Shotgun in my truck window?

[bodger]

In LA where I live, it would not turn out well.

I agree with everyone stating it's legality along with stupidity in this state.

As for the "ammo in a separate locked container" nonsense, stop. There is no law saying your ammo needs to be locked away from the firearm. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

If you were dumb enough to want to do it, you could roll with your SPAS 12 laying on a bed of shells in the back seat of your car.

EDIT: The SPAS 12 is probably considered a WMD and illegal here also.

Sadly close but even worse, the SPAS12 is listed by name in Roberti/Roos act as a prohibited assault weapon. Because according to the Jurassic Park documentary they are capable of taking out dinosaurs.

Forgot about that crackerman, your right. You'd think SPAZeneger would have loop-holed the shotgun he made famous while governing this once great state.

And to be fair crackerman, it was the ability to shoot them "one handed" at said dinosaurs. The dual wield of the SPAZ 12 is akin to the atom bomb. Fact.

Or list it on your CCW and store it behind the seat.

Long guns fall outside of the concealed gun law. You don't need a CCW to store it behind the seat.

lol. WMD? Weapon of Mass Destruction? I think you're thinking of "Destructive Device"...


Carry on.

I believe there is code allowing for a long gun on a CCW License. Give me a bit to find it.

[Jeepers]

im not sure if its legal or not but it would definitely attract a lot of attention. Probably not worth the hassle

HEHEHEHEHE guess you don't get up to NorCal much huh ?

heck i used to carry a mossberg 500 and m1 carbine in my back window back in high school ....

sad how p****fied we have become "OMG its a gun in plain view, must be a terrorist"

as far as legal its a long gun so i see no issues as long as its unloaded .. but we live rural ...

If you get in a bad enough accident it will come off that window like a boomerang.

I had a friend years ago that got into an accident with spray paint cans in the back of his Blazer. They bounced off the windshield and knocked out four of his teeth. I now always think about what I have riding in my vehicle.

Hmm. Good luck.

It's best not to publicly advertise anything.

I remember when it was a common sight to have a gun rack in your truck window,and use it.

We sure have come a long way.

[teg33]

It's legal as long as you can avoid school gun free zone which impossible if you live in big city

Can I legally carry my shotgun on a gun tack in my trucks back window?
I could store the ammo separately in a locked container.

You'll probably get several opinions in this thread. Some may be right, some may be wrong. But more critical will be hte opinion of the LEO who will be stopping you, and THAT guy's interpretation of whether or not it's legal.

So let's say it's 100% legal. If you get pulled by a LEO that doesn't share your view, you get to be arrested, the gun is sezied, the truck is probably impounded, and that's just the immediate issues. Many many months later, you maybe "win" the day and the charges are dropped. Meanwhile you're out maybe the truck, probably the gun, and a schit-load of time and money.
