Done

 

I really want to customize my eventually bought Kimber...but...gun modifying is almost as expensive as car modifying :|

 

I picked up a Springfield 1911 A1 in fair condition from a buddy of mine for $400.00 and I figured I'd mod it a little:

VZ Operator Grip
Ed Brown Drop in SS comp barrel
Wilson Tactical Anti Shock spring system
Wilson Tactical SS 10rd extended Mags

It was pretty expensive but shoots sooooo nice now, no malfunctions, minimal recoil, and looks crazy nice.

 

Wow...this thread to a wild turn from the original post. I hope no one has questions as to where to store their pistol in their Z!

 

that's badass. I'll have to start looking harder at used gun auctions and shows. I want a 1911 so bad lol. My Glock 30 .45acp isn't cutting it in the looks department. It's too utilitarian.

I tried sticking my G30 into the bottom part of my HU in the storange bin since I have a single DIN and it's way too obvious looking. I want a secret compartment that opens when I use the radio controls on the steering wheel

 

Any pics Flo-rida?

I usually just wedge my holster between my center console and passenger seat for quick access.

 

OK,, First off, you better be darn sure of the laws where you live. A for instance is New York. If you do not have a proper pistol permit and the right paperwork, you get caught with a handgun in your car even if it is not loaded, you could be in a heap of trouble. Now, if you live in Florida, you can keep the gun in your car, but unless you have a conceal carry license, you had better not take it out of the car and stick it in your pocket. Even as relaxed as Florida's gun laws are, their penalties for breaking them are among the most severe in the country. Threaten another motorist with your gun (Read: just show it in your window, not even pointing it!) and you WILL spend time in jail. Ok, nuff said on this. Be smart or you spend time in jail. Simple.
Now for what I carry in my car. Just about anything from my usual Walther PPK to a Mosin Nagant. Depends on where I'm going and what I plan to do. For daily carry, I use the Walther PPK and it is in the glove box behind the driver's seat, next to the left rear speaker. The door pockets are pathetically small as is the center console glove box. But that rear one fits the Walther perfectly, even in it's pocket holster. Can also keep a few extra mags in there. I use the Walther because it's small enough to carry without showing in jeans and a Tshirt. It ain't the most powerful, but I certainly would not want to be on the wrong end of that little gun. And any gun is better then no gun when you are in a situation.

 

Way to kill the thread, man. Not everyone lives in NY. Get over yourself.

 

Hahaha I thought this thread would get locked after I found the prior thread from searching, but it definitely took a turn for the humorous side of things! And if anyone is/was wondering, like two posts up, I'm constantly reading up on my state's gun laws, and I'm happy with the way things are headed here in sunny Florida.

 

I requested a pick from my lady...

 

Yeah ok... I said you cannot protect yourself from the criminals who get guns. I never said it would make the country safe from criminals. Oh and BTW I'm Canadian, so how dare you assume I'm a redneck.

Also last time I remember living in Canada, you couldn't wear red, blue, or white in school because of gang problems, so don't try to preach that Canada is awesome and has no criminal problems....

 

+1.

 

You can thank those gun hating Canadians for twisting this whole thread...

 

Lmao! It's healthy debate. Plus, it's a car forum on the interwebz, not really a serious platform for political debate, anyway haha.

 

I'm always up for gun debates! Can't really argue with some people's opinions, though. If they don't like them or refuse to ever want to own, carry, or use a firearm, I hope they change their mind, but that may never happen. Personally I'll stick to my 2nd Amendment.

 

 

I don't know where you get your information from, but in Washington State (assuming you don't mean DC, in which case, you would have said Washington DC, right? -- it's a misdemeanor (RCW 9.41.050(3)(b))

Also, There's a loophole in Washington State law that says if you claim your weapon is being transported in the car to go to/from a gun range or a park to go hunting, hiking, fishing, etc., then they cannot prosecute. (RCW 9.41.060(6), RCW 9.41.060(8))

You can also carry your gun in the car in an enclosed case or secure wrapper (RCW 42.91.060(9))

Anyway, in WA, it's so easy to get a CPL, that there's really no reason not to.

 

^ same with AZ before you were allowed to conceal without a permit (that started last year).

All it took to get a CCW was an 80 dollar class and another fee for the permit and renew every two years.

 

I just saw this thread and I knew there would a US vs Canadian debate some where in the thread pages lol.

I don't agree to the right to guns. But that's a personal opinion. I don't hold it against americans who wish otherwise. But simply put, i have never been in a situation where I need a gun, and I am 30 years old. And if that day ever came so be it. If I lived in the states, I would buy one, not for protection, but as a hobby.
