I'm interested in carrying my Remington 870 in my truck until I can procure a pistol permit. (Carrying a pistol in a vehicle without a permit is illegal in my state :/)
I can forsee a problem with this though. There is nowhere to hide it when I'm not in the truck. (It's a pickup, and easy to see behind the seats. I don't want to scream "Free shotgun" to everyone that walks by). I also want to be able to actually use it if I need to, so keeping it in a gun box is out of the question.
Do any of you have suggestions on how to carry it in a truck? I don't want to just toss it on the seat or something, but I also can't stand rear-window gun racks or overhead racks. I've seen some vertical racks that mount on the floor of your vehicle. Anybody have experience with these?
Also, any opinions on what kind of stock to get? I was thinking of getting a stock from knoxx. I've heard nothing but good things about them. I'm torn between the overfolders and the standard stock. Any opinions? If I'm carrying it I think I'd rather have a folder.
If I have an 18" barrel on the thing, and an overfolder, the shotgun will probably measure at juuuussssttt 26" from the rear of the receiver. What's your suggestion on this. Should I get an 18.5" or 20" barrel? I don't want to get charged with possessing a SBS because some cop decides my shotgun is 25.99" long.... Sadly, getting an AOW license wouldn't matter since SBS/SBR are outright banned in my state
Any suggestions on slings as well? I don't need a 'tacticLOL' sling or anything, but all the slings I've seen for shotguns just kind of.... wrap.. around the barrel. No kits for adding sling mounts or anything.
Regardless, I'm rather upset that I must carry a shotgun for defense. I'd much rather carry a pistol: Smaller, lighter, much easier to draw.... But, alas, the Sheriff in his ultimate wisdom has deemed me not old enough to carry such an 'evil' and 'offensive' instrument.
I'm not too afraid of getting in trouble with the law. It's clearly legal to carry long arms without license pretty much anywhere. (It's a little bit sketchy when it comes to OCing pistols actually) I'd actually be more afraid of some trigger happy citizen or cop gunning me down because "ZOMG HE HAS A SHOTGUN".
