“The driver, 30-year-old Norman Gurley of Michigan, was pulled over for speeding,” dailycaller.com reports. “A highway patrolman noticed wires running to a secret compartment in the car and arrested Gurley, even though there were no drugs in the compartment. The officer also claimed he smelled marijuana in the compartment — giving him probable cause to search it — though none was ultimately discovered. It makes no difference whether police find drugs or not, according to a new Ohio law that prohibits secret compartments.” True story. As TTAG tipster One_if_by_land1776 points out, “welcome to the world of pre-crime.” And say goodbye to Fourth Amendment protections. Anyway, how do you carry in a car? OWB as always for me. You?
Two for the price of one. I just purchased a .308 and love it. I am selling my M-77 heavy 22-250 and will use that money to by another American in 22-250. I will have to wrap it with camp tape to tell them apart.
The gun is so light at 6.5 lbs, love the shorter barrel and I do not notice a huge loss of accuracy over the M-77. I also spent $120 to change out the trigger on the M-77. I love that trigger, it is sweet, but although the American is not as sweet the pull is crisp and feels good.
Just another feeble minded attempt to make fun of HK after some thorough Facebook research. Too bad you didn’t even look deep enough to find out it wasn’t even HK’s picture.
Gotta love this great, holier than thou journalism. Is this a CNN website?
I hook my paddle holster to the side bin of my door. Keeps it fairly secure.
I’m quite confident there are more mothers who own firearms to protect their children than there are moms who are members of Illegally Demanded Mayoral Mothery Gun Action.
It is amazing how different STL County is from STL City.
going into certain parts of the city is like a trip to the dark side of the moon . . . .
What a waste of time…. with a bunch of theoretical mounting locations and nameless “universal” products. I keep in my holster on my side…. all the time even driving…. or I move my gun to inside breast pocket of my “gun vest”. If I do “mount” in the car, I put it in the door lower storage box/compartment….. If I have a threat in my car I am likely going to use my car to get away or as a weapon….. PS the gun should ALWAYS be in a holster with trigger covered.
Look at this anti-gun/anti-NRA garbage that I just found
Especially frustrating/interesting is this brainwashing tidbit from their site:
“CAUTION
Whenever you hear ANYTHING about guns that seems appealing, reasonable or factual KNOW IT IS PROBABLY NOT TRUE. For the facts contact us at: [email protected]“
*edit more outlandish craziness from their site:
“3. Create Fear, Maximize Sales to Criminals
Fact: The Criminal market = 25% of the gun industry’s annual sales.*
The NRA fights to protect this market share,
They must defeat any law that would make it harder for criminals to get guns e.g. laws to stop gun trafficking, close the gun show loophole, etc.
THEN SAY
“You need a gun with you at all times to protect you from armed criminals.””
I tend to leave my primary in it’s holster about 4 o’clock. I’m a small guy with a big SUV and it’s neither uncomfortable nor difficult for me to draw from this position. Often though I keep a secondary either on me or in the console and when driving overly far my secondary often ends up in the console because it’s easier to get to than my primary.
That said, I’ve been reading about this ‘secret compartment’ law in my home state and I’m beyond incensed and more than little worried. The very nature of the thing, legislating against having a hiding place, is so vague and prone to abuse that it seems unlikely (I’m hoping) that it can pass constitutional muster. For that matter I can’t fathom the states interest in eliminating hiding places, it’s as if the concept of the 4th amendment were somehow excised from the minds of the legislature and it will now be up to the courts to re-educate them Re: the constitutional rights of the people. Let us hope it is so.
DeSantis IWB canted, right side. Comfortable to drive and (relatively) easy to draw while driving if necessary.
The problem is, if a trooper wants into your car he only need speak the magic words “I smell the odor of Marijuana.”
No consent to search?Never smoked weed in your car ever?Too bad, the officer smells pot anyway.Get out and bend over.
It stays in my holster. If I have to disarm myself for any reason, it goes into a small safe that’s secured under the seat.
Nice job. I don’t always agree, but you guys do a very professional job. Keep it up. And the reviews are just about perfect.
Fantastic writing and always-lively commentary. It’s no surprise that you guys are kicking ass. I find the population far more level headed over here than on most other gun sites, too. Less gung-ho chest thumping and more reasonable conversation. Who’d a thunk?
No.7, Mosins. Whoot, whoot.
Happy New Year to all from an outpost in the Formerly Free state of Maryland!
May freedom return soon.
We are soooooo F’in screwed.
The light of freedom dies and we shall see it’s last light. Our children shall live in darkness.
Particularly dangerous and unnecessary for self-defense? Ok, I figure if they want to play that game then all of Rifles use by NYPD are particularly dangerous and unnecessary for self-defense. What a freaking dope this guy is!
I keep seeing over and over in rulings from the courts how a “legitimate government interest” overrides individual liberties. That is WRONG and morally repugnant. I cannot ever see an instance where a “government interest” overrides a liberty since government’s only legitimate interest is to defend liberty! You don’t take away a liberty to “defend” another.
