Well, this is a privately run, presumably for-profit website, which gets to set the rules for what content they want on their website.

 

If you don't like their rules, you can:

-find another website that allows you to express yourself in the way you want to

-create your own website, perhaps similar to this site, and work to get other, likeminded people to join it and both discuss trucks and your political views.

I don't care about the insurance or the cost of the weapon. It's the fact that an unsecured weapon may be used by someone who would never be able to possess that weapon legally, to use it against a pe

Sorry to pull up an old thread but has anyone mounted to the inside or bottom of their center console?  I just got the Vara Reach II (www.varasafety.com) and I also bought the vehicle mount.  The vehicle mount gets installed under the rail for the seat slider and keeps the holster near your right knee in the open.  I would really like to install this inside the console to keep it out of sight.

 

Edit: Damn I haven't been on this site in years...  I haven't had the white GMC for about 6 years.  This is like visiting your old neighborhood!

I keep my primary carry firearm with me at all times.  As a military spouse I often end up in states that won't issue a permit to me because I'm not a resident of that state (violation of 14th Amendment???).  So, I've resorted to what others have stated -- concealed means concealed.  When living in Illinois I found a loophole in the law and switched from concealed carry in my vehicle to "transport mode" at work.  You don't need a permit to carry a firearm at work.  It's in the FOID Card Act.  So, before getting out of my vehicle I'd put my firearm into my laptop bag and take my laptop bag into work with me.

 

The other idea is to wear looser clothing so you don't "print" your firearm.

 

More than 80% of mass shootings happen in areas where firearms possession is prohihited.  I'd rather lose my job than my life.  Jobs are replaceable.  Civil Rights don't stop at the door.  The 2nd Amendment is clear.  The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.  That law applies to all persons and places.  And, before anybody jumps in and tries claim that is only applicable to the militia (which isn't the military), please refer to federal statute 10 USC 246 -- the American People are the militia.  We are defined as Unorganized Militia.

Always wondered how registering for the draft could be legal if we weren't already considered a militia.

The draft is for military service, not militia.  The Commander In Chief for the militia is the state governor, not the US president.  Currently, a draft isn't legal, but that doesn't mean Congress can't change that.

I hate to bump a very old topic but if you need a much less conspicuous location than has been mentioned I found a solution that has worked well for 3+ years. 
If you have the carpeted factory storage under your rear seat you may want to look under it. It is held in with two screws (everyone should carry a screwdriver in a truck) and there is plenty of room for an un-scoped long gun, a couple full size pistols, and a couple boxes of ammo. At least that’s what I’ve been told 😜.

The only time a gun gets left in my vehicle is when I'm traveling to and from a hunting location, and in that situation its a rifle or shotgun under the rear seat.  Otherwise, any firearm I am transporting is on my possession at all times.  I don't want a thief to peek inside my vehicle, see a mounted holster and break my window thinking "hey, this guys obviously has firearms, what are the odds there might be one in a console of glove box?".  I know, highly unlikely scenario, but I don't want to give anybody a reason to break into my vehicle.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
