Best Place's To Mount Your Guns In A 3rd Gen

I have very similar weapons.

If someone opens your door, either because you left it unlocked or they break the window, a gun in the center console or glovebox is useless. If an undesirable taps on my window, they get a face full of Glock in about a second.

Ill post some pics of my hand guns, i think y'all will approve.
 
Im new to this.

Here are the guns.

I try to keep mine on my person whenever in the truck. I appendix carry so the whole seat belt issue is a non-issue for me. Before I step in, I hike my pants up a bit, tuck my outer garment behind my EDC, and get in and buckle up. 100% easily accessible and by hiking up your pant a little bit, nothing will dig in.

For very long drives, I have a DeSantis Super Tuck holster lodged in the little pocket on the left side of the passenger seat. Makes for a good makeshift holster pocket with decent retention. (I carry an M&P Shield so it may not work for you guys that carry a full size handgun).

As for a rifle, I would look into the adjustable roof bar for AR style rifles. There is one on the market (I just cannot remember the name of it) but they make them for SUV's and Trucks. They are made specifically for "assault" (hate that term) style rifles and they slide into place with a nut for tightening. No drilling of any kind. The rack is also designed to follow the natural curve of the roof line so it stays nice and tucked up close to the roof.

Do a quick search and it should come up. The rack holds two at the same time. Just make sure you check your State's laws for legality of having a rifle up there while driving.

I also keep my pistol on my person when in the truck or at any time for that matter. I carrry a SCCY CPX2 most of the time but also have the old Glock G23. I do want a rifle mount system for my shooting trips though.
 
With the way the Paramilitary (so called Police) are today I would not mount anything anywhere in sight.
For that matter I wouldn't even hold your hand up like a pistol.
The police are totally out of control.
 
What do you wear to conceal it? I love my 1911 but would never dream of trying to conceal carry it. I carry a m&p shield in 9mm and i can't even notice it. I've tried carrying a 1911 but it just feels like I'm walking around with a brick on my hip. Also where do you position it on your belt?

This is what I carry, but I'm 6'4" and 220lbs, so I could hide an AR15.

Since you went there... The police are paranoid because people keep trying to ambush them - just happened in good old Durham last night.

Keep your hands on the wheel when approached, tell the LEO that you have a pistol in the car and a Concealed Carry permit. Hand over your license and CCW permit when asked, don't be a smartass, don't make any stupid moves and you'll be fine. Don't give him a reason to suspect you're looking for trouble. Hold your hand up like a pistol? Why?

Giving attitude to a LEO because he's doing his job is just stupid. I've had a Durham LEO friend tell me as long as you stay calm and speak when spoken to, he has no problems with a pistol on the dash or on the seat where he can see it, because that is legal in NC. If it's locked away in a console or stored in a holster in the door or under the steering column, tell him.

It's pretty simple, just be respectful and you'll be respected.

On topic - The little pocket on the left side of the passenger seat works pretty well for a Shield, but I like the idea of the 'Gun Goddess' steering column adapter for a LH holster. It can probably be accomplished with a little ingenuity without paying $35 + shipping though.

Doesn't take a tude today, could be simply reaching for your wallet or into the glove box, or you could be in your bed asleep as they break into the wrong house and murder your whole family. If you are black then just breathing will do it.
I have seen WAY too many completely innocent people and their dogs shot dead in the past 10 years.
They are training cops way different than they used to, they are trained today like MILITARY and WE are the ENEMY.
It used to be they were "Public Servants".

and NO cops are really not being "ambushed".
I think on average about 30 cops per year are killed by anyone but themselves, quite a few kill themselves in a car accident but as far as being shot or stabbed it is really low.
To put that into perspective roughly 40 Kids are killed because of falling headfirst into a 5 Gallon bucket of water each year.

So technically being a cop in the USA is safer than being a kid standing near a 5 gallon bucket of water.
In fact I don't think cops even rank in like the top 20 of dangerous professions.

Top 10 Most Dangerous Jobs in the Country: Police Officer is NOT on the List | The Free Thought Project

The paramilitary are completely out of control and I personally do not want to be within eyesight of them.

I dare anyone to read through these links, look through them thoroughly and then keep in mind that this is only a very small sampling of what these a$$*&$@ have done in just the past few years, and these are mostly just the Murders of innocent people and DOGs.

The beatings, assaults, robberies, are in the 100s per day in this country.
The murders of innocent people average about 3 per day. (about 1100 mostly innocent people murdered by police every year)
The murders of innocent dogs are about 5 per day.
If you can read through all these murders and beatings and still find even a glimmer of respect for what amounts to a PARAMILITARY (Police) today then you have mental issues.

Paramilitary MURDER totally innocent people damn near every single day.

