That's what I'm talking about!

I'd think a pistol would make more sense in a breakdown situation where you had to leave your car or have it towed. You can take a pistol with you...a rifle a little more conspicuous.

You do have concealment issues with a pistol and would probably have to go locked container if you left the car.

If SHTF then no one will care, I guess.

out of curiosity... is it legal to keep a shotgun in your trunk in cali? more specifically in a truck with a lockable shell, inside of a side cabinet carpet kit thingamajigger. is it legal to keep a scattergun in there? if it is legal to UOC i dont see why not. but i was always under the assumption that you could only keep a firearm in the vehicle in cali if you were on your way to the range?

only in the trunk on the way to the range

This.

I've got a truck, so no trunk gun for me. Although sometimes I seriously contemplate mounting a lockable gun rack in the cab.

When I get my car it will probably be a Lee-Enfield. If I ever get a truck, it will go in a gun rack instead. I'd probably rig something to conceal it well while I'm parked, like a curtain or something.

I don't have a trunk either.

My car was broken into last year. I have a trunk and won't carry any gun in my car until I get a case that bolts to the car.

For those that carry....how many spare mags?

[Jonathan Doe]

I don't carry guns in the trunk. I carry a gun on me.

For those that carry....how many spare mags?

The gun I would use when I get my car needs to be fed by clips, so I would probably just have a full bandolier so they're not floating around or anything; my bandoliers hold 14 clips.

For those that carry....how many spare mags?

for quick trips...at least 3 normal caps.. a 20 and two 30's...sometimes more

Whats the point? By the time you get out, get your gun and load it, you are either dead or commiting a murder. Just drive off.
I carry one for long trips where I will be staying at a hotel or in case of breaking down out in the desert but since this trend as been started I seriously never could fall into it. If anything, its a security banky more than anything else.

the back seats in my 3-series fold forward with a quick latch mechanism, and my gf knows how to do it in case something were to happen. loaded magazine and a rifle in there does not require getting out and opening the trunk. still a little lag time, but not that bad.

interesting thread. so is it legal to carry a trunk gun? i kinda assumed that you had to be on the way to or from the range. could an expert please enlighten us on the legality of having a trunk gun (shotgun or handgun)?
TIA
