be made.
Seriously wow Eric you Are looking great!! Keep in up Chad eric
I like to carry an M-1 carbine. Doesn’t look scary, it’s old, and is wood and blue steel. I have to assume I’d get less crap from an officer with an m-1 than an Ak. If they decided to search my vehicle.
Ya I wouldn’t count on that.
Never let them search your car.
Thank you Eric ! A hand gun with holster and extra loaded magazines, extra ammo. Shot gun minumin. Long gun extra ammo, extra loaded mags. And don't forget the get home bag. And that's minumin. Where it's legal. And check each state for its rules and laws.
Thanks for sharing y'all's thoughts on this topic. Lots of good info.
My next vehicle will have tinted windows, and I will not put camo seat covers on the seats. I’m pretty sure that the crooks had some help from the security guard who watched the whole break-in go down and just called the cops from afar. Because it was an extended stay situation, he would have had the time to case out the vehicles to target. Definitely worth taking the time and making things look like a no return option for the bad guys.
Nevada, where I live, we are allow to "Open Carry" with a loaded pistol, with no permit or license required. A long rifle cannot have a round in the chamber, but the magazine can be inside the rifle. CCW is very easy to get in Nevada. But due to large amount of people trying to get their permit, it might take six to eight months to get your permit.
Same guy saying if you need to reload a shot gun your in a very bad situation has plates, 6 mags and an AR. 🤷🏼♂️
Way back in the seventies my stepfather had a rifle rack in back window of his pickup truck. He told me one never puts rifles there because it invites break in. He used the rack to carry a couple umbrellas 😂
Us carpenters carry our 4 foot levels on truck gun racks
It's getting worse in NJ.
The new law that will likely pass says that even if you have a CCW, you must store it unloaded in the trunk or lock box for a truck/van/etc.
Bruen will of course eventually have it's way with NJ, but I'd hate to be there in the meantime.
Dont leave a gun in a vehicle. Ever. To clarify, dont leave a gun in a vehicle overnight.
I thought rifles and aks shot intermediate cartridges? A BAR in the trunk would be pretty sick though.
Some do, they're only for anti-personnel or sporting use. Some designers, though, think the ability to take out a feral razorback that's currently charging you down to bite the middle half out of you is more likely to be useful than the ability to fight multiple people with a gun that's easier to use.
I know that where I come from, that's far more likely to happen than getting into a gunfight with rifle-armed opponents.
28:00 If you use Apple phones, put an air tag inside the grip of the long gun you keep in your car/truck. If it gets stolen you can track it live. When you put it in an AR handle seal the bottom with epoxy.
Funny you mention this. I'm in Australia and our laws are fairly strict. When I go bush for firewood, camping, whatever I like a Stoeger Double Defense under-over or a Ruger Ranch in 7.62*39. Basic, legal, effective. Down here we don't really need defence against armed individuals, it's mainly the wildlife you gotta worry about. Wild pigs, goats, buffalo, crocodiles, even kangaroos and emus can be deadly... and don't get me started on the venous snakes.
Wherever you are, stay safe out there. Cheers for all you do guys!
Not long ago had my van in for service. A under seat lock box was stolen. Fortunately, empty. The cable securing it to the seat support was cleanly cut.
You can’t defend yourself in court saying I was defending myself at 100/200 yards
Unless they get the CSI crew out there pulling fingerprints off the bullet then how would they find you?
Car break ins are the issue here with this. If I had to guess the majority of firearms used in crime are probably stolen.
A buddy had a sticker on his car that said something like, "No aftermarket stereo", and one day he found his window broken and a note on the seat, "Then get one".
I’m with you Matt. My wife says the same thing. You really need your gun? Yup. I carry more because I don’t know what I may be coming home to. Once we thought our home had been broken into. Thankfully it hadn’t but I was glad I was armed when I got there!
"Better to have it & not need it than to need it & not have it!" The prepper motto. Non prep minded cannot even grasp the concept which makes me scratch my head. The fact that we are even conversing about the need to be armed & ready as in this video is a sad commentary on how our society has deteriorated but it IS that way! And those who are responsible for it are determined to deprive us of the ability to defend ourselves from THEIR mayhem!
