I dont know if this has already been bought up, but what about a .22 caliber nail gun. Is that considered a conceled weapon???

You'd really have to ask the Kommunists who pass gun kuntrol legislation. It really is belivable that states like Ill, NY, KA have language addressing such a tool. While a .22 cal nail "gun" sounds like a "weapon" to your average school girl or metrosexual yuppy puppy, I don't see how it could be held in the same light as a real firearm.

Even if were a legal alternative to a handgun, it would be absolutely worthless IMO. It takes one hand to hold it and the other to strike it with a hammer. Plus, the "barrel" is very short and not rifled. 2 big strikes against any kind on accuracy.

I like the way you thing though

Me personally, the weapon would be strictly for cab/sleeper use. I think a six inch bowie knife can be just as deadly as a pistol. I just wanted to see if anyone knew the fine line between tool and weapon.

Tools can be weapons, and weapons are tools. It's all up to the leftist elites to decide what is legal/legit.

If nothing else, a tire iron can be your friend.....I think we're still allowed to carry them, even in the most kommunist states.

I just got a tire thumper for Christmas, and it's going right next to my seat. Feels like it could do a fair amount of damage.

I love my Mag lite!

That sucker is so bright, I can see clear across the dark places of the parking lot with it.

Teaser.

First let me say thank you for serving this country. I salute you!

But I have to respectfully disagree with you on not letting yourself become a victim. People everyday become a victim because of someone elses choices, not theirs. The latest being the mall shootings. Innocent people shopping minding their own business and because of one persons deranged choice they became victoms. Because of a sane persons choice to carry a weapon this sick person was stopped before any worse carnage was done. We cannot control what other people do but we can somewhat be prepared for these circumstances by carrying a CW.

I think most of us used to carry our weapons years ago...I used to carry my .45 as I went into the Bronx all the time and Philadelphia. I was in some very dangerous areas and, at the time, I didn't care if it was legal or not...and of course it is NOT and would have been a Federal offense if I was caught. NOW, it is even worse...if you get caught with a gun in your truck now, you will definitely go under the jail for sure. Heck, the police in the Bronx used to TELL us that we were idiots if we didn't have something...times are different after 9/11 and all the school shootings and such. Now, you might be good at hiding it in your truck...but that police dog only has to step up on your steps and can smell it, they are trained for that. Be careful, this is truly a different country from just a few short years ago!
