Exactly...I have my gun to protect me and my loved ones....not my car. If they walk up unarmed, I will not pull my gun. If they walk up with anything resembling an object that could be used as a weapon, they're going to get the bad end of a boom stick shoved in their face. I will not be a victim to these scumbags.Yeah, I had a little league baseball bat on the side of my seat was rendered useless when I got jacked and shot in the shoulder. They could've taken my car at that time as well, had full coverage insurance and gave it up willfully, problem is the cowards shot anyway therefore NO!! I don't think so..
Anyone Else Packing??

Mr. Negative
I have insurance, but if someone wants to take my vehicle while I'm anywhere around it, I don't intend to file a claim against my insurance company. Those seventeen $1.00 per bullet rounds stored in my legal carry weapon aren't there for show and tell.

This is true. I dont disagree with Carrying a gun while driving. Hell I have a gun on me when ever I am not at school or work and still its tucked away in the truck. Its just not a good Idea to keep it in a place like some in here do. I can grab it out of my Pass. seat pocket quick with no problems. I would rather me have to tell the officer where the gun is then him see it when he pulls me over.

Yes, PA is the same. As long as I feel threatened, I will not be arrested for using my gun as a CCW holder. The civil liability cases are a different story in some states, but PA has a castle doctrine which includes your workplace, home, vehicle and eminent domain. I am not concerned with civil cases... If I feel I need to use my gun, I am ready to.
Also, Cartwright: This is the same location I had it mounted when I was pulled over in the past. You cannot see it from outside the vehicle. Front drivers side window, the angle is too extreme and it is covered by the dash. Back drivers side, all passenger side and rear are covered by seats and/or center console. In one instance, the trooper didn't even think about asking me where they were, and handed my license, CCW card, and insurance right back to me and asked me to slow down. In the other instance, I handed him the card with my insurance and license and had my hands on the wheel. He asked if I minded unloading the weapons while he runs my information. I remove the magazine from the one onto the passenger seat, and cleared the chamber and set the gun on the passenger seat. I then removed my S&W J frame from my waist to unload it, and he said, nevermind, don't worry about that one. (Maybe he figured ehhh, what are you gonna do to me with 5 shots from a 38 sp +p, from a 2.5" barrel haha)
Anyway, my logic has always been the same about carrying... if I am ever at the point again, where I feel threatened enough to PULL my weapon on someone, there will be no hesitation for FIRING the weapon. I am a firm believer that concealed means concealed, and do not go around flashing this around as a power statement...it is a tool to protect myself, family, friends and property.
Once again, this was not intended to be a gun debate, but since there is enough opinion out here already...why not...

If you shoot somebody, don't expect to just drive away after the police come. You'll get cuffed and taken to jail for a short time until they complete they complete initial investigation. Even then, if the person has a good attorney and with a good witness for them, you look at spending some time.
I believe Texas has the Castle Doctrine. If someone was breaking into his truck and he felt threatened, he has no duty to retreat. He can use deadly force. He'll still need a lawyer, but he won't have to worry about buying soap on a rope.
Correct, if it's a bad shoot...you'll definitely spend some time in the slammer. But if you shoot somebody that tries to carjack you with a weapon, you have every right to defend yourself...and with my CCW, I have every right to defend myself with a gun in my car if I feel that I am in imminent danger. That would be a good shoot.
However, regretfully Nebraska does not have the Castle Doctrine (yet). I cannot shoot someone just for breaking and entering or stealing property. If someone breaks into my house, I cannot immediately shoot without repercussions. I have a duty to retreat and have to be in danger before I'm legally cleared to shoot.
We've gone through all the education and training to get CCW permits....we know what we have coming should we ever use our weapon--whether it is justified or not. We know the gun laws. We've had to pass some rigorous background checks to get these permits. No one here expects to just drive away if something as ****** as this happens.

Amen. Its the "Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6" type of logic.
