Here's my wifes holster in her truck. She shoots skeet on Thursday nights with the girls and thought I would make it easier to conceal (yes, she is trained and licensed) when out and about. Its a sleeve lined with a slick canvas that croses the rear of the seat at a 45 degree angle. Flip the seat and grab the shotgun. Simple and out of the way.

I really like this. I have never been one for open carry and the look of it (to each his own). It just seems like a good way to get your stuff broken into when your not in the truck etc.

I like the sleeves on the back of the seat. Thanks for sharing that.

If you are going to be effective at home in a defense sit-i-ation ( thats my red neck for ye) you better be good at shootin skeet with the same gun. She is top of her class with a home defense weapon at the range. Remmington 12g with a necked down 20g youth stock ( so she can wrap her hand around the neck of the stock--you can't pull it away from her).

When it's not in the truck, it rests on garage bicycle hooks that are screwed into the side of the bedframe and lays next to her. If she is at the other end of the house and happens to need protection, there are 2 wall mount safe's with magnetic push action fronts that she can quickly grab. On top of being the last girl I would ever want to run into in a dark alley, she has aquired several skills that make her a one woman Army.When people talk about running to the hills when the Zombies come, our close friends want to know where my wife will be. I'm fortunate to enjoy her cooking.

I do believe in the RIGHT to have them and think no one should decide for anyone else. Just because I don't have a need for them, doesn't make me anti-gun. Just to be clear.

Responsible people with them don't scare me- the ones that "have to have them to defend God and Country" do.... Seems they're the most paranoid , of what??who knows.

To each there own, just not a big deal for me.

"Guess I'm just not redneck and ignorant enough to feel I need to pack a gun to be " 'Merican"

But you don't have a problem calling other people names? Sounds like you might want to re-think your statement!

You might want to add Louisiana to the list. Although you don't see very many open carry I can assure you plenty have CCW permits.

I don't carry anymore because I got tired of fighting the urge to fix stupid.

I forgot to mention, shooting skeet with an 18-19" barrel is some good shooting.

If anything is going to separate us friendly people who have our trucks in common, it's going to be a sensitive topic such as guns.
I'm not giving my feelings, I'm just stating that topics like this can't help but offend some.

Even our trucks are offensive to many. The prius driving tofu eaters of the left coast constantly make remarks about my dislike of the planet because of my truck. Funny thing is I shoot with some of them! It's actually the thing that brings us together. Anyone can be offended by anything, if that's what they desire. Just say no to being offended!

Skip Virginia and W. Virginia too plus a lot of Pa. Plenty of CCW permits around here.

I can travel from home to Fla now that WVa and Georgia are in agreement. Plus I can go clear across the country until I hit my home state of Calif. I'm currently disarmed in RI.

Why do I carry? Because I can. It a right guaranteed unto me by the Second Amendment. Same as the First secures my posting here. Exercise your rights or lose them.

Well said! The wife and I have been looking forward to retiring out your way. Not interested in changing where we go, just need to change where we are.

Actually, the 1st has no authority here in this privately owned forum. The owners set the bounds.

Just a BIG heads up to everyone posting in this thread or planning to post. This is a hot button topic that is very polarizing to people on both sides of the topic. First and foremost, this is a family oriented, truck site. One thing that will not be tolerated is name calling, putting others down, etc., etc. Everyone needs to play nice, keep things friendly and remember, many times sarcasm or joking does not come across in text like it does in person. It can come across as rude or instigating.

Keep it civil everyone or this thread will be locked. The mods and admins are very aware of this thread. Thanks for everyone's understanding and cooperation.

[LostMy65]

Thanks Mike,
I guess that's more of what I meant.
Yes, we can't tippie toe to everyone's sensitivities, but this is surely a Hot-Button topic right now.

Wishing evreyone a happy INDEPENDANCE DAY aka 4th of July next weekend.
Work on your truck , go for a swim , make a new holster and remember.

[Liz]

this is turning into a general discussion type topic. Not an issue, just saying.

I wish everyone a wonderful week and holiday as well. We are away this week (our girls have dance nationals) and will be celebrating the 4th as a family. I truly hope I do not have to get continued reports about folks being ugly in this thread. I really would not appreciate taking time away from my kids for that. Please play nice. I cleaned up stuff once and really wouldn't care to do so again.

Thanks!

[imjeff]

Good luck to the girls, Liz, and happy 4th!

[Woogeroo]

newfisher - that is a sweet setup with the sleeves behind the seat.

I'mma 'memba that if I ever have my seat redone.

-W

p.s. to the admins/mods - thanks for letting it stay and for going to the trouble to edit out the wonkyness.
