Up here in Michigan- never see them but remember them when going to other parts of the country.

Are they just for hunting season or what?

I would think you would have to worry about getting ripped off to leave a gun in the truck.

Plus the cops around here might view you as threatening or something.

 

about just "NO" in you poll
there needs to be that third choice

 

Couldn't vote! There is no "NO". I don't carry my guns for every body to see. To much temtation for those people who would like to have my things with out payment.

 

My vote would be NO if that were a choice. I do not own guns and have no need since I don't hunt.

At one time my son's and I thought of designing and developing for sale a rear window decal of a gun rack and rifle for pick-ups. I think it would have sold. It would have been a good way to make a statement without actually displaying your weapon!
Any takers out there? I could still go into the business!

 

I used to have one. I never had a gun in it though, just a couple hats and a fishin pole.

 

I drive a Ranger. I'd have to open a window for the barrel to stick out..

But, anyway... My grandfather's trucks always had em.
Me, I live in upstate NY, I'd spend the better part of my life explaining it to Cops, and NYS Troopers draw first and ask second.
I don't feel like getting shot over a decoration.

 

johare, you have a great idea. How about a bazooka, an RPG launcher or a Browning .50 cal? There are all kinds of weapons people would display if they weren't going to be ripped off.

 

When I first moved to the country, I bought the pickup truck, because when you live in the country, you HAVE to have a pickup. Then all my neighbors kept asking when I was going to get a "rack" for the rear window. So I went out and got one. Little did I know they were talking about a GUN rack.

That was 15 years ago, and my neighbors STILL laugh about the time their naive new neighbor put a SPICE RACK in the rear window of his pickup truck...............(hey, you never know when you'll need that emergency jar of coriander!)

 

No truck, so no gunrack in rear window.

But, I do have a holster mounted to the dog house on the drivers side. Usually carry a CZ52 in it.

I hear that

 

When I grew up every pickup we owned had a gun rack and usually one or weapons hanging in it. Can hardly imagine that the truck I used to drive to school in would break Federal law today.

Both trucks I own today have racks in them but I seldom have a weapon hanging in them unless I'm actually headed to the field to hunt. One truck has a gun pouch in the back of the seat cover, nice handy spot for a long arm.

 

I have the racks but I can't use them. I have a sliding rear window. In my old 84' F150 I had them in. They only held a hat and on occasion a fishin pole.

 

Right now mine has a curling broom, a hockey stick , and two hats hanging on it. Summer time, it has a fishing rod and maybe a flower watering wand, and fall it has a rifle and/or a gun.
They are still legal here according to the local police, as long as you dont leave the truck un attended.

 

yes - but no guns.

all the farmers have one up here its for going after gophers and badgers and guys wanting to date their daughters!

 

camo4stealth,
I never thought of producing decals with heavy weapons. I was just thinking the standard deer rifle with a scope or a lever action Winchester. But the bazooka, RPG launcher or .50 cal. would make a great statement! I may have to revisit this idea!
