I guess I could do a how to if anyone cares. I've made a couple of locks that haven't worked out. I'm working on a modified Krypton lock that will have a stud that mounts to the car body and passes through the trigger loop. The lock will slip over the stud and hold everything in place.
I bought the butt and barrel racks at WalMart. Krypton lock from a bicycle shop. The Ithaca Featherlight 12 Mag from a sproting goods store.

Anyone ever had to actually use their Mag light, or Texas Mag light, yet? Cuz I really doubt you'll be able to swing those things in the tight space of your car (much less grab a shotgun from the back seat) with someone aiming a gun in your face. I would think you'd screw yourself. Cuz if I was the crook, I'm put a bullet in you and then beat you with your own Mag light. Even if the crook was too wussy to pull the trigger, I still doubt you could effectively swing that Mag.
But hey, if having it there makes you feel better, then more power to you.

I use mine quite a bit, when you are drilling the holes make sure you pull up the carpet because there is a round hole about the size of a dime punched out of the seat mount bar. It will make drilling a lot easier.

I DO like the idea for convenience but this crap about a weapon rack is just people shooting their mouths off again.

You'd be suprised at how fast a properly motivated individual can brandish a shotgun. But this is Texas after all, a Smith&Wesson model 60 lives in the glove box or leg holster... The shotgun requires no permit, all you have to be is 18. Handgun, if you are 21 and have the attention span to sit through a training class you too can be armed and dangerous!

By the way, if it takes longer than reading the preceeding sentence, you are already dead with three bullets in your skull.
See?

I often thought about carring a mirror around to hold up when I cop tried to blast his flashlight at me...
"How are we doing tonight"
"Fine officer, now get that f'in light out of my face!"
I think having a flash light handy is awesome when you need to check something out on the car. It might be a good weapon in NY where you might be facing a tire iron. Against a gun you should just be taking the mag light and wedging it between the gas pedal and the seat

that is raised next to the seat? Was the head of the flashlight ever in the way of your feet getting in and out?

Is this a special clip for the maglight or just a generic one that fits. I just went and got a 3D maglight from Lowes, but didn't see any clips. I'm going to go try Home Depot before the day is over. Any one want to sell me their other clip for cheap if I can't find it there?

It may be a false sense of security but I'd rather have it than not.

I hope for your sake your're a good swing because for the 6 words in that sentence you just said, someone can unload 6 rounds from a 6 shot revolver in you.
