if you carry there has to be times where you cant take it in places you are going in right? Gov buildings, places that sell alchohol.

 

Depends on the state- In Michigan it's only if the majority of profit is booze and even then you can open carry and be legal if you have a CPL. I'll be buying a console lock box soon, hopefully the guy on here will offer his soon.

Also in Michigan you can take a extra class and get a CPL that allows you to carry in "no carry" zones. With the CPL I have I can carry in banks, hospitals, schools, bars, etc. Still can's carry under the influence or into the court house still some restrictions but very few

No you can not. That bill is tied up in congress still. You might have the exempt box checked on your standard CPL but that's generally only for LEOs or if you have friends on the county gun board. :lol:

 

Currently all you can do with a CPL is open carry in the pistol free zones. You can do that ONLY if you have a CPL though. Reference Michigan State Police Legal Update 86.

The only places I can't carry in Iowa are Court Houses, PDs, schools, and the like. I can open or conceal in bars and even drink up to .08 (I don't). I can carry long guns too as long as they are slung to avoid brandishing. Private businesses can put up gun free zone signs but there is no law enforcing it. All they can do is ask you to leave if they see it.

 

 

Mike make sure you get some good pictures of your lock box, I might be interested in something similar.

Read up on the Michigan gun laws some more there Chief, plenty of other ways around the pistol free zones than this new bill. The new bill will make it easier to get but it can still be done without being crooked or "knowing someone"

Enlighten me please. I know you can open carry in PFZs but even that is a crap shoot as some judges ignore MSP Update 86 and will still punish people who are following the letter of the law. I have yet to see anything like you describe but would definitely like to know more as PFZs are a joke, I call them criminal protection zones.

After looking into this further it seems we are both "right" I got my CPL back when you needed a purpose to get one pre 2006 (I think that is when the law changed) when I got mine you had to have a reason for it and mine was large bank deposits for the company I worked for. Back then it took what seemed like forever to get and you actually had to go in front of the gun board. So anyway yes mine is like a LEO would have and is gradfathered in, you can't really get one now I guess

Ahh. How long is yours good for? I assume you'll be a joe regular like me once yours expires right? The bill removing PFZs with enhanced training was vetoed by Snyder anyhow. So instead of the pistol being out of sight on someone with excellent training all CPL holders can OC in schools and such for the time being. I'm sure that wont last though. Seems this state isn't terribly pro gun. No surprise there.

I leave mine in my truck in the console when I cant carry into work, but then again we have armed security monitoring our parking lot and the lot is secured as well. now if I have to go out in public it gets hidden in the truck if I cant bring it with me, otherwise my gun is on me at all times.

I depends greatly on your state. Find a firearm-related forum for your state and check with them unless someone here has done the process where you live.

Hi scz71864

it is necessary to conceal a handgun in your vehicle even without a CHL. Obviously you cannot take it out and conceal it on your person without a CHL if you go out in public. I like to take my gun off when I'm in my truck cause it is more comfortable.you have need a lock box tethered under my back seat that you can leave your gun in while at work. It is keyless and you just push a series of buttons to get into it in a matter of seconds.conceal Hope this helps.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
