  1. Because tucked between my hip and the seatbelt is not in "Plain View" of an officer approaching the driver's side window, and therefore illegal. It's either: A: Plain View (i.e. seat/dash) B: Unloaded and secured outside of the passenger compartment (trunk) C: Don't have it at all. I chose A.
  2. Considering I only have 4 at the moment, it's not that difficult. My G27 would be one. And I'd have to think hard about choosing between my 700 and my Mosin. 700 has optics and is extremely accurate, but no open sights in the event the scope gets damaged. Plus, I'm willing to bet it'd be easier to find 7.62 ammo than it would 7mm-08. OTOH, the Mosin is a brick compared to 700 Mountain rifle....and it'd really suck carrying it around for an extended period, but the guys in the war did it, so I shouldn't be such a Nancy about it, lol. I choose the Mosin as the second.
  3. IIRC, someone even got some grief once for having theirs in the cup holder in the center console. Precisely the intention.
  4. The more often you swab your muzzie the easier it is dealing with a tight bore.
  5. Congrats! Beautiful gun....my father has the 9.5" barrel version. They're actually pleasant to shoot due to the heavy frame.
  6. Not yet, but I'll be purchasing a 31 rounder for my Glock soon.
  7. Yes, a rooftop carrier would most certainly be legal. I'd recommend finding a secure, lockable one though.
  8. 7mm Mag....once, and never again.
  9. I never intended this to be a bashing thread....I thought it would be an interesting story to follow and had a question.
  10. You must live on Aldrich or Church then...
  11. http://fxn.ws/19X4LiL Authorities tell MyFoxNY.com the two cars pulled over to the side of the interstate after the alleged road rage incident, and Harvey and his passenger allegedly got out of his vehicle and approached Walker. Walker then allegedly exited his car, brandished his gun and announced he was a police officer. Harvey continued to approach Walker allegedly in an aggressive manner, and Walker fired at Harvey, fatally wounding him, MyFoxNY.com reports. Troopers charged Walker on Sunday with second degree murder and manslaughter, and he remains in a Maryland jail on $1 million bond. This will be interesting to follow. I don't know MD's SD laws.... I wonder if the manslaughter charges will stick. It's extremely sad when people get so pissed off when driving they resort to violence. Also...what are the laws governing interstate transport of loaded firearms for LEO's?
  12. Doubt it. If so they probably would have jumped at the opportunity for more "hi cap" bad press. I'm guessing a folding stock or the like.
  13. That's accurate...but not they clearly said "possess" not "transport". Plus, I don't think you can transport a long gun other than for those reasons (plus hunting) even with an FID?
  14. I've commented on the article that they are spreading misinformation. A NJ FID is NOT required to possess a firearm. And this happened literally around the corner from where I used to live at the Jackson Vet..... https://maps.google.com/maps?q=albany+ave+jackson+nj&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x89c17f22108fde11:0x60baa5f20ce29dc5,Albany+Ave,+Jackson,+NJ+08527&gl=us&ei=UjG2Ufm0Kcfc4APBzYCIBg&ved=0CC4Q8gEwAA
  15. Just throw some training wheels and a hitch on the case and tow it.
  16. The stock on that M39 is absolutely gorgeous.
  17. I like my Kershaw OD-2. It's got the little knob so it opens in a flash.
  18. You're entitled to your opinion. I'm not worried about anyone getting to it before me while I'm in the car, and that's the only time it will be in that holster. Outside of the car it will be on my person.
  19. I think it's the jealousy talking, lol. I spent 6 years in the PRNJ...I've done my time, lol.
  20. You can conceal with a CCDW. I just don't have mine yet. I plan to start the process soon. The crazy thing is, you have to have 5 references that have lived in DE for 5 years, and have to put a public notice in the paper.
  21. If it's between your legs, it's considered concealed. It has to be clearly visible by an officer if he approaches the window. That would be obstructed by the steering wheel and your leg. I suppose you could do that on the passenger seat, but that would be extremely hard to reach. Besides...my intended purpose is to be lawful. I needed a more convenient place to put it in the car beside the seat. I've done a lot of research on this.... Open carry in a vehicle in Delaware is lawful behavior -- the firearm must be in plain view. The unofficial direction we've obtained from the Attorney General's office is either to have your firearm on the passenger seat or on the dashboard. This can be problematic as sudden stops and sharp turns can cause your weapon to slide off the seat or, heaven forbid, out of your window. It has been recommended to pick up a cheap "clip" holster so that you might be able to either holster your weapon in that and clip it to a fastened seatbelt in the passenger seat or affix heavy duty velcro (think EZ-Pass grade) to the dash and holster to keep it in place. If it's loaded and anywhere in the passenger compartment that is not in plain view you would be considered in (at least) constructive possession of it and thus would be possessing a concealed deadly weapon w/o a permit. Loaded OC in Delaware is legal, even in a vehicle. "Plain View" is the doctrine you must follow - so by putting it on the dash or on the passenger seat is the thing to do. When on your person the gun can easily be obstructed from plain view.
  22. Can't hide it...has to be open. Don't have my CCDW permit. The DE AG says dash or seat is best...and a lot of people put them on the dash. It's much easier to grab there than laying randomly on the seat. Besides, I never have my passenger window/door open anyway.