What if a citizen’s brain holds the key to cure Alzheimer’s disease? Since government has a legitimate interest to “promote the general welfare”, and curing millions of people from Alzheimer’s disease definitely falls under “promoting the general welfare”, does that empower government to execute the citizen so we can get the cure from their brain?
Our government now claims to be the arbiter of liberties — deciding which liberties to trade in a bogus effort to secure others. God help us all.
If I had an LCP in my anus while driving though Ohio…would I be breaking the secret compartment law?
Mil-spec Colt 6920 buh bye! You’re now resigned to the trash can for all the mil-spec fan bois who ain’t mil-spec themselves.
Colt’s sales and stock will plummet. Nice move FN. Nice move.
Shannon is not arrogant. She is naive. She is silly. She is delusional. She is smug, and condescending, rude, and impatient with those who dare question her batting eyes, flip of hair, and who otherwise fail to respond to her siren song, and . . . . . well, phuk it. SHE IS ARROGANT!!! $20 says she won’t engage in real debate.
of course, we could have the debate at MDA world corporate HQ in Zionsville over tea and cookies. . . . . maybe John can pick up a bottle of wine on his way home from the art gallery.
As a man of simple taste, I appreciate the shout out for Busch. It pairs well with a sharp cheddar and slim jims.
despite her attempt to seem cultured and well-mannered (hey, she slept her way to bagging the big dog at her former employer . . . just saying), Shannon’s STL area roots were piqued with the Busch reference indeed.
In hand, hanging out the window, other hand with middle finger raised, driving with my knees.
‘F*** the police’ playing loudly on repeat.
And that’s exactly why they WON’T do it. They don’t want a discussion or an argument. They want their opinion to win unopposed. They regularly attempt to SILENCE people who disagree with them and do everything in their power to avoid direct confrontation with logic, facts or anyone with a reasoned viewpoint that disagrees with their own.
I finally made the top reviews. Life is complete now.
As irritating as it is to see their drivel cluttering up this site, I would rather keep track of what they are spewing here than going to the source and generating traffic that they will tout as “support.”
Holy Hell, those are ugly. Like troll ugly.
MDA is not interested in anything that has to do with anything except throwing ALL guns in the ocean…..PERIOD! They can propagate all day long but they do not want discussion,they know NOTHING of crime or gun statistics( except for the BS the Anti’s literally fabricate). The just want All Guns off the face of the Earth and that is it.None of any of these Ass-Wholes MAIG,MDA,Brady etc. respect or accept the Constitution os the United States,The President,on his own accord and agenda ,without Congressional consent or Constituant endorsement(as is typical for liberals) signs theUN treaty on Gun Control in direct conflict to our Constitution! Clueless wonders all of them!
Let these ignoramuses spout all they want,They ,not we ,are in Direct Conflict of Federal Law.
As for me,No Common Ground,No Discussion,as ” Give em an inch,they’ll take a mile” rule applies with this Sick Faction of America who has NOT LEARNED THEIR LESSON of History of what happens to an unarmed Citizenry .
Their Approch to crime by waving the Bloody Shirt is to punish anyone who owns firearms versus the Real Problem of CRIME and MURDER.I don’t believe it is as much mental illness as it is just plain repeat offenders being let out of jail so they can make room for gun owners who have 8 rounds vs 7 rounds in their magazine.
If they were REALLY interested in stopping GunViolence they would talk with Gun Violence offenders in Prison and find out Where they got guns( on the street,NOT gun shows or background check places) and how they would have been reluctant to perpetrate an ARMED neighborhood vs California,New York ,Wash DC ,and Chicago.
BUT that would mean they would have to use their BRAINS ,so I guess THAT’s OUT!
I don’t want to sound defeatist, but what’s the point of looking at reviews of weapons that will be taken away from us eventually?
Hopefully, I’m wrong.
Is there any way to adjust the trigger ? Or change it to an easier pull ?
Politicians long ago learned that its unproductive to ask members of the opposite party to change their minds and vote for you. Instead, what they do is identify people pre-disposed to see things their way and make sure they turn out.
PS: these people live in their fantasy worlds where FakeBook “likes” matter. What real man (or woman) for that matter wastes time in FB? Two years ago it was PTA mommies preening and teens were moving on to the next thing.
arrgh. sorry for typos.comment box no workee for edit in my old kindle which does not load the comment box well in either in mobile or desktop view…and suffers from my fat fingering too. Sorry will save future commenting on the laltop which does.
Typical liberal response. We hate guns until we need them.
BTW, I have bow and will travel for tags if anyone is listening.
Kel-Tec seems satisfied with producing only enough firearms for the market as it takes to fund their personal firearms designing and plinking hobby. I don’t consider them a serious firearms manufacturer. Their own website at one point, and perhaps still, cited their barrel lives at only six thousand rounds. Maybe they come up with an interesting model every now and then, but they’re still all hat and no cattle.
Reddit…You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
