yea, my bud got so tired of having to go to his trunk and lock and unlock his Walther, he finally just gave up on OCing until the and his wife can get the permit. his WIFE, however, freakin' LOVES to OC now and says she states that she has no problems following the permit-less rules.
I guess she figured her life was more important than the
inconvenience of walking to and from the trunk.
trunk....??? i dont have a permit... i keep it OPEN on my front seat or dashboard... why would he put it in his trunk lmao...
Specifically, it was in the trunk b/c it was easier than taking his entire holster off, double retention similar to the SERPA. he bought his gun 2nd hand without a manufacturer case. Contrary to popular belief, these are hard times financially and he was unable to secure an after market case. (as to meet the guidelines of being not readily available). I nor he didn't think he would be in the confines of the law if it was UN HOLSTERED on the seat. On the dash, was not an option b/c of sliding. So, He did the next best thing... lock it in the trunk.
So to re-cap:
Too much fiddling with the holster + no permit + no manufacturer case = TRUNK.
i was actually proud of him, i see i was wrong?? geez.
i wont even bring up the fact that no permit in a school zone issue. the damn thing needs to be under lock and key:
