My pops always told me growing up,"better to have one and not need it, then need one and not have it." And I live by that. This world ain't safe like you force yourself to believe. Me, I'd rather kill the person trying to kill me. You can take the bullets since you give no shit about dying for your 60" tv

You also do realize that 03MachMe is a cop by profession, right?

I'm just going to get in the mix here. Those of us who carry do it for protection. Regardless if they need it or not. So don't ever say some take it too far because there is no god damn thing as being to protective or safe over your life or your family's. You will never know when you may need a gun to stop something bad from happening. Perfect example had someone been carrying at the movies theaters that terrible night in CO. someone could had dropped that guy and saved many of lives. Would they had taken the gun in to purposely kill no they went in to watch a damn movie. But went in prepared.

So you don't think having a holster on your fucking steering Column is taking it a lil far? Yea sometimes people that carry can stop some stuff but at the same time they might not be able to stop stuff. I'm not saying wanting to have protection is a bad thing. I bought my wife a 9mm and then spent 3 weekends and over 1000 rounds training her to shoot properly and effectively while still being safe. If we go anywhere on a long trip she gets the gun not me. I'm not gonna have her carry all the time. We live with out fear of being gunned down like we live in the 1800s in dodge city. That's our opinion. If she decided to carry I would support her but the second she wanted to put a holster on her steering column, under the coffee table, behind the head board of the bed, in a fake brink on the outside walk by the front door.. I would have her go on dooms day preppers and have her see a doctor.

I think you have been in comifornia too long. The world's not all flowers and sunshine and I'm glad you can convince yourself it is but there are people out there that want only to hurt others and I would not want to be caught in a situation that I would be at a disadvantage. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure I have the upper hand. And if you think I am crazy for that then call me nuts

hey Ryan question for you man, I thought even if you had your CHL or if you don't since its legal to have in your vehicle in TX that it couldn't be visible in the car? That it could be loaded and ready to fire.but I was under the impression it had to be out of visible sight. So wouldn't it on the steering column be visible?

It can not be in plain sight, like sitting on your passenger seat. I would consider under the steering column hidden as unless your door is open and your not it in the car it's not easily viewable. I wouldn't leave it there when not in the car tho. That's asked for it to be stolen

**JDBishopArts** · 12-02-2013, 12:23 AM

I keep mine within arms reach at all times loaded and ready to fire.

I used to not but I had an incident in San Antonio that made it a little more important to me.

Same here, in both San Antonio and Dallas I have had my vehicles broken into and homes broken into. Criminals don't break into homes in the hood cus they most likely have nothing. They go to the nice areas where there's plenty of shit to take. I have friends who keep their cars unlocked thinking, "It won't happen to me". Then they're pissed cus all their shit is gone the next day. I've witnessed it firsthand, and if I can do something to prevent it from happening again I will.

Almost don't wanna lock my car. I'd rather them steal my radio vs bust out my window and then steal my radio... But then again who the hell wants a stock radio? I don't leave stuff in my car so if someone breaks into it they might as well just steal the car.

**Oxford14Stang** · 12-02-2013, 03:22 PM

Okay I lost interest in this conversation. Five.slow you obviously have your own opinion vs the majority of us in here and your sticking to your beliefs. More power to you man, and I mean no disrespect or trying to start shit. To each their own and I hope your never at that same stop sign that you hit every day and some person goes bananas and puts you in a situation where you wished you had your gun on you but didn't because that stop sign has always been a "safe" location and it is because by all means you wouldn't put yourself in a bad location. ... you know what its pointless. I'm done.