How about the kid that answered the door with a nintendo controller in his hand and was shot dead instantly, no put anything down, no freeze, no hands up, no "tude" no nothing just opened the door and shot dead and the A$$H)%$ were at the wrong damn house.

Or a guy that was just backing out of his garage to go get a donut, and a wonderful LEO was just outside walking up to his door to serve a warrant to the guy for a PARKING TICKET and then with no warnings no anything shoots him in the back while in his car and paralyses him.

Now this is just those MURDERED by cops, the list of totally innocent people beaten, tasered, tortured, robbed, assaulted by cops is in the 100s of 1000s.

The list is rather endless, there are hundreds and hundreds and then you can start on the completely innocent dogs wagging their tails that these f%@*& A$$H0$ have murdered.

In fact if you look at the crimes committed BY cops, from the blatant murders, the assaults, the robberies, rapes you name it and compare the percentage of cops that are guilty of these crimes Vs the average percentage in the overall population cops are WAY more likely to be a criminal than your average citizen.

I am at the point to where I want NOTHING to do with these lunatics, don't want them around me at all, will not call a cop for anything other than maybe a traffic accident for insurance purposes and even then if my wife and our dog are with me I will have them leave the area and walk down the block before the Paramilitary comes plus be out of the car with my hands on it and I am an old white guy.
I cant even imagine the terror that blacks must feel when the paramilitary are strutting up to them.

and THIS is why, this is a very good report about the cause of this Paramilitary Assault on US citizens.

Botched Paramilitary Police Raids | Cato Institute

Back in the 1970s there were just a few hundred raids per year like this and most likely ALL of them with a warrant, with good information, and for serious offences only, serious felonies etc.
Today there are over 70,000 of these raids per year many if not most are no knock raids, HUNDREDS of them are not even at the right house, 1000s of them that even manage to get to the right house are completely bogus.
Let me repeat that, 70,000+ per year.
That is about 6 of these raids every damn hour, so just in the time it took you to read this probably at least 2 raids happened, likely someone was murdered by the paramilitary without question a totally innocent dog was murdered and the odds are very high that the idiots were even in the wrong damn house.

No Knock Raids « A Painful Truth

There is absolutely ZERO excuse for this.

They are literally like the Nazi SS today so while I hope most cops are decent they are increasingly becoming more militaristic.
There are plenty of decent cops but it appears to me they are fewer and further between.

So for me I wouldn't display any guns in my truck, one its likely to be broken into and stolen if its visible, and two if you get pulled over you never know what the hell is walking up to your truck a decent cop or a freaking nutcase with a gun and a license to kill.
 
Didn't see any sources that weren't wildly skewed towards your opinion in there. Doubt it would matter, as you clearly aren't going to listen to others' takes on that matter.

That said, as a professional firefighter, I pray daily for my LEO brothers and sisters. It's getting harder every day to be a public servant. We live in a litigious world and they are certainly under a microscope with every incident that happens.

I'll echo zcruiser on this - be respectful to LEOs and they will treat you with respect.


Most guys I know carry their pistol in between the seat and console. I will probably just keep my Glock 26 in my IWB holster.
 
"They are literally like the Nazi SS today"

I am not going to argue with you because your opinion appears set in stone but I think you need to grab a history book and read about the Nazi SS. I live in St. Louis so this topic hits extremely close to home and I agree that the police seem to be taking a shoot first ask questions later approach more often these days, but is that because of training or is it a reaction to an environment where children are raised to hate police. I don't think we will ever know the true answer but I think we can all agree that something needs to change.

On topic I prefer to keep my gun on me unless on long trips. In Missouri you are not required to notify the officer when pulled over unless asked. I have done it both ways as I use to get pulled over quite a bit and not notifying them seems to bring less hassle. In my town a suburb of St. Louis once you notify the officer of a fire arm they remove it from you and the vehicle by the policy of the department and then can not do anything until a second unit arrives. Once the stop is over they place the firearm in the trunk if possible and ask you not to retrieve it until they leave. I understand that this policy is to make them feel more safe but if them possessing a firearm made me feel unsafe I do not have the right to ask them to remove it. Sorry that rant went a little longer then intended.

You're a special kind of special aren't you? Take it from someone in the Military, we're not trained to kill anything and everything we see. Whatever you're drinking, you might want to drink less of it.

I prefer the center console for pistol storage. Working on something for a long gun.
 
I keep my "gun" in my trousers... Right where my girlfriend can access it easily
Let's just say I'm a lover, not a fighter :-)))))
 
This thread got a little out of control...

Would love to see what is used to mount and pictures of the hardware used to mount.

With the intention of using these "places" to mount other things.

Text and conversation are nice but pictures are worth a thousand words
