Long gun in your vehicle - Page 2

ElMonoDelMar · June 25th, 2006, 01:33 AM

I live in Illinois and would have to have the gun cased and unloaded. Even then some of the local cops say that is illegal.

Bottom line is I don't keep one in the vehicle because I don't want to get harassed by cops that don't know the law.

I wish I could have it loaded in my vehicle. But I don't carry a long gun in my truck.

I am thinking of getting one of those SUV caddy things for my Blazer like in Cabelas and such. Lockable sotrage. Like to get a Ruger carbine or Kel Tec SU16 or M1 carbine or something. OK, actually a SOCOM 16 would be nice but can't afford it.

I would except that I've had two cars broken into (albeit in NYC), so I'm scared it could happen again and loose my long gun.

usually when I go camping. can't have it loaded while traveling, but nice to have the 30-30 in camp and while walking inth mountains.

Winchester 120 Ranger 12g pump cut down to 26.25".

In Colorado you can't have a round in the chamber, but they can be in the magazine tube.

Carry extra ammmo for the SG (slugs and OO buck) and 9mm for my carry pistol as well, plus basic survival/ bug-out supplies.

Nope, no loaded long guns in ME or MA, two states I am in regularly. I don't want one stolen either.

Nope. I drive a Pacifica. No good place to keep one that I be able to get at in a hurry.

I drive a pu into the downtown area frequented by many BG. An unconcealed long gun would only invite break ins, a situation that I would prefer to avoid.