Used to be very common, I still have one of the old rifle racks in an old truck. When I was in high school in the early 90's during hunting season you could still find guys with a rifle or shotgun in their trucks. Even in plain sight. Now it is un heard of and very illegal.
I think the author you were trying to remember is Selco Begovic, he has several books and is a survivor of the Balkan Wars,
Thank you iraqveteran8888 for the 2a updates
The draw to the Sub2K is the footprint. No AR will match it. Another tip, keep your vehicle interior spotless and empty. If someone looks into a empty car, not much point in breaking into it.
There's a lot to be said about the "Truck Gun." I can't get use to that idea. I've got the perfect one, 300 Blk, 8.2-inch barrel, 35.5 inches OAL, but it's still slow to deploy when compared to my EDC Glock 23. Taking it out of the car at a rest stop is so much of a hassle.
Was reading through the comments and was seeing a few comments on why would you need to defend or hard to justify stopping a threat at longer ranges. And I know this situation is rare but because of it I carry a long gun with me when I travel. A friend of mine was an otr driver for many years he came up on a situation where an officer was being fired on by a man and was unable to get a shot off or get to his rifle. My friend was able to retrieve his and put the threat down. People today don't have the same values as we did growing up and we never know what will be around the next corner if you choose not to be prepared that's your choice but some people like to be prepared no matter what. And yes he did this with his deer rifle.
My Jeep Wrangler had a very robust storage locking compartment in the back was a factory option thing was almost impervious to breaking into
The disservice is that there are certain states where you're more concerned about the law finding your legal firearm in your car than the criminals
Good point @ 17:30 with the stickers all over your vehicle.
Brings up another point though.
if the "apocalypse" happened and i was walking through a parking lot and i saw a "lifted" tricked out truck / suv etc , THATS the FIRST vehicle i am "searching" !
ESPECIALLY if it looks like its a "off-grid / camping " style rig !
The biggest concern I have with this is law enforcement encounters. Usually there's a fairly simple way to make sure you don't even have a firearm in the vehicle overnight - backpack, tennis bag, etc. But not every cop is going to be happy that you have an AR pistol folded up in a backpack even if it's legal (not with a brace anymore, apparently). You also need permission to leave the state with an SBR. And in Ohio, I've been told by multiple gun store owners that you're technically not allowed to have a long gun in the car unless you're taking it to the range (although I've not seen this law written anywhere that I could find). These concern me more than theft based on where I typically park my vehicle and its distance from me. I would be worried about awkward encounters in a normal traffic stop type situation.
Bolt a chain through the bottom of trunk of your car or wrap a chain around a seat post and lock it. Feed the end of the chain up through your AR's mag well & out the ejection port & then slap a padlock on it. The upper & lower are both secured now. I have a way to keep someone from unbolting the chain with pliers or a normal wrench. Put the bolt through a electrical conduit reducing washer, so only a socket wrench will work. Want to get even more secure? Use a 5 sided security bolt head like the power utility company uses and buy the special socket. Those things are grade 8 or 9 and they don't drill out for ****!

Should I switch from my sidewalk gun to my road gun when I cross the street? What's a good car wash gun? Also I'm thinking about a good lawn mowing gun.

This also checks✔️out
Sub2k. You can hide it under a polo with pineapple print.

You're spot on I don't wear my seatbelt because I plan on getting in a wreck I wear my seatbelt just in case I get in a wreck
Foxtrot Mike makes a pretty cool looking AR without a buffer. It has a different bolt carrier group; I have a standard Foxtrot Mike 9mm AR; that works pretty well for me. I've dry fired one of those 5.56 ones without the buffer at Aim Surplus and it felt pretty good. I just keep a handgun on me, because we aren't allowed to have a loaded long gun in the car here in Ohio.
Are you talking about the G3 when Eric Johnson played Manhattan? That's my JAM!!
Seems like the flux raider would be a good choice. I’ve been saving my money to get one.
Buddy passed his sub 2000 on to me for 200. He can't use it after an injury. Its a great plinker. Fun gun and for 200 it is better than nothing.
