Transporting Firearms Before Legal Shooting Time

[SongDog]

Keep a straight screw driver and hammer with you for opening trigger locks if your forget the keys, personally I dont even own a trigger lock

A sock with a draw string to close it is fine for transport.
If you are thinking that you may stop in somewhere for breakfast then think storage rather then transport. For this reason and due to the fact that I have a hatch back, I like to have my gun in the gun sock in a hard case with a pad lock on it. This way it is in a locked container for storage if I choose to stop somewhere, it is covered since it is in a hatch back and it is unloaded and in a case when I grab it to walk out to my blind. This works for me as it just makes things easier as a grab and go sort of situation.

Borrow a pair of your wifes or girlfriends , panty hose. take up very little room in your pocket. Good if you are coming out late and forgot your case. Shove the gun down the leg and tie closed. A warden gave me this tip years ago. Notice I said borrow, so you don't get accused of something, when you are innocent. Also good for carrying fish or game. old243

Heard you guys up in Dundalk have your own.......

I use my gun sock as a scarf when it is not in use.

For that lovely "eau de gun oil" cologne smell....

A good tip but also, if hunting with a partner, try their keys. There only seems to be a couple different cut patterns on trigger lock keys.

The lock will pop off, using the flat side of your hunting knife . They pry off very easily. Been there , done that!

Admittedly I am retentive when it comes to firearms so all of mine have a trigger lock even when they go in the safe. Getting used to having them on makes sure that I have a good routine. My boy is 10 and he knows how to handle rifles. However I don't think I can envision every scenario so I just leave them on all the time, even when I have them in the truck.

I buy the combo locks that way I don't have to worry about forgetting a key and ruining a lock breaking it open which of course adds risk to scratching a rifle - this would really really pi$$ me off.

BBD - howled and laughed re: "For that lovely "eau de gun oil" cologne smell..."

I always thought it was a good smell, same as cordite. Lets face it, women don't buy perfume to smell good for men, they buy it to smell good for other women. Took me a while to realize that but it is true.

D- who do the stinky easterners at Walmart wear it for. The entire store. Discussing IMO. Sent you a txt as well.

You can do the same with the pantyhose, although you may earn some odd looks....

Problem solved.

Also good for those "unauthorized withdrawal" at your local banks......Black works best.
