    Why don't you just leave it in your OC holster while driving? 

     

     

     

     

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Wow i think JPD did a good job.

     

    Wondering how the 10/22 was altered to make it an "assualt rifle"

     

    30 round mags?

     

    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.

    I've commented on the article that they are spreading misinformation.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    A NJ FID is NOT required to possess a firearm.

     

     

    I was under the impression that if you did not have an FID card you could only transport long guns directly to and from the range, a smith, or if moving.  Didn't look like they were in the process of any of those things...

     

    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?

    Neither of the subjects possessed a New Jersey Firearms Identification Card to legally possess the firearms 

     

     

    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.....

    Gotcha. If that's the case then I would forego that method of carry altogether until you get your CCW situation squared away so you can do it right. The restrictions you mention above make this method of carry less than optimal.

     

    Just my $0.02

     

     

    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.

    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.