My EDC is a S&W M&P9 2.0 5" FDE. My KelTec SU-16C w/LPVO and vest fit under the floor of my SUV with my survival gear. I keep a Stribog SP9A1 w/folding arm brace, SIG Romeo5 &, a 1200 lumen weapon light in a ballistic nylon laptop briefcase along with plenty of spare loaded magazines & my laptop/tablet. If I get out of the SUV the briefcase goes with me & has a shoulder strap if I need both hands.
Some states that allow loaded handguns in a vehicle don’t allow loaded rifles in a vehicle. Laws that make you keep the rifle ammo kept separate. I remember when I was a teenager almost every pickup truck had a deer rifle and a shotgun in a window gun rack and no one freaked out or tried to steal them.
Mag fed shotgun a novelty? Ok, my saiga works great. 12 rnd drum is very reliable for me. With three eight rounders as backup. I will say it’s more well suited for home defense than truck gun. Even with the quirks of the 12 ga Ak platform I can reload very fast. Once those mags are empty it slows down a lot, though. Another reason to use it for home defense. Run the 12 in the drum then go to rifle or pistol.
Another good point they got brought up, was the unwillingness to sacrifice security over the possibility of self, when you've done everything you can do practically to secure it. My father taught us, growing up, that if we wanted to have our guns hanging in gun racks on the wall at the house (as opposed to hidden and in a safe somewhere), then do it. You can't live your life terrified somebody's going to steal everything. Could it happen? Yes. Is it likely? Probably not, but that's what insurance is for. His point was, you can't sacrifice your safety and your family safety, and convenience, just because of fear. Life is too short for that. Now, I get the times are different than they were them, for sure, but some of that is so very true.
A handgun is used to get to a rifle. There is no equal. I agree with the long gun in your vehicle. Move it in and out daily. Keep it secured, but accessible to you when you need it.
I'm in memphis. EVERY part of the city is free game for break-ins. As much as I want a truck gun, I don't think it's feasible.
What struck me about this conversation is the guy who went to volunteer to build a Habitat house in a s***hole where they break into your truck.
I’ve been packing a rifle in my truck for years. Makes me feel much better that I’m not the only person out there doing it made me self-conscious sometimes, but it is what it is.
A GOOD locking system, properly installed,
is nearly impossible to defeat.
*Laughs in lockpickinglawyer*
@@ferrumchnop6617 I hear ya. But the average mope can barely tie his own shoes much less defeat a lock! LOL
Piston ar with foldable a stock is the best I think
A par ordinance TTR with the folding stock is the way to go powerful but yet compact.223
I prefer a shotgun, 20 guage or 12 guage shockwave.

Police cars are almost universally keyed-alike with the same publicly-available unrestricted key that anyone can buy or make at home from an unrestricted blank. And cops have full auto M4s in their cars, which I would think would be a far more tempting target for a thief who has even the most basic of knowledge, and the theft might not even be noticed for many hours, possibly days or weeks, since no breaking would be required if the gun is in the trunk.
Milwaukee ATF had a full auto M4 stolen from a car during Operation Fearless Distributing.
This was a good video. A lot of it depends on where you are and your perceived needs. Where I live, we are really rural; we have drives of 45 minutes to an hour, literally through the woods to get to work, or to go to the grocery store. Our get home gear is far more critical to a lot of us. For that reason, for me, my truck gun is a Remington 870 tactical, with enough different types of ammo to let the gun run in lots of scenarios, from urban to rural. Would I be served better with an AR platform? Certainly, you have more distance fire power with the 223. But, when I look at what is most likely the challenge I would have to face, the shotgun wins hands-down. I do have it locked very well. A thief might find it without having to work too terribly hard, but they're gonna have to do an awful lot of work to get it.
Jeff Foxworthy said the Dwarf House was where he got his first kiss and his first black eye.
Legalities of a papered SBR, while traveling? This was the appeal of braced "pistols", not needing a Fed "mother, may I?" to cross a state line...to be "legal ".
All you need to break in to an older Super Duty and steal the truck is a flathead screwdriver. Gone in 60 seconds. They have all the time they need at that point.
I live in a town with less than 2500 vehicles. Someone broke my window for the two quarters laying in my console. Just because your guns are hidden doesn’t mean there isn’t something else in there that they want.
Just a few points to ponder.
