Prius in power mode actually gets on it

Now days it would be a quick window smash and grab! Me and a couple friends of mine would always carry are guns in the truck to high school in ‘72-73 so as soon as we got out, we were on are way to dove, quail or duck hunting or the strip pits for target practice. Several folks had them displayed in the rear window gun rack as you stated! Sad days now!

I remember those days well. They were good times!👍😎

Same💯

I carried a 22lr with bird shot walking to grade school shooting birds in the orchards, putting it in the unlocked hall closet and taking it home after school.

Facts. My ‘67 Scout had a rack between the seats. Usually held my Winchester 94 .30-30 & Ithaca 37 20 gauge. Probably even forgot to lock it on occasion with no consequence.

I see being called old as a compliment, that means I was smart enough to make it to an old age.

I agree none of my rifles have optics that require batteries iron sights only.

I’m old enough to remember when you either used a scope or didn’t. Now it’s “running optics.”

@@brinsonharris9816 I’m a 2000 baby so I’m skilled with them all but I favor the stock sights unless I’m going dark or playing what I call safety watching my team run through houses and watch the surroundings areas

@@garythornbury9793 I used to be the same way but they do make etched reticle scopes that take batteries but work the same as a regular scope without batteries but do light up when turned on which helps in low light and other situations where a standard black reticle is difficult to pick up. With the power off you have the standard black reticle so you get the best of both worlds.

Nothin' wrong with that. My dad's favorite gun. Put a lot of deer meat on the table, incredibly accurate, and reliable. It's not the tool (unless it's junk) that determines success. It's skills, mindset, and _experience in using those skills and mindset_ (from Danaher's _Principles of Animal Combat_ - Lex Friedman's channel) .

i would like a mares leg lever action in .357, .44 mag. or even .45 long colt

30/30 is no joke. Better than nothing and superior to many other rounds you could have choose. Shot placement is what matters anyway.

Nothing wrong with that. Roll with my great grandfather's 32 Winchester special as my second truck gun along with my primary truck gun during hunting season, along with the bolt gun

Lever action 30-30 is one of my bucket list guns🤙🏽

Amen!

I fully agree with you, he has nice legs.

@@yeoldmetalhead6592 i mentioned nothing about this mans legs.

Good observation. You can also pre-decide which you're going to go for now so you don't have to think about it when your frontal-lobes shut down in an emergency. Maybe think thru the most likely scenarios and develop a short protocol to get you into the fit. Sounds like in this instance the 1911 was the best combination of caliber and access you had available to you.

It’s not necessarily carry less guns. Emotional and mental fitness plays a huge role in the way you’ll react in any self defense situation. In your situation you should’ve grabbed the weapon most accessible to you ,which would’ve been your 1911, and prepared to defend yourself if it came down to it.

And when I say prepare to defend yourself I don’t mean brandish you’re firearm. I mean your pistol should be removed from your holster at the ready pointed in a safe position.

If I may offer a 2nd observation: Don't go to Killeen unless you absolutely must (not that Galveston is much safer; at least it wasn't when I was growing up). Having to go to Killeen regularly is a big reason I even keep a truck gun. That city is full of drug mules & human traffickers due to it's proximity to I-35. Most people wouldn't think it's as bad as it is, given its size, but they'd be wrong lol. I sorta' live in the sticks but I'm only about 30min from Ft. Hood/Killeen & that city is a SHIT hole. The per capita crime rate is something to behold. I feel sorry for Army wives that move there, want to live off-base, but decide that Temple or Belton are too long of a commute. They only realize after the lease is signed what a nightmare they've put themselves in. In fact, there's a couple of AD guys near me renting homesteads; both moved there bc they or their family got tired of the crime in Killeen. There's crime everywhere, but bc it's major drug/human-trafficking related, the scum there are of the...um..."heartier" variety. i.e. - they will shoot at someone in a crowded friggin gas station.

😂

Thats odd you had a SU-16A variant in 92. Since they didn't start producing guns till 95

@@Icybones000 True. And the SU-16CA came about in the early 2000s. I had a Mini-14 with a folding stock prior to that. I thought I wrote that in there, but I guess I didn't.

I carry a Glock 9 mm in my front pocket and a Kel Tec Sub 2000 Glock mag compatible in a CamelBak I carry daily also.

I was in San Diego when that wet down. I kept my Wife home from work for fear of what you experienced. That day is probably in my top ten life experiences for sure. I always carry my Glock but now it makes since keeping my AR-15 in the car.

Yes sir...Glock19 & 300 Blackout 8.5 in The Silverado

I think that's true of most Navy Seals, I worked as a commercial diver in the Gulf of Mexico one of our dive superintendents was an ex seal, I would have never known he was, It was other coworkers who pointed it out. One of the greatest guys I've worked for in my life not a yeller, Calm cool collected.

