AR Pistol as a truck gun

[papajohn1964]

Just bought a Extar EXP and was wondering how to carry it in the truck. I have a tactical rifle case that it fits in with a magazine in it, is that consider concealed if it's say on the back seat or in the floorboard? I have heard that a pistol laying on the seat covered by a towel is legal but not a good idea. I would eventually like to get it to fit under the backseat somehow but that's going to require taking out the under seat organizer and I'm not sure I want to do that.

A gun totally enclosed in a case is concealed for MPA purposes. Doesn't matter if the case appears to be a gun case or not.

Would you leave it like that when you go into a store or would you hide it better? That's my standard if something is concealed enough.

You are pointing out the difference between common sense versus legal requirements.

If an AR pistol is in a case on the back seat or on the floorboard, what good is it as a truck gun?

Not trying to be a SA here, I just ask because my 'truck gun' is one that I can reach in a hurry if the need arises......

You may wish to look into this. The photo in this link does not fully represent how this holster works.

There is a long strap which encircles the vehicle's seat from front to rear, holding the holster and handgun
in front of your driver's seat.

This is the one I use in the car. It carries my .357 Rossi (loaded with .38 JHP's), covered with a towel that I
keep on the seat. The holster can carry a wide variety of large or small handguns.

IMHO, this would be a better option to provide you with firepower when you are in your seatbelt and unable
to easily draw your primary weapon. YMMV.
