Working!

Sam,

If your still light-headed it's because you got a concussion in that fall. Lay off the shooting for a week or two.

He used to do concrete. Those guys don't get hurt when they get hit on the head.

Dad, Nash and me went out this morning to do some calling and hoping to mebbe see a lion track. Didn't have any luck. The .22-250 and a pair deuces rode along though.



Please pardon those seat covers.. They came with the Jeep.. I need to get some feed sacks...

I see a lot of rifles muzzle down in these pics. How many actually carry their guns like this in their trucks?

I always carry mine like that, but the barrels are always taped..

Ben

carry mine muzzle up. there is an interesting article over on LRH. guy takes a punch and knocks a chunk out of the crown of his .308 and still shoots sub MOA. Another guy took a carbide bur to the crown and first 1/2" of barrel and still shot surprisingly good groups given the bore and crown looked worse than most dirt roads I have seen in baja.

Muzzle down in the front seat. That way the barrel isn't pointed at someone's face, which tends to happen at some point during the day with muzzle up carry.

Poobs, that dog is awesome.


CFVA, my dad's juvenile heeler pup goes nuts if we leave him in the pickup. Even if we are in sight working nearby. He really just wants to be doing something with the cows all the time.

Absolute cow terrorist!

He pawed my rifle off the dash today, had a brand new owners manual and he almost chewed it up.

And he knows not to be doing that kind of chit, just so full of energy. They ran a few miles today behind the pickup.



Dog rambling.



J Loco, camo chilly grips bro?

Stylin'!



Dakota, I remember everything so it wasn't very bad. Hit the ground(stunned) but still remember seeing my legs right in front of the duals. Luckily my dad was stopped and didn't drive forward. Stupid move on my part, good reminder to slow down and be more careful!




Ben, now that is stylin'! Nice beater there.....grin




As for the muzzle issue, the dash works great in the feed pickup.
Some dashes are not rifle friendly but an '08 Ford works great. '03 not so much. Always taped regardless, always empty chamber, tripped trigger, etc..

The little Kimbers muzzle doesn't even really touch the floor boards. Kinda stays wedged up most of the time.

Agree with muzzle down with passengers, which is rare in my truck, unless its the dog, and she doesnt know any better.

Let's see, truck guns, hummn..........

Maybe not exactly on the same page, but

I drive a ford f-350 pickup



I hunt, and due to the nature of my business I encounter both two and four legged varmints.

What's the old story.

I get pulled over by the local constabulary as I don't and never have had a front licnse plate.

In Texas you have to show your CHL along with your driver's license.

After doing so, the officer asks, Mr. Brown, are you armed.

Well, lets see,

I have a big sky rack overhead and have a 45-70 guide gun and 12 gauge defender pump ensconsed therein


amt 380 back-up in the console


Glock 35 long slide in 40.S&W in fanny pack


Ruger LCP, 380, in fanny pack


not to mention the kahr 9 under my arm and the 38 Smith airweight snubby around my right ankle.

He takes a step back and asks,

Mr. Brown, what are you afraid of?

I calmly reply,

Not a friggin thing.

Best,

GWB

Geedub, looks like your carrying a full arsenal... grin.



The 88's got a vinyl bench seat so no need for the feed sacks. In the trucks with cloth seats we have a piece of Ag bag stashed underneath for when needed. But if I really cow flop myself I haven't been afraid to drive home in my boxer shorts...grin

As to the barrel question, I usually carry mine behind the seat.

[bleep] happens, doesn't it? I'm propped up tonight after having surgery on my foot today, all because of a damned cow.

Damn, I hope you heal up fast!! Get well buddy..

Thanks, man! I appreciate it.

Hoping I can get up and about pretty quick, need to wire the garage up. Finished building it last night and got butchered on today, talk about taking it down to the wire!

G, cowboy Cadillac youse got there. I'd be losing firearms with that many floating around the cab!



CFVA, sucks about your foot. I gotta ask what the ol' cow did?

Not a truck, but dogs and guns. Does it still count?

Oh yeah Poobs, that counts!



Sticking with the scary black rifle theme...


Last Winter.

Dog is pretty scary too!

Great pic!
