John Lee gets a holster
 
for those long trips.

Smith Model 60 riding in a Texas Custom Holster. Drivers side door mount.

Secure, discrete and readily at hand.

Couldn't ask for better.

Nice. How hard is it to grab with your left hand against the door like that?

Sharps40 06-23-2014 08:23 PM

Re: John Lee gets a holster
 
That's why it has a spacer, the grab is easy, smooth and positive. Plus, allows me to stand up, holster/unholster when I get in and out....no fumbling from the seat necessary.

They have em for dash, column mount, inside and outside the center console, etc, etc.

This particular one works for DS door, DS kick panel, inside DS side console, under dash for right hand, outside of console on PS side, etc. Plenty of options.

good thing the door is all steel, magnets have a hard time sticking to bondo!!! or newer plastic ones for that matter...

Re: John Lee gets a holster
 
Not sure I'd like people possibly glimpsing a gun each time the door opens or closes. Unless you're keeping it on you whenever you're not in the truck.

Sharps40 06-24-2014 05:11 AM

I open carry 99% of the time. CC occasionally. Trust me....nobody notices you are wearing a gun because they don't glimpse anything of merit beyond arms length. That's why criminals find it easy to mug and rob ya and why when someone gets run down they say "I didn't even see it coming"....folks just don't see whats going on around them! They won't see a handgun on the door either.

Yeah. Had a couple extra holes down there from an old map pocket holder thingie. Figured I'd fill one and add a couple. Speakers is next but I'll have to get a big old drill bit to make those holes.

Re: John Lee gets a holster
 
Looks cool but, I share the same concern that someone else stated about someone seeing the weapon when I open the door like at the gas station. May not be an issue in NC. Are ya'll an open carry state? If so, understand.

Sharps40 06-24-2014 12:13 PM

NC is Gods Country for Independence, Freedom, Constitution and the Bill of Rights. If yall are worried bout seein guns....don't move here. If yall wanna be free in all the ways gaurenteed by the Founding Fathers, consider leaving where yer at. Be sure ya bring yer trucks when ya move.

Starting in West by God and heading South in my situation, or East for most of this fine state. We can OC on into Virginny and down with them Tarheels. I don't know about OC with them Palmetto boys but my CC card is good with them and with those Georgia Peaches and the gators in Fla.

Now then when I head West I can go all the way to my home state of Califunny before I have to disarm my person. Once I get to that border my rights are severely repressed.

Sharps40 I like what you've done there.

Guess I'm just not redneck and ignorant enough to feel I need to pack a gun to be " 'Merican"

Personally got nothing against guns, feel it's a privilege, not a requirement.
Responsible people with them don't scare me- the ones that "have to have them to defend God and Country" do.... Seems they're the most paranoid , of what??who knows.

To each there own, just not a big deal for me.

I guess I'm "redneck and ignorant" by your measure. Seems a bit judgmental, but to each his own. I choose to carry every day, as is my right, because I'm an American (.spelled with an "A"). I choose to carry because I have the ability and what I believe to be a moral duty. I would feel far worse if harm came to my family or a fellow citizen because I took the easy and convenient path and left my weapon at home. Carrying is not an easy or "redneck" thing, it's a responsibility thing. Apparently my military service and getting familiar with other parts of the planet have skewed my view, but there's a big difference between "paranoid" and prepared. When trouble happens the unprepared usually get called victims or casualties, but like you said, to each his own.

And those guys who carried guns to defend God and country on the beaches of Normandy? Where would this country be without guys like that?

Yes Sir! Firearms and good bourbon. A hell of a combination.

Ah Geeez ... Just when I start to feel like my affair with trucks was based on the simple principles of hard work and utility over fashion, somebody reminds me that all trucks are inextricably linked to guns and the need to defend what's mine as an American. Dang!

in your cars up here

Because the cops are allowed to carry guns in their cars, right? Seems sad that someone would get shot for possession of a holstered weapon independent of any intent or act of aggression. Bummer!

I'm retiring soon and will be traveling the country enjoying all it has. I've already checked Texas as a state to avoid and now I can add NC. Just what the world needs, more paranoid people packing guns. This isn't the old west.

I'm not sure whether it mass paranoia or a fashion statement.

Amen.

Its unfortunately getting worse in our County, land of the free...home of the brave , when those who take for granted thier freedom and the price that others paid to serve and stand up for the rights of this great nations freedom are warm in thier homes after a full meal , own a computer and have enough education to use it, are confused about someones holster and are selfish enough to type about it. I suggest spending some time in a 3rd world country, come home to this one and volunteer some time at the local VA Hospital. You might even hang an American flag on your home ( if your neighborhood ccr's will let you).

I get real tired of people killing each other in God's name. I'm sure that's not his intention even though people have been doing it for centuries. The last war that we were truely fighting for our freedom was WWII. Our freedom had nothing to do with any since then. I support our troops for fighting these manufactured wars. It's just a pity they have to.
If you want to post on a truck thread about your love for guns then I have the right to post my opinion. I don't think this is the place for either but I'm not going to sit by and say nothing.

Maybe it should be.

"Responsible people with them don't scare me- the ones that "have to have them to defend God and Country" do.... Seems they're the most paranoid , of what??"

Maybe losing their freedom to inexperienced people voting them away.

"To each there own, just not a big deal for me."

Make sure you vote that way then, because for alot of people, including the ones who wrote and died for our Constitution, it is!