He’s also a devout believer in Christ, which makes him very humble in most everything he does! There are a few target practice videos that he gets pretty cocky, but it’s all in fun with his good buddies!

Like those guys that say "Because I have such large hands" every other sentence!!! LOL

Basic Rifle Marksmanship doesn't exist in our military anymore. These days all that's required is to be able to point the muzzle and spew lead. Not enough "tech" in iron sights for the GEN Y & Z'ers.

LOL nowadays lever-action rifles ARE high end gun! But yes they are awesome for purposes such as this (just like on horseback) because they are short, relatively light, and handy! I'm so glad that I already owned a couple before they became more scarce and went up in price so rapidly these last few years

You pull out a lever gun and no how to use it I’m not messing with you

I used to carry my Marlin 1894 .357 with a 2.5x scout scope. It’s now impossible to replace and worth quite a bit, a safe queen now

Absolutely right my friend. I can’t afford a 900 dollar rifle to keep in my truck. I got better things to spend my money on. My Marlin 336 is good for me

I love mine, chambered in 9mm and keep it in a tennis racquet bag.

Entry level? Guy, if you're spending more than that, you're just wasting your money. You will never encounter a situation that exceeds the capabilities of those two firearms.

@@robinstewart6510 I never said differently. Both the Ruger and the S&W are very good rifles that are worth every penny. And yes, both are considered "entry level" in the AR market. Look it up.

Gotta love the tacticool guys. I’m willing to bet my left testicle most people now days can’t shoot unless they have a red dot of some sort. It’s good to work with both, but technology will always fail when you need it to work.

ACOGS are oooooooold tech bro

@@wango556 yes, and the military still fields this equipment because it need little service and does not use batteries or lasers. Hard to break, easy to use, stays zeroed after a fall or in my case after getting jostled around in an MRAP that hit a back laid IED. Glock is also old tech and people seem to love them and other makers have adopted the technology.

@@wango556 I bet you can't even afford a Taurus LOL gtfo wango

Also Opsol adapter for mini shells for added capacity. Changed my 7+1 to 12+1 shots of #4 buck

Even an inexpensive breach single shot shotgun is handy for a "truck" as a breaching tool device.

a cheap used mossberg 500 with pistol grip and 18.5 inch barrel

@@commiesnzombies exactly Mossberg Maverick 88 Cruiser. Not much fun shooting slugs w/o a stock, but even less fun for the bad guy on the other end 😂. Minishells the way to go, less power but more capacity and you can literally shoot with one hand hardly any recoil.

@@staticpiece They make a folding stock for the cruiser. It's a pain on your shoulder, though you can glue on a butt pad pretty easy.

I have also though about this, bring a pack back in after coming home every day seems like the only option. I don't like leaving a blaster in a vehicle overnight without being secure. Maybe a long box to lock up but then does the vehicle have the space. I do like the idea of folding pistol carbine or folding ar pistol. Things are getting crazy out there !

Did you say in your pocket???? Hopefully holstered.

@@brandonmontemayor8178 in my front pocket all day everyday with a front pocket soft holster. Holster or not guns just don’t go off by themselves. I could hold that gun to my own head 24/7 and never worry about it going bang unless I squeezed the trigger.

just in case what? you encounter something you can't solve with a pistol? in which case, you need a rifle, not a pcc. truck guns are an incredibly stupid idea. what is the purpose of leaving the gun in your truck? just take it inside when you get home. pcc are a scam. carry a proper compact or full size pistol, and then have a rifle stowed in your vehicle whenever you leave your house. take the rifle with you into your house.

@@cagneybillingsley2165 good observation. I'm still debating if I should keep my pcc or get rid of it to get a better handgun that I really like. I shoot handguns well so I wonder if a pcc is is really necessary. Like you said, an argument could be made that if a pistol can't get you out of trouble then you need a rifle. Otherwise pcc's are really fun and have more capacity but still, I have a shotgun too which has more power than a damn pcc, and so I keep wondering.

@@cagneybillingsley2165 an sbr with a foldable stock solves all those issues. Take it in the house inside of your backpack. Always keep a low profile.

A pcc isn’t a scam. One of the main reasons of having a long gun in the truck is being able to engage more comfortably at range and most of these calibers are accurate up to 200 yards. Granted storing a gun in your vehicle could be thought of as I’ll advised and variables should be considered before doing so but it could be a viable option.

