Leaving your firearm in your MV.

[enbloc]

i think many people would agree that all aspects of gun ownership in MA operates on a spectrum of risk analysis

Pro Tip: If you worry too much about Laws... you will suddenly find yourself following them...

 

[Sauer Grapes]

I don't know of any law that prohibits someone from carrying a firearm in a bank, in MA. Someone else brought this up to me not long ago saying "Oh it's a law alright... Trust me." and when I asked him to cite that

There is no statute in Massachusetts law prohibiting a Massachusetts licensed holder from carrying a concealed handgun in a bank.

I knew I’d take shit for posting what I drive

There’s nothing wrong with them outside of being so easy to make fun of.
Lately I’ve been zipping around town in my aunt’s ‘03 RAV4 that she gave me because she’s giving up her license. If I were a less confident man I’d be embarrassed to be seen in it but it gets better gas mileage than my ‘11 4runner and way easier getting into tighter parking spots!

Right, that’s... why I posted what I posted.

 

[lowbuckbob]

I used to run a cable lock through the gun and seat support. Gun would be completely out of sight under the seat. Never had a problem.

 

[jaypap]

I ALWAYS carry a firearm when outside the home except for extremely rare instances where it would just be goofy. Like the beach! Do you have any idea how difficult it is to conceal even a little Seacamp .32 in your speedo?
So what do you guys do??
TY

Don't forget your camouflage...

This is exactly what I have for the 4Runner which has no trunk. In my '83 Mustang the trunk is only accessible by the key so that works.

When you're going to the range with more than will fit into the small lock box, is the back of the 4 runner considered a trunk regarding transportation laws? Or do you need to lock them in a container/bag?

 

[mikelawtown]

I have a backup in my locked container with cable under seat at all times unloaded with mags in same case, I take it out to clean twice a year

 

[fencer]

Dead. To. Me.

But I could just tape it underneath, and you would never see it. I mean really, if your barrel isn't longer than a Seacamp, you might want to switch to regular boys swim trunks.

Buy a Honda Ridgeline, the trunk has a huge lockbox built under the bed.,

The only problem with that, not to pile on, is that you have to drive a Honda Ridgeline.... in public.

This is how we roll in Western Mass.

Wait... I thought we couldn't do that any more! Did I miss another f***in memo?
I just found out from some Speedo wearing guy in another thread, that I have been carrying illegally in the bank for like 15 years.

Lol. "The North Hollywood Bank Job Edition"...
Love it!

For transportation, handguns and large capacity rifles and shotguns need to be “cased” as in prettymuch anything that is capable of being locked. Those soft pistol cases suffice if they have a locking mechanism. If you park and leave the vehicle you are no longer transporting, you are storing in a vehicle. The rules for handguns and large capacity long guns stay the same at that point but with non large capacity long guns, a trigger lock or better will suffice. They don’t even really need to be “cased” but I would never leave any type of gun in plain sight sitting in my vehicle if I leave it.

microvault under the driver's seat, cabled to the seat frame.
About the only time I use it is when I go into a post office.

Car Gun Safes - The Best 10 Vehicle Gun Locks [Updated 2024 ]

As Shooting & Safety's, we investigated a list of best car gun safes across all price ranges to find the most compact gun safe for your vehicle!

www.shootingandsafety.com

I have an inexpensive (Snap-on, I think) "gun safe" that's run by a AAA battery that has three buttons and a six button-push code to open it. It's got a cable that loops through the seat frame under the back seat of my F-150 SuperCrew.

Damn, earlier this year I was looking for one of those and couldn't find any decent ones. IDGAS what anyone thinks about what I drive, I've got a ~70 mile round trip commute and needed something that didn't have me bend over a few times a week. Sooooo happy I wound up with what I did and not the XJ/TJ I wanted.

They still suck on gas - ask me how I know

I keep thinking about getting one of these for my back window.

 

[Dennis in MA]

I thought this was about forgetting your gun after a vacation on the islands.

Honda Ridgelines are for lesbians.

I love girls. I don’t do dudes. Turns out I AM a lesbian!!!

 

[ColdDayInHell]

Unloaded in a locked container. In for the incoming comments

Make sure when you carry it, leave the chamber empty too.

I put one of these in my Wrangler and used a f***load of red Loctite on those 18mm bolts. Good luck

 

[Reptile]

What do you mean you don't CCW at the beach?

I CCW a G43 under my fat roll.

Nobody batted an eye.

And yes, I have maritime spring cups.

 

[FalArAk]

I disassemble mine and spread it throughout my car in strategic places so I don't run afoul of the law.

Also keep the ammo separate in a small combination safe underneath my seat, with the magazine in my glovebox.

 

[cathouse01]

I use a Console Vault in my truck and a lock box cabled to the seat frame in my car. In both cases I just stop the vehicle and remove the key, so there is no question of transporting vs. storing, then just unholster my gun and stick it in the vault/box. No need to unload if you are storing it. After few times you can do it so fast that no one will ever notice, particularly with the truck’s Console Vault.

 

[oppressed]

You boobs fall for these shit OPs every time. Who the hell breaks down their guns and scatters them about the car. JFC.

What the f does this even mean? " Am I breaking the law by disassembling it? I tuck a recoil spring here, a barrel there and ammo and frame get stashed separately as well. Does the frame make what I'm doing illegal? "
