a set of police handcuffs under part of the dash frame of the truck would be an idea, the other side of the cuffs should wrap around the gun and trigger gaurd. this should be enough concealment and quick access for most while driving.

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

The act of carrying a gun is to prevent being a victim. Not an intent to kill. IMO.

I've seen a version using a chain and padlock. The guy bolted it to the body underneath the box. Box  had a hole in the bottom the chain ran through. Then padlock through the trigger guard. The length was set so that is virtually, if not impossible, to get bolt cutters on anything. Anything that will add time to the theft is a good thing

I guess if a drunk steals your car and kills someone it the owners fault too!?. The laws keep people from carrying in certain places. Need to be changed. That way there’re wouldn’t be a need to leave the gun in the vehicle.

Premeditation? Definitely not how anyone who has a permit views it. And more importantly, not how the law views it.

 

In CCW training, the main take-away was ironically to NOT use the weapon. Don’t be a hero. Retreat if at all possible. It’s a last resort when your own (or a family member’s) death is imminent. 


Because even if using force is justified, you’re going to be in legal limbo for some time with the aggressive, anti-gun DAs we have running around. It’s the last thing I would want to be involved in unless I literally had no other choice.

seeing your from Texas,  and being there is a mass exodus of liberal commies from Kalifornia to AZ,New Mex, And Texas area's, you guys  can exspect more laws like this to place the blame and responsability onto the owner, even if your not really responsable. oh yeah, and the commies will make you pay for it with higher taxes. get prepared guys the commie wave is coming no matter who is president

 

i personally recommend using and locking up an 80% gun with no numbers to be tracked back to yall'

I would not use an 80% gun (or any modified gun even) for self defense. Reliability aside, you’re opening up a huge bag of worms if you need to use it. In court, you know the DA will paint you to be a trigger happy gun nut who manufactured an un-serialized pistol to evade detection. It’s not a good look.

Being political isn’t allowed here. That being said our cities in Texas are falling slowly but surely. Amazing how one state gets ruined to the point of mass exodus. Only those residents never learn only to repeat somewhere else. See I can be factual without being political. Just the facts, jack. I don’t carry or travel with a gun. I am mindful of where I travel. If there’s ever a national wide permit to carry or I get fearful of my safety. Then I’ll carry. It is our right.

So glad my comments got deleted on here. A liberal must have gotten upset that I stated "he" shouldn't be allowed to have a keyboard by making pointless comments! I guess we don't have freedom of speech!?!  ??

 

Anyways, GM makes a new rear storage area that is lockable. It would be a great place to put it while your away from your truck. Then when return, you could put it back in front counsel area.

The site was down for a day and some content across the site was lost due to having to load a back up copy of the site to the servers.

 

Your post apparently fell into that category. I can find no trace of it.

 

But yes there are limits on speech here. Read the site guidelines

I call bs...my post was deleted as well and I had a quoted reply that’s nowhere to be found. This forum sucks anyways all bullshit advertisements   in between the same useless questions asked over and over.

No such thing as freedom of speech in this snowflake “liberal” controlled internet.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