@@AllThingsLoud_ yea I don’t see anything scammy about them except perhaps the price. In that you’d expect them to be cheaper than an AR 🤷🏽‍♂️ But yea it’s personal preference it’s the same reason some people prefer 9mm over 45. Comfortable and minimal recoil is nice...plus you have more rounds than handguns w normal sized mags

The primary arms cyclops gen 2 runs about $280, has great clear glass, an etched version of the awesome ACSS reticle which has a bunch of little ranging features that serve double duty as precision holdovers for various close shots (5yd/10yd/15yd all fall on an easily recognizable piece of the reticle), it gets 33k hours of battery life on a setting that’s bright enough to see on a white background with a white light shining on it, yet doesn’t starburst into unusable glare in total darkness. It has auto off/ shake awake, and it fits mini ACOG quick detach mounts such as from ADM. For $300-$400 depending on if you go for the mount or not, it’s a phenomenal bargain, and I sometimes find myself putting it on my “nice” rifles because I just really really love it. That said, I always run a fixed front sight and a rear sight that’s fixed or folding depending on what I have laying around. Even with a fixed rear, the sights still only go to a lower 1/3 cowitness and don’t impede your use of the optic, but if something happened you could rip that thing off (one could say you could detach it, quickly), and use the proper irons. A set of good irons is more than capable, but I always find that a single point of aim, IE a dot, etched or otherwise, is just faster and more accurate. Great video and great info. Another consideration for a truck gun that I’ve messed with is a pistol light on the support hand side; it’s easily turned on with the thumb, and something like the surefire x300 turbo now is putting out high candela that lets you get quite a bit of range while being extremely rugged. That being said, this is kind of an idea for someone who may already have one of these style pistol lights sitting around and is contemplating building a truck gun. Buying one new is coming pretty close to buying a full blown duty grade rifle optic in price ( they’re a hair over $300 when I see them - if buying new? Consider a surefire TLR-1 for half the money, but also much less performance). Again, real cool content and good ideas.

Why

​@@wango556, because he wants to.

Great choice. What do you run in it? Slugs or buckshot?

@@PD-we8vf slugs for little more range but also carry 00 buck

It's not what I chose, but I would think it's a good choice

Your not the only one! I have one in my truck as well.

For those of us who have outlived our 20/20 vision, a shotgun is probably a good choice. Can you run a brace on the shockwave, or has that time passed?

Aero and Colt are in the same price point and quality. Mid range

@@wolfpack4672 What makes a rifle high end?

@@jhutch1470 I don't know, other than price. I don't own any of that high end stuff. What I do know is he said you can get a colt for $900 I know an aero cost $1100

@@wolfpack4672 Oh, ok. My take is that the three things that make a gun go bang are the barrel, with chamber, the bolt carrier group, and the trigger. I spend my money there. The rest is just furniture. I also hear people talking about high end is super accuracy at 500 yards. I'll take a "mid range" gun all day.

Holo suns aren’t bad on price point. The solar panel and the shake awake system it has is why I love them. Let’s be honest. Things happen in milliseconds. Taking time to turn an optic on if you’re truly in the shit is a liability.

Exactly

Waaaaaaaaaay to long and not collapsible

I run the Vortex Spitfire on a couple of my primary ARs. The etched reticle is a really nice feature.

Keeping it in a roof rack is a horrible idea. Sounds like something dreamed up by a Californian.

@@PD-we8vf Humm please tell me why it’s a horrible idea…Maybe just keeping it under the back seat is a better idea …smh Also you do realize I’m not talking about keeping on the roof of the car, a roof rack keeps it secured inside the vehicle.

You hit at 500 because that B-mod black is 20” wide by 40” tall. That’s a big damn stationary target. When we moved to the RCO (ACOG) and 14.5” barrels, Marines routinely hit 10/10 shots at the 500. Unheard of scores for the POG non-grunt masses in the iron sights days. Optics make the rifleman more lethal, by increasing hit rate and accuracy potential. There ain’t no fighting it brother, Semper Fi. (Edited to add that backup irons are always required, and 20” is a big damn stick for a vehicle gun - 16” hits just about as hard and can be had in dissipator length full rifle sight radius. Check out BallisticsByTheInch for some hard data on what .223 or 5.56 NATO does and doesn’t do from longer barrels. It may surprise you to see the diminishing returns after 16-18”. M16 A3 wasn’t around in the 80’s - that’s a flattop receiver that lacks a built-in carry handle. M16 A2 came in around the early to mid 80’s. If your rear sight required a tool for adjustment, then you had a M16A1 and not an A2 or A3.

Too bad your busy eating crayons with your M3 lmao we all know marines have the lowest asvab looooooooooooolllll an acog is such old tech u sound dumb saying it

I always think the same thing. KD ranges are good for basic marksmanship, but not good for actual combat shooting. The ACOG was a game changer. @@theaccount628
